I like country music, grew up around it so it was hard to avoid it.

And, just in case you were trying to find out more about a couple of those songs.

Josh Turner - Me And God
Not sure about "anyways", but I believe the "uh...sweet tea", might be...
Billy Currington - "Good Directions"

6/17/2007 8:47:36 PM

"Not sure about "anyways","

its martina mcbride song. how do i know that? i bothered to look up the lyrics online.
it goes like "god is great, but sometimes life isnt good......"

6/17/2007 11:16:30 PM

i hate country

but i can stand garth brooks

thus, he's not country

he's too mainstream to be country

he goes to fricken ireland and shoots confetti guns into the crowd

that's not country

6/17/2007 11:17:53 PM

i have a very broad taste in music but I do not like country. The music is thoughtless a 5 year old could create half the lyrics. Some red neck guy singing about riding his tractor, his glory days playing football and falling in love, or how "great" is boring podunk small town is. The songs lack much artistic talent and the lyrics are bland. I guess you need to create simple songs for all the stupid people to understand. I laughed one day on the highway when some dude had the bumper sticker "country music supports inbreeding."

Every time i hear about a country band coming to raleigh I want to show up the concert. Run on stage burn the guy's retarded cowboy hat and break whatever instrument violin/banjo that gives country music that cliche' annoying "country twang" that every country song has.

At least rappers think of catchy lyrics, make up new slang (unknowning to them a form of metaphor) to represent doing what gangsters do, rap really fast, and invoke a lot more talent in order to perform a lot of there music.

One time i went to play power hour at a friends place; little did i know they planned on playing "country power hour." That 60 mins was fucking torture.

yup

the shit they play on the radio is crap

6/17/2007 11:53:23 PM

What are the prerequisites to be classified as country, and if things like garth brooks isn't country what genre of music is it?

6/18/2007 12:00:11 AM

well blasphemour is way more of a purist than me, but you cant put a banjo in a pop song and call it country

6/18/2007 12:05:36 AM

I can't say I'm a huge fan of new country


but I like some of it

6/18/2007 12:17:07 AM

George Strait is the antichrist of country music

90% of it has sucked since he came around

6/18/2007 12:51:51 AM

yeah most new country sucks, and is poppy crap. some of the old stuff though is quite beautiful, soulful and sad. i mean some of it you can hear the pain in the vocals, good stuff. and rap sucks

country has some catchy lerics, just like in brad paisleys id like to check u for ticks.

but i like country and old country and classic rock and stuff. but my roomates like it too, but i think they have gotten into more of a rock mode because one of them states, he doenst like todays country because its become too "pop"ish

6/18/2007 10:42:48 AM

^^because certainly there can be no parallels between mainstream country vs. "good" country and mainstream rap vs. "good" rap.

6/18/2007 11:25:17 AM

there is

there is a difference in todays country music. thats why people are fans of one group and not of another.

i dont like rascal flatts

i do like brooks and dunn

6/18/2007 11:28:44 AM

brooks and dunn isnt "today's country"????

6/18/2007 11:39:19 AM

u know what i mean

but ur right, todays country is more pop then before and has a different sounds

brooks and dunn have made songs to fit that style but they have been around for a long time and are country gold...what i like to say

6/18/2007 11:42:13 AM

i've got a few Alabama songs that I like... and that's about it as far as country goes

6/18/2007 4:14:54 PM

hmm a few more songs

"if i had a dime, for all the things i did, it dont make no sense at all, i like alcohol, ... ???"


"she is eveeerrrything to me...."

6/18/2007 11:38:02 PM

I like Country music alot.

the new shit sucks ass.

as far as country not having intelligent lyrics, I can see that in some songs, but others have great lyrics. see: Sunday Morning Coming Down

I like country music -- actually played in a country/rock band (ala Cross Canadian Ragweed) for a while.

Whoever said the lyrics are lacking in country must not be listening. True -- they're not the most intellectually stimulating songs, and the song arranagements are incredibly simple --- but well-written songs don't have to be complex.

To me, good lyrics are all about connecting to the listener. You can tell the simplest story, make the simplest observation, or sing the simplest words, but if they're presented in the right context, they can be extremely moving. That's what country music is all about. Plus the genre has the best hook lines in all of music -- a HELL of a lot better than most of the pop/r&b shit out right now.
