I'm working on an all 90s country music playlist on Spotify for ****s and giggles. I've got plenty of George Strait, Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn, etc on there, but I've also really gone down the rabbit hole chasing songs and artist that I had completely forgotten about. I have always considered myself a 60s-80s classic country fan, but man, I love 90s country too. Maybe it's just because those were my middle school and high school years so it's mainly the nostalgia, but I dig it.

Any recommendations for songs are welcome!

Love 90s country...a few artists to fill up the list (too many songs to write out each one):
Travis Tritt
Mark Chestnutt
Joe Diffie
Confederate Railroad
Reba
Tanya Tucker
Neal McCoy
John Anderson
Mary Chapin Carpenter
Clint Black
Vince Gill
Aaron Tippin
Billy Dean
Tracy Byrd
Clay Walker
Alabama
John Michael Montgomery

Not sure. My primary country listening is still 80's, 90's, and maybe a little early 00's. I grew up on it, I love it, and I hate everything that Nasvhille has become. I have no interest in Rascal Flatts style, and audibly vomit when I hear anything like Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean and that ****. I actively avoid the songs, and hardly listen to radio stations anymore, so I've done quite well not having a clue about "popular" country the last decade+.

did we just become best friends

No 90's country is complete without a little Gary P. Nunn.

Maybe not 90's but a little Highway 101 can never hurt anybody

Rick Trevino.

Man 90's country was the ****... Nashville, what have you become?

How can you forget Restless Heart and Diamond Rio?

I was never a big diamond rio fan, but I do love restless heart

lots of this guy

Wade Hayes
Doug Supernaw

Dixie Chicks and LeAnn Rimes

This new restaurant just opened up in a nearby town, check out this lineup of entertainment. It's like a time machine to the early 90s.

lots of random songs missing from spotify

Great list so far. I'd add Clay Walker

Tim McGraw "Indian Outlaw"
Billy Ray Cyrus "Achy Breaky Heart"
Kenny Chesney "She thinks my tractor's sexy"
Tracy Bird "Watermelon Crawl"
Joe Diffie "Third Rock from the Sun"

surprised at the absence of Diamond Rio.

Here's s few more, some better than others...

Tracy Lawrence
Ty England
Patty Loveless
Alison Kraus
Billy Ray Cyrus
Boy Howdy
Bryan White
Chad Brock
Chris LeDoux
Steve Wariner

Kenny Chesney "She thinks my tractor's sexy"

this song may actually be the watershed moment that ultimately led to luke bryan and florida georgia line

good list dfphotos, several artists I hadn't thought of yet

boy howdy....forgot all about them

Shania Twain and Achy Breaky Heart or GTFO

Shania no doubt. Billy Ray? hell to the no.

Also, Alabama was still crankin em out in the 90's

How can you so long and not mention these two?

Wow, this list really helped me to remember how much I hated the country music coming out of Nashville in the 90's. Almost as crappy as what they are putting out today.

Alan was mentioned in the OP. Dwight slipping through is unacceptable, I apologize.

OK I'm done

My fault. I started reading when the lists started coming in.

FWIW George Strait had 17 #1s in the 90s. Maybe not his heyday but he needs to be added.

Also guys like Toby Keith and Kenny Chesney that went rogue in the 2000s made some decent stuff in the 90s.

George is also mentioned in the OP. Toby and Kenny have already been mentioned as well!

Cmon bruh!
