Wide Open Country (USA) - 50 Essential '90s Country Songs (2022)

Lists by single critics or musicians, published in magazines or on websites, have lower priority. The amount of such lists would be impossible to handle.
(However, priority is given to single author lists from books, very famous music critics and artists with albums or songs ranked on Acclaimed Music. Single author lists are also more likely to get priority if they are not limited to a genre or artist.)

Well, THAT'S why I thought I was seeing double! It's because I confused "Taste of Country" with "Wide Open Country"! My bad. They are, in fact, two distinct publications with their own thoughts on the best country songs of the 1990s. (And now I'm even more grateful to The Boot for at least having a distinctive name).
