As much as country music bores me, I do have respect for the music as being a genuine form of music with talented musicians and singers, even if it ain't my taste. I can't say the same for shit hop though. I see it as a boring talentless form of bullshit that is made by ignorant non-musicians for a rich white man's profits. I have no respect for it whatsoever. . . [Edited 7/13/07 11:14am] i dont like country music at all BUT i will give them props for one thing...they never turn their back on an artist cuz of their age like in the other genre's,Kenny Rogers,Willy Nelson and others have continued to get airplay on the video channels and on the radio for years and years and i think thats pretty cool | |

http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 Add: The Pointer Sisters Solomon Burke Candi Staton They don't now they better ask somebody.  I don't dig it all that much but I love the soulful versions of the songs (like the covers of "Ain't It Funny How Time Slips Away" for example) but I respect it as a genre.[Edited 7/13/07 18:25pm] | |

The swill thats being put out is damn near incompetant they're making songs like Tequila Takes Her Clothes Off and Size Matters Who's fault fault, i'd Say it's Toby Keiths fault. The most prominent thing about Country music was specifically the writing. Cats like John Prine, Willie Nelson , Cash were prominent in writing. Classics like Angels From Montgomery and etc... In that says todays country music does indeed suck... cause it isn't country music, its country PoP... If you want to hear some of the old school country in todays music you gotta go towards the indie Alternative Country movement Cats like Ryan Adams & The Cardinals, Wilco, Jeff Finlan, Wheat , Eastmountainsouth etc... Great song writing, music is top notch. I would say this is more country than country music and its infinitely better... The spirit of johnnyy cash and country music liives on in Alternative Country But Size Matters, even though it's a corny song, is a George Strait song, isn't it? He's old school as well. IT isnt a george strait song, but Strait sucked as well... I am a Rail Road, Track Abandoned

Has anyone notice that Country might be THE only genre that doesn't use a drum machine or a synth (not counting keyboard workstations)? | |

I basically have generic 'form' posts for threads like this. I have one for "Dylan can't sing" threads, "The Beatles aren't all that" posts, and this one for "Country is crap":
There are two reasons why country music is one of my favourite art-forms: 1) It sounds nice. There are few things in music more elegant and timeless than a stripped down, understated country arrangement, which can make the most tired material sound fresh and alive. And, unlike almost every other genre I seem to hear these days, country vocalists tend to sing with rather than wail uncontrollably overtop of their material. 2) Country songwriters place an emphasis on melody and song construction that is largely absent from most other genres in recent years. Pop and r&b are dominated by rhythms and production techniques, and I can appreciate those qualities in music, but ultimately it is the fundamentals of song construction that make music resonate with me. | |

 Country music is great, its not all redneck, Ray Charles was country and theres no denying the talent of
Jimmie Rodgers, Hank Williams, Gene Autry, Johnny Cash, Jim Reeves, Patsy Cline, Dean Martin, DOLLY PARTON, KENNY ROGERS, Patsy Rigger, Suzanne Prentice, Loretta Lynn, Lynn Anderson, Anne Murray and Le Ann Rimes. How DARE You say country music sucks!!!!!  17 Years ago I made a commitment to Prince | |
