	Good to see a good country music quiz... not too many out there!

	Not sure the songs selected are the most familiar, but a great list. Note: #2 doesn't accept last name only. I realize there's an overlap with #10, but there's overlaps on #19 with #10 and #24 with #6 too. (That is, if you type out the whole name of the first, you get the answer on the second.) I'll try to make this an Editor's Choice tomorrow, because I've already got 2 for today.

	The only way to get around those overlaps would be forced order, but I don't think it would fit with this quiz. I took your suggestion and made some edits.

	How is Carrie Underwood not on here?

	jamesj0324:	Jun 13th, 2010 at 21:40 GMT	1 point
	It's based on the compilation of the last 25 years of charts and Carrie Underwood has only been active on the charts for a few years. (That's the same reason Taylor Swift and others aren't listed here)

	Great quiz, but a quick question about #24: "Country Club"? Really" I was a huge fan back in the day, but I guess I started to be a fan with his second album, because that tune rang no bells for me. I checked, and it wasn't really a huge hit. Could I suggest: "Here's a Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares)", or if you insist it be off his first album: "Help Me Hold On"? Love the quiz, though. Country is definitely under-represented on Sporcle, especially country that predates Carrie and Taylor!

	Personally, I'm more familiar with Country Club, but I changed it to Help Me Hold On, which was a number one hit off his first album, and mentioned in the source.

	Carrie should be on there
