My favorites are the ones I grew up with as a kid, when they had country here on AM radio still... The Gatlin Brothers, Oak Ridge Boys, Ronnie Milsap, Eddie Rabbitt, Anne Murray, Alabama, Dolly Parton, Conway Twitty... Always a big John Denver fan though I suppose he wasn't really considered much a "country" singer. I know there's more but it's been a while.

Pretty much anything by Lefty Frizzell, Patsy Cline, Marty Robbins, and especially Jimmie Rodgers.

Here is one from about 1989. In reality though, I go back to the 60's when dad would sing a lot of country to all of us.

Country music lost me somewhere around 1980. Up until then I like nearly all of it.
I can't even listen to it now. All the overdone fake southern accents are like fingernails on a blackboard to my ears. I even hear auto tune being used by some singers. Todays' country is to music what Twinkies are to food.

Growing up I was fed a diet of the stuff my dad liked - Hank Sr and Jr., Hank Snow, George Jones, Waylon, Boxcar Willie, etc.. I remember my dad dragging me to see Conway Twitty, Johnny Cash, Stomping Tom, Tommy Hunter and a few others when their tours hit our neck of northern Ontario. Getting a big name up there even in the late 80's and early 90's was pretty rare, unheard of these days.
When I worked as a jock for a country station I was saddened when the stuff from the 80's and earlier was slowly pushed off the air in favour of the newer stuff that often bordered on rock. Not saying it is bad stuff, just that for the most part I liked the older country.
