Does any one listen or am I the lone man

I'm sorry Anthony...

I hate country music. I just can't stand it.

Listen to some Metallica, Godsmack or Rage Against the Machine

Hey, I got a soccer tournament in Austin this weekend. I may call you later...

a violent and resounding "no" from me.

I like bluegrass. I like newgrass. I like real country, such as Doc Watson. I like singer songwriters like the late Townes Van Zandt. I like many different types of music which are on the fringe of what is now called "country" music, along with many other styles of music.

But if you mean the overproduced pop music which passes for country these days, then no. Never. The mindless crap that gets played on top 40 country radio and awarded at the CMA. That isn't country music. No thanks.

If you call Steve Earle, Townes van Zandt, The Peacemakers, and such alt-country ilk country then I'm a hard rockin' country music nut. But if you call country the stuff that comes from Nashville(you know the pop with a twang), then I hate country like a guy with a knife to my balls.

OOoooo. Sorry. No.

Not my scene, really. That said, I've managed to see Ms. Dolly, Willie Nelson, Reba, and Johnny Cash in concert. They were all great shows. I just don't follow country music, own any country music, or listen to it on the radio. I guess the vibe doesn't speak to me, but I appreciate the great performers.

We're going to expand your horizons!

If you like David Allan Coe and Hank Williams Sr. then you will probably like Townes Van Zandt. Maybe not. What about Robert Earle Kean? You can go see him play live in his hometown just NW of you in Kerrville all the time. Maybe some Willis Allan Ramsey? The Flatlanders, or their individual efforts as Joe Ely, Butch Hancock and Jimmy Dale Gilmore?

Ill check some of those out and I have heard some of Keans stuff but hes from Kerrvile The more you know

I think you'll like most of it. Try to find some Steve Earle too, as JimBob suggested; although, you might prefer his earlier stuff considering his politics are pretty far to the left and his more recent stiff is rather solidly political. His song Ellis Unit One will really hit you though. Don't let the politics turn you away from some great music.

Good rule of thumb

Depends on what you call country. Shania Twain sounds and looks great

So does LeAnn Rimes. Theres some really hot country women now days. Also old groups like the Everly Bros were sort of country. I also have to admit I love the country music show Nashville Star. Some really talented people there and the girl that one last time is another hottie.

She did a great version of Black Velvet on the show.

Gawain you ever put shania or leann in this thread agian I will find and... well I havent thought that far ahead yet but it will be uncomfortable

Gawain of Orkeny 08:23 09-03-2005

Hey I basicly hate country music. Its ggod old rock and roll ,blues and Jazz mostly for this oldman. At least these girls get me to listen to it. Hey I like Rebba and Bonnie Rait if thats country. Heck even the Allman Bros are too country for me. I was trying to be kind.

Besides how can you not like this?

Azi Tohak 09:51 09-03-2005

Yeah Rascal Flatts, Toby Keith, Alan Jackson, George Strait!

I love my country music. And no, I don't think the old joke is true (about what happens if you play a song in reverse).

And I do believe Country has the best looking women in US music
