Frankly, I find it amazing that when with riding with someone who listens to country, that you will hear many of the same songs that I heard while riding with my dad back in 1980! Alot of the newer country music is not that far of a leap from pop music as well.
Alot of the newer "country" isn't country at all... Old country is just music that has stood the test of time...

Country music has a lot of good points
1. Country music keeps the rednecks out of the rock n roll bars
2. Country music....... Keeps the rednecks out of the rock n roll bars
Country and Western Music is the only music genres with music in it's name. Because it is the only genre that has truly earned it... :)
If you call songs designed to allow a sing along with a finger up your nose music so be it.
Been to one country show. Drugs and women will make you do stupid things. They had a 5 minute drum solo With a spinning drum kit. This was in about 98. How original. That was enough for me to puke on my boots.

Come on, I listen to both Country and Western. She does have an amazing voice. Somebody must agree with the assessment. She sold as many albums as AC/DC and Def Leppard.
Nickelback is an acquired taste. Little edgy for most people. Sing a lot of controversia; songs.
I saw Nickelback 3 times when they first came out. (Drugs will make you torture yourself). They were anything but edgy. Just stop talking about music please. You are making my migraine worse.

Not edgy? Songs about spousal abuse, high school girls throwing babies in the trash can, girlfriend handling her boyfriend's 'shifter'? OK, call it 'controversial'.
BTW, I was a roadie back in the late 70's, early 80's. My worst 'tour' was with Linda Ronstadt and Bread. Talk about polar opposites. I will say though, Linda knew how to throw one heck of a concert after party.

So songs about sex, abuse, and poor decisions are controversial? To me, tearing pages out of a bible, songs against the government, performances burning the popes picture. Not stuff that happens in everyday lives (with the exception of the baby in a trash can). By your criteria, Katie Perry is just as controversial. Guess that makes her a great musician also.

Alot of the newer "country" isn't country at all... Old country is just music that has stood the test of time...
True, I am a huge fan of bluegrass, but don't listen to any of these pop country performers. We have a HUGE country music festival a couple small towns away every summer and it is a drunken circus and not the type of thing I would call family freindly at all regardless of how big of American flag they tack on the back of the stage.

I like the more Outlaw country myself kinda turned into texas country. But I don't like the way it has evolved more recently but it is still pretty local to texas... The thing I love is Willie Nelson live. Because he plays country music, but plays it like he's playing jazz. He riffs up or down to key notes in his songs. So every time you see him it is like hearing these songs for the first time all over agian..
But their has been SOME good new music. Like that duet with Randy Travis, and Carry Underwood are amazing songs...

It's like I don't even know you anymore. The only country worth listening to is Kenny Rogers. And to some extent The Man in Black, Mr. Cash.

Darth, there is nothing better than getting up early at sunrise when it is really quiet in the country, pouring a cup of coffee, and putting on some good bluegrass and just relaxing for a half hour and looking out at my place before starting the day.

Well, Jstdv8, that is kind of like you profiling as well. I will make a leap that you are referring to rock music and the majority isn't screamed, yelled, or sang very poorly. Some of the most accomplished vocalists in the world are rock singers. The harder music, that with the screaming you are referring to is metal and not rock and really isn't considered mainstream in that in most markets you won't have a station that plays it.

I listen to it all man.
Ive got Eazy-E and NWA and Too Short, Ive got Motley Crue, Led Zeplin, Pink Floyd, Nirvana, STP, God smack, Ect....
I just prefer country. Actually the country I prefer most probably came out of the Early 90's with Garth Brooks, Brooks & Dunn and Tim Magraw wehn they were in thier early stuff.
Most of my favorite rock bands are the likes of Creed and Soundgarden due to thier vocals USUALLY being the lead rather than the guitar or the drum.
I love me some nickleback too, but if I had to choose....

Nickelback sucks. They are an "acquired taste" like eating feces would be an "acquired taste".
Real country music doesn't suck. Most of what is played on country radio today is pop music that has a few "ya'lls" and slide guitars mixed in here and there. And Shania Twain got it started, so she sucks too.
But a real country music guy, like JAMEY JOHNSON, in the vein of Cash, Merle Haggard, and Waylon Jennings, is awesome.
