Rolling Stone listed their top 500 greatest songs of all time. Glen's only song at #206 with Wichita Lineman. Gentry's Ode to Billie Joe is #191 and Elvis' highest rank at #70 Suspicious Minds. He only had 2 other ranked listings.

Uhm, Roy Clark below Mrs Carter and Willie Nelson. Willie great songwriter. Ok singer. Marginal guitar player for a professional. [...] buck owens could run rings around a lot of those folks.
Of an article last month, Hello Music Theory ranked Glen as #12 for the greatest & most famous country guitar players of all time:
