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.
