Obviously you are not a country music fan. You've left out a few of history's biggest selling country acts: Reba, Vince, Toby, Carrie. That's not a laughing matter. As far as top acts in country today... Oklahoma is on top.

Nothing againsts Hinder... glad they are from here... but still less famous than their Okie country cousins.

Maybe... I actually think it will be more likely Red Dirt bands like Cross Canadian Ragweed.
