never understood the appeal of country....
In fact, in my youth i had this bumper sticker:
"My music" would be the 90's Grunge and alternative era.
that all being said, what did my nephew want for Christmas when he was 8 that this uncle was proud to get for him?
a Johnny Cash Cd.
It was some greatest hits type Collection that had just come out. I think it was this one, all I really remember was on Christmas Morning, when he ripped off the cellophane, and popped the Disc out, there under the Disc was the Classic Shot of Johnny Flipping the bird

When I listen to country, it's primarily the very late 1950's all the way up to the late '70's. After that....it sounds pretty much like it went "Hollywood".

+1000, I love this haha...
everyone has their own taste in music, one thing I can't stand is, country music, of all sorts but then again I might be ignorant because I have listened to about 10? maybe 15, and they were horrible to the point that no other attempts were made.

Good popular music in general failed about in 2008. Country music is no exception.
If it's not Dwight Yoakam or George Strait, forget it.
I miss real country music. I went to Vincent Gill concert last year .... makes me miss it.
Real country makes you feel something. This new stuff apparently is all about driving your brotruck around drunk, hanging out with your bro in the "country" and doing things "around here"

And all the performers and their arrangements sound alike. Dierks Bentley I can recognize, but not many of the newer people. Whereas you could always tell Johnny Cash from Merle Haggard, both the voice and the choice of material. (Hard to imagine Merle doing "One Piece at a Time.")
I've been a fan of country since I worked as a country station DJ back in the mid-'70s. (Mel Tillis, Gene Watson, Waylon & Willie -- and some "new" country like Guy Clark. You get the idea.) I've said for years country was the last pop music type left where the artists generally were good-looking -- and some gorgeous, like Faith Hill -- and tried to look their best on stage. And where you could still understand every word they sang.
I guess those things are still true . . . but country has indeed lost something, the story songs among them. "Three Wooden Crosses" by Randy Travis and "Beaches of Cheyenne" by Garth Brooks? We're not hearing those kinds of almost complete short stories in song nowadays.

I listen exclusively to channel 57 and 58 on XM. Y2Kountry and Prime Country. Every now and then, something new comes up, but it's mostly really good '90s and early '00s country music. Alan, Toby, George, Reba, Martina, Randy, Trisha...those folks.
