Before I update y'all on my listening journey (which will hopefully be fairly soon!), I discovered what could end up in my top 10 Dolly songs.

Whatever helps y'all sleep at night, I guess.

You're Still the One w/ Zedd

Thank God I stopped giving a **** about country music (unless it comes from Kacey Musgraves, Dolly Parton and Shania Twain).

I need $5,000 (and more) for just dealing with this administration.

Yeah, I never intend on touching their collaboration albums. As a matter of fact, I can confidently say her Porter Wagoner album is probably my least favorite at the moment, it's got a few hits but several mids & duds. Her vocal performances on her albums in the late 70s scratches so many itches in my brain. A lot of her albums have all the songs saved in my library (The Seeker/We Used To included) I did, however, mute re-recordings from the albums to keep it less repetitive.

Yeah, I've found a few duds and a few that weren't necessarily bad, just mid. I can say my absolute least favorite so far is I'll Oilwells Love You (which I found out was one of her least favorites as well). After listening to Great Balls of Fire, Dolly surpassed Taylor and has the most liked songs of all the artists in my library. And I haven't even started on the 22nd album yet

Ooh, I found the base! Huzzah! I've always been a fan of this legend, but I've planned on going through the queen's gigantic discography instead of just knowing her general hits. I started just mere weeks before her passing and I'm so far finished with her '60s and '70s records (I only plan on going through her solo albums). The ones I've already stanned: Drives Me Crazy, Better Get to Livin', Faith, If You Hadn't Been There, Baby I'm Burnin', World On Fire, Here You Come Again, I Will Always Love You, 9 to 5 and Jolene. The essential highlights I've found along the way: Great Balls of Fire, Sweet Summer Lovin', Star of the Show, I Wanna Fall in Love, Sure Thing, Two Doors Down, (Your Love Has Lifted Me) Higher & Higher, Light of a Clear Blue Morning (quite literally a top 5 highlight in her repertoire), Boulder to Birmingham, All I Can Do, We Used to, The Bargain Store, Love Is Like a Butterfly, Cracker Jack, My Tennessee Mountain Home, Joshua, Golden Streets of Glory, My Blue Tears, Coat of Many Colors, In the Ghetto, He's A Go Getter (the wordplay on this chef's kiss), In the Good Old Days When Times Were Bad, Something Fishy, Dumb Blonde, God's Coloring Book, Help, Most of All Why, Touch Your Woman and the absolute heartwrenchers that are Letter to Heaven and Me & Little Andy. Although it seems like I've barely crossed half of the finish-line, I've already saved over 200+ songs. Currently my favorite record is New Harvest...First Gathering... what a gem!

The Dolly x3 album is next on my list, so I'm very excited to hear these 👀

Going through her discography (I'm about to start on the '80s albums) and I found some BAWPS. I know this one is a hit in her discography, but I actually listened to it for the first time and it's easily in my top 5 of her songs. I'd say if I had to pick my favorite record, it's so far New Harvest...First Gathering Also if you want your heart ripped out of your chest...
