Let me start off by saying this is not my list, so don’t get mad at me when your favorite song isn’t on here. Personally, I was pretty surprised not seeing Morgan’s name on here at all, neither is Luke Combs or Lainey Wilson. But like I said, not my list, this belongs to Taste of Country.
They came up with a list of the 25 best songs since 2000 and to be fair, that’s really hard to do. There are so many amazing songs, we could easily make a list of 2500, instead of only 25. However, in their opinion, these are the best from the last 25 years which are based on things like how well they did on the charts, cultural impact, awards and just plain ol’ emotional impact after hearing it.
Top 25 from the last 25 years:
1. “Live Like You Were Dying” by Tim McGraw
2. “The House That Built Me” by Miranda Lambert
