Als vervolg op de Country top 100 komt nu de K.O. van country, countryrock, countrypop, countryrap (1 nummer), alt-country en bluegrass. We beginnen met 128 nummers; grotendeels uit de top 100, aangevuld met wat klassiekers, (relatief) recente hits, Beatles, Stones, Elvis en een paar persoonlijke favorieten. We spelen met dubbele eliminatie; na twee keer verliezen is een nummer uitgeschakeld.

De nummers (op 9 na) staan in een Spotifyplaylist:
MuMe Country K.O. on Spotify - open.spotify.com

De K.O. is te volgen op http://challonge.com/CountryKO (als alles goed gaat). Verder probeer ik op de eerste pagina van deze draad de huidige stand van zaken bij te laten houden (maar daar heb ik hulp van een moderator voor nodig).

De winnersbracket is tot en met de 5 met 1 verschil, de losersbracket tot en met de 5 met 2 verschil (mogelijk pas ik dat later nog aan).

Ja ik doe mee, mag op z'n tijd wel eens wat country luisteren

Tot de 5, 1 verschil dus.

1. Elvis Presley – Little cabin on the hill vs Gram Parsons - Love hurts

1-0

1-1

1-2

1-3

1-4

Ah, leuk idee met die bracket.

Zit wel relatief veel oudere country bij waar ik minder mee heb en dan met regelmaat de nummers dus ook niet (goed genoeg) ken. Waardoor ik niet kan beloven dat ik heel frequent mee ga doen. De spotifylijst is wel erg fijn.

1-5

2. John Denver - Annie’s Song vs The Bellamy Brothers - Let Your Love Flow

1-0

1-1

2-1 maar die andere is ook leuk. Quickstep muziek.

2-2

3-2

4-2

5-2 Jemig, wel meteen twee toppers tegen elkaar. Spijtig voor The Bellamy Brothers, maar Annie's Song sla ik net iets hoger aan.

3. Kid Rock – All summer long vs Stonewall Jackson - A Wound Time Can't Erase

0-0

1-0

Al denk ik niet dat ik Kid Rock een sympathiek persoon vind...

1-1

1-2

All Summer Long vind ik een erg leuk nummer, maar staat voor mij net iets te ver van countrymuziek(althans, wat ik country vind)

Ik zou het op zich zelf ook onder southern rock scharen, maar "It even crossed over to country music radio, giving Kid Rock his first top-ten country hit." en daarom deed ik 'm toch maar erbij (en om meer recente bekende nummers op de lijst te hebben).

Ik ga mee met Kees-Jan. Hoewel Kid Rock ook veel country heeft gedaan, staat dit nummer er mijlenver vanaf.
1-3

All Summer Song is een van de verschrikkelijkste nummers ooit gemaakt, en dan is het idd ook nog eens geen country. Hadden beter een plaatje van bijvoorbeeld Miranda Lambert ervoor in de plaats kunnen nemen.

1-4

Precies dit! Dit staat echt (veel) te ver van country af.

1-5

4. Marty Robbins - El Paso vs Waylon Jennings - Honky Tonk Heroes

1-0

Stonewall Jackson is nog wel een leuke ontdekking.
