WAT ZIJN DE BESTE COUNTRY ALBUMS OOIT?
__________________________________________________________________________________

De redactie van Zoekenvindalles.nl heeft een poging ondernomen om een overzicht samen te stellen van de beste country albums ooit. De informatie is gebaseerd op een aantal beoordelingen van vooraanstaande critici en websites, aangevuld met de mening van de redactie van Zoekenvindalles.nl. Natuurlijk is de samenstelling van een lijst met de beste country platen ooit een subjectieve bezigheid. Maar aangezien er ook gekeken is naar beoordeling op websites als Allmusic, Musicmeter en de lijsten van Rolling Stone kan in ieder geval gezegd worden dat de onderstaande country albums indruk hebben gemaakt in de muziekgeschiedenis.

Links op de pagina verwijzen naar uitgebreide informatie. Als er (^) staat dan zijn de links aan de rechter bovenzijde van deze pagina te vinden.
