Top 5 Guide Picks - Class of 1994

By Shelly Fabian, About.com

Each year we see a new class of stars appear on the country music horizon. Sometimes an artist will have a huge hit right off the bat, and other times it may take an album or two. The stars listed as the "Class of 1994" are those that made their first impact on country music in that year.

1. David Ball - Thinkin' Problem

This is the album that launched the career of David Ball, and turned him into an overnight superstar of the early nineties. If anyone was deserving, it was him because he has kept the rock and pop out of country, much like he still does today.

2. BlawkHawk - BlackHawk

The trio BlackHawk consisted of Henry Paul, Dave Robbins, and Van Stephenson. Their debut album contains the hit singles "Goodbye Says It All," and "Every Once In a While."

4. Tim McGraw - Not a Moment Too Soon

This is the CD that put Tim on the map. It's his second, and contains the monster ballad, "Don't Take The Girl," as well as the controversial "Indian Outlaw," the title track, and the fun "Down on the Farm."

5. Bryan White - Bryan White

Bryan was off to a fast start with "Rebecca Lynn," which talks about a first love, "Someone Else's Star," which has a wistful quality to it, and is also Bryan's first No. 1 song, and the fast paced "Look At Me Now." This album is also his most country.
