Country's not bad

[CityandColour]

I don't know why everyone rags on country... it's not bad. There are a bunch of whiney bastards, yes, but there's some good stuff.

A lot better then that punk shit, if you ask me.

Reply. Now, or I'll feast on your soul.

I was going to reply earlier but didnt bother. Now my soul is at risk...

Yes, country isnt that bad. I enjoy Johnny Cash especially and there are some great country songs.

The comparison with punk is a good one, because in the same way people see Country as recycled crap is even worse on the Punk music scene.

Punk is way worse.

When I was a kid, all I used to listen to was Garth Brooks :stunned: :lol:

[::Hayley::]

LOL me too he was the greatest...

I remember on a trip with loads of people on a minibus when I was about 15/16 and we had a Garth Brooks Reuinted Karoke (god!!!1) - It was the funniest night of my life hahahah... I remember this one guy was really going for it.. singing..

"I will sail my vessel
'Til the river runs dry
Like a bird upon the wind
These waters are my sky
I'll never reach my destination
If I never try
SO I WILL SAIL MY VESSELLL....
TIL THE RIIIIVERRR RUNNS DRYYYYYY"

I still know him and he considers himself to be quite the ladies man :sneaky: OH if those ladies only knew :lol:

[fifi]

:lol: :lol: Aw I'd kill to have a Garth singalong! :lol:
Sounds like fun! I used to just randomly sing "I've got friends in low places" :lol:

Real country is tolerable (not that I would ever listen to it, unless forced). I just can't stand the kind that is played nowadays where it is butched country, made to sound like pop.

[cheers2u]

i like alison krauss...she has an angelic voice, but then most of her material ruins it for me.

[Reilly]

Justine has a good point there.

Some AWFUL pop-country going around. Shania Twain did it decently, but some people are ugh...

[vertigo caz]

I wouldnt say I'm a huge country music fan, but I do confess I like Garth Brooks, he has some quality songs

[ugadawg5]

a few great country songs that aren't all stereotypically twangy:

Kenny Chesney - I Remember, I Go Back

Toby Keith - Good To Go To Mexico

Brad Paisley - Who Needs Pictures, You Have that Effect on Me.

solid country songs - try them out...

[putainfromage]

let me take this moment to recommend neko case to everybody on earth.

Ugh. Bad pop with a twang. At least about 99% of the stuff that makes it onto the radio, anyway.

But yes, there is the occasional bit of real brilliance- a great song is a great song, no matter what the genre.
