Rocky Top was adopted as the state song in 1982, the latest state song was adopted in 1996. So yea I would say there is a comparison between the two, and I think you are just being confrontational by even arguing that point, but if you still don't believe me I even looked up a link for you.

No I'm not being confrontational about it. I wasn't going to get extremely technical either.


My Old Kentucky Home is played in the same spirit as the Star Spangled Banner. How about I say it is the state anthem instead of song.

Thats great that the state of Tennessee actually adopted Rocky Top as one of its state songs. Still not THE state song.

UT plays that song to death. Every time they score, which in the past has been alot against UK. It is more of a cheer than a song that shows respect for the state.

I do maintain my point that there is no comparison, or at best a very slim comparison.
