I'm not a country fan at all, but I do like some songs by country artists that have been hits on the pop charts.
Some that I do like include (all of these have been hits on the pop charts, and been played on pop music radio stations):
Many songs by LeAnn Rimes.
"I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack.
There are a few Shania Twain songs that i don't mind (including "Man I Feel Like A Woman" and the 'pop' version of "That Don't Impress Me Much").
"You'll Think Of Me" by Keith Urban.

There are quite a few country songs I like. I don't listen regularly, but I don't mind hearing it once in awhile. I do like George Jones alot, and I love Patsy Cline.
He Stopped Loving Her Today and The Grand Tour--George Jones
Shameless, The Dance, Thunder Rolls--Garth Brooks
Forever and Ever Amen and 3 Wooden Crosses--Randy Travis
Some Dixie Chicks songs and pretty much anything by Patsy Cline
There are lots more, if I think of more I'll post them later.

I forgot to add: "Landslide" by the Dixie Chicks isn't really a favorite of mine, but there are times when I don't mind listening to it. :-\\ O0

I like a lot of the older stuff, from the 70's and before.
Too many to list right now, but one of my favorites was "Rose Garden" by Lynn Anderson (1970).

Don't know whether it's 'pure' country, but Harry Nilsson's 'Everybody's Talking' has got to be one of my all time faves. No other song brings back memories of the movie it is associated with as well as this song...

I completely forgot about him. I loved What's Forever For, as well as his other 80's pop-coutry hit "Still Taking Chances" :)

Oh, I forgot I like Indian Outlaw by Tim McGraw... I'm pretty sure it's a remake/sample from another older song called Cherokee People.

Without hearing it, I'd say that was 'Indian Reservation'...or a version of it!

Yep, that's originally 'Indian Reservation (The Lament Of The Cherokee Reservation Indian)' which was the biggest hit by Paul Revere and the Raiders
