Title: Country music doesn't suck.
Post by: major tom on December 30, 2007, 09:15:02 PM
Alright, alright. I don't like country music. But it's ridiculous what a lot of people say about it.

Today's country is pretty much poop, but that's obvious. But what about old country? You can't say 'Johnny Cash sucks' with a sane mind. He was an amazing musician. I don't listen to any country, but I know there's quality in some of it.

I do like some country rock. Lynyrd Skynyrd is the best example of this. Listen to That Smell- a relaxed, bluesy, country-styled rock n' roll tune. The Rolling Stones, though British, have had a thing for America's music. Their somewhat famous song Dead Flowers is a nice country rock song, though it's more country than rock imo.

You don't have to like country, I don't either. But I don't see why everyone looks down at it in general just because today's country sucks. Respect it, ya'll.

there are a couple of exceptions to the "country sucks" rule, and cash is one of them.


but really, to like country music in general, you have to be tone dead.

I'd find it easier to like country than a lot of crap.

Like technopop club beat musics.

When people say "country sucks", they're usually talking about what people consider country today. And what country is today does suck.
It's also confused a lot with folk. Folk is awesome, but too many people can't tell the difference, so they just catagorize it with country.
Also, there's a big difference betwee Country and Country Rock. :D

I've heard c-rock that leans to country and c-rock that leans to rock. There's a difference but not much. I just mentioned country rock because it's a kind of country I like.

And yes, folk is pretty kickass. Being the rock guy I am... yes I generally like folk-rock xD But ummmm yeep. Folk is great, anyone who gets it mixed up with country is totally wrong'd.

Country is easy listening, so I like it.
The lyrics are usually good too.

I don't normally listen to it either.

But that's why The Eagles are there. :)

They are a little bit of both.
