Mike should be very pleased because he is ranked right up there with other greats such as Gram Parsons,New Riders of The Purple Sage,Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and others.

I'd be interested to see where other albums fell. Also, how was the article about Gene Clark and Life after The Byrds?? Thanks!!! lm Smashing, Simply Smashing!

I thought "Sweetheart of The Rodeo" might have been higher than #5, it was one of my favorites, as well as "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" by The NGDB. I guess I never considered Bob Dylan as "Country Rock" but more "whiny folk" It's really cool that Nez took #15, and like you said Ray, among the other "Greats". Although personally I would have been much happier if he'd have ranked higher than The Flying Burrito Brothers (w or w/o Gram Parsons!). IMHO only. Smashing, Simply Smashing!

It's a 2 CD set and is really expanded upon greatly. Yes,I will admit I am a Gram Parsons fan. He died at age 26,but look at the huge influence he had on music. "Magnetic South" is one of the best early Nesmith solo albums,in my opinion. Such a classic!
