I'm not a fan of the Randy Newman's Rednecks. I think most of Tom Lehrer's music would be a better, "I wanna go back to dixie" would even one up Newman on the same topic.

I think the "protest country" genre could be better represented. I'd take John Prine's "Paradise" or "Your flag decal won't get you into heaven anymore" over Johnny Russell.

I love that Tom Waits is on the list, but I can't help but think that Don McLean's "The Grave" is probably better known.

I also feel like "The band played waltzing Matilda" should be almost-mandatory, but I'm not sure where it would squeeze in.

- tjr225 8y agoHadn't even known of John Prine until I found a stack of CDs in a case washed up on a beach in Olympia, Washington- I dried out the CD's and stuck them in the 1996 Jeep. Really awesome musician.
