Yeah I know, but for some reason I can relate to it more than, say, Lincoln Park screaming madly about how they're about to break because they're one step closer to the edge. :roll:

Most new country makes me want to dig my eyes out.
Every now and then a song comes along that grabs me. My wife is a die hard country music lover, and she's even grown tired of the lack of originality.
I enjoy Hank Jr., Willy and some old bluegrass.
In new stuff, I enjoyed My Maria-Brooks and Dunn and Should Have Been a Cowboy-Toby Keith. Those two tunes showed some originality and even some talent. 🙂

I have been forced to listen to country music throughout junor high and high school and I have grown to hate it so very much. Its instrumentally un-original, dumbed down lyrics, no bass just treble and that super annoying twang sound (you know what I am talking about), most of the singers are not so swift in the head, reoccurring theme in songs, etc... I'm sorry but country is right up there in terms of horrible music with Emo.
I think a helluva lot more people would listen to country music if they didn't hear one annoying song, and automatically categorize all other country music with that one song they didn't like. I find country music very inspirational at times, has some of the best messages found in any genre of music (Garth Brooks - "The Dance" for example), and you won't find any superstars, ala Britney, that are only famous because they are hot, and don't have vocal talent. And there are lots of country songs I do NOT like, even from artists I really enjoy, just the same way you won't like every pop song on a radio station either.
If you don't like vocals in music, and you have to have bass to enjoy music, then country is perhaps not for you. But if you give country an honest chance, listen to female/male artists, and a bunch of songs, I'd bet it'd be hard to find someone that couldn't at least find a few "country" songs they enjoyed. Though there are always those types that only like ONE type of music, like metal, rap, etc. I myself like almost everything to some extent, some more than others.
I'll add, that I think country music has a stigma attached to it (which I bought into it when I was younger, and just look at the first post by the OP) that it's not hip to listen to (though nowhere near as much as it used to), and that it's a bunch of illiterate hicks with missing teeth writing/singing the music. I'm sure there's a few of them, but most of them are talented artists deserving of admiration for their abilities. Most all of em seem like nice people too, not that that has anything to do why I enjoy the music though.

Country music is...ok. I don't listen to it myself though. At least it's actually music unlike most rap.

The most common thing I hear form country fans is "At least its not like <insert generic type of music or band here>"
Please. There are more types of music then "rock" or "rap". Jesus people, get some taste in music and expand your horizons.
Generalize all other music much?

Smooth jazz? SMOOTH JAZZ? 😕 You really don't have room to talk bad about a musical genre there, kido.
As for country, yes there is a lot of good stuff out there. Pop country sucks super monkey balls, but "Pop" anything these days is utter crap. I would suggest getting into "Americana," it's new country/folk with an alternative edge. Download then buy a Gillian Welch cd.

id expect nothing less from a yankees fan
Toby Keith is a fantastic singer and what's wrong with being Patriotic? Some how I don't think France's or this "world's" opinion is based upon what Toby Keith sings. Do you really think they are as shallow as you? I would think most people form opinions based on what the military does or what the polititian's say and not what a country singer sings.
