SO, I AM A COUNTRY LISTENER
BUT I DO LIKE AS WELL EVERYTHING, FROM HEAVY METAL TO CLASSIC, BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT I HAVE MET PEOPLE DURING THE YEARS AND THEY SAID THAT THEY "LIKE EVERYTHING BUT COUNTRY" AND THEY EVEN HAD NEVER HEARED IT, SO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH IT?

Skyee - thanks for that....I laughed at what you wrote there until I cried! great stuff.....ever considered doing standup? Seriously! That material is GOLD!

Juan - er...little suggestion...turn off yer capslock key...it's kind of like 'shouting' in forums....

I personally can't understand the appeal of country music. A lot of it is so depressing.

The problem with country music is that Nashville SNUBs the originators. They totally lost touch with the roots of Country and dont even play the old folks that release new material, like Loretta Lyn and Johnny Cash, Tom T Hall etc....

I dont mind Country, I like all music, but I think Nashville is all about Business. Plus, a lot of the stuff on modern country radio sounds like pop or hip hop with a pedal steel guitar. Goofy

Gimmie some Old Hank or that outlaw stuff.

Now, there are some great stories in Country and some fantastic musicians.

Oh yeah, How about the Grammys, Loretta Lynn and the soundtrack from Oh Brother Where Art Thou. Not even mentioned in the Country Music Awards.

A major part of the problem with country music is that the prejudice still exists that there is nothing worth listening to. Not too far above, Skyee proved this point to a 'T'.

I happen to be a country music fan, have been all my life, and will likely be one until the day I die. I find that the music and the lyrics (if you actually listen to them) make sense and they'll hit you on a different level.

Country music is not all whining and twang, which is still the generalized misconception.


(Oh, and Juan? You don't need to yell at us with the caps lock on, eh?)

Truth be told, I think some of the best male vocalists are in Country.

I LOVE country music..and have never been ashamed to admit it. I listen to everything. And I am thankful for that. Bring on the country!
oh yeah...and to you country haters out there.....a lot of music is influenced by country...you would be suprised how many of your faves are country fans....and I bet some of the stuff you listen to ...is a redone country song...I could play several songs...I am sure , take out the country melody, and you would like it.

I think country music is the best. I dont have a station here so I am watching alot of CMT and doing alot of downloading. I think country offers a good meaning, we can all relate to country, in one way or another..

Ack! Don't remind me. Whenever I play the White Album I always leave that track out. Rocky Racoon was just Beatles Ballyhoo Never thought of it as 'country'. Just after the Beatles split, Ringo released "Beaucoup of Blues" - funny name for a country album. Huge Beatles fan though I was, I just couldn't bring myself to buy Ringo's album
