I think I'm going to go through my itunes and see how much I have in each genre/subgenre, whatever. Actually that might be a thread in itself.

I hate any modern country music (early 90's and up). I don't have to listen to it for some obscure artist to catch my ear. I've heard tons of it - it's either super down home and sounds like a toothless preacher wrote it or it's pop dreck with southern inflections. It's mass produced and sounds like shit.

There, I did it. I hate an entire genre.

No you don't, because Country is country no matter what year it came out.

Johnny Cash is country music and so is Toby Keith.

It may have changed but there aren't two genres of completely different country.

It's like Rock n Roll is one Genre, everything else is a subgenre of that.

I can find a song or two in all genres I like. I don't listen to rap much, but there are a few good ones out there.


well, to quote Lumberg from Office Space...

Yeeeaahh...., I'm gonna have to go ahead and....disagree with you on that one....

At the risk of completely oversimplifying things, there ARE two kinds of country. There is the Nashville establishment, which pumps out the lowest common denominator bullshit, and then there is all the other country music.

Try telling the ghost of Johnny Cash that Toby Keith is a natural progression of where Johnny Cash was coming from...if you want Johnny Cash to roll over in his grave...and then hunt you down.

I'm with Phil on country. It just doesn't appeal to me. It's either too much manufactured pop/country, or it's down home 'my wife left me and kicked my dog', or 'my man cheated on me and I want to get him back' stuff. A lot of it also strikes me as quite fake. I mean, wearing denim and a John Deere hat doesn't make you a country boy when you have a mansion with a butler and drive a Bentley.

Rap is the same way. Aside from the variety of beat mixes, it's all the same.

- I fuck bitches.
- I fuck ho's.
- I be clubbing.
- Let's smoke weed.
- I'm a pretend gangsta.
- Still fucking bitches.

There's some rap and some country that I like. But, it just doesn't generally appeal to me, and that's why.

i can handle some mos def and biz markie. beyond that, i can tolerate public enemy, nwa, wu tang clan, etc. i never seek it out, though.

as far as country is concerned, anything that is very closely related to folk is okay with me. i don't like glamorized or popular country by any means. johnny cash, woody guthrie, huddie ledbetter are good in my book, but most associate them with folk.

Edit: the beastie boys, in regards to rap, too. they're white, though. obviously.

I'd debate Cash being more associated with folk than country/western music, but otherwise this post is a damn good one.
