About 85% of the time, I agree.

Good, I was hooked for a couple of months when I started dating my girlfriend. Then I realized what real music was... and it doesn't talk about losing your [girlfriend/dog/house].

Hardcore for life!

I only like classic country, for the most part. Cline, Cash, Jennings, Williams sr and jr, Daniels, Nelson, a few others. For modern, I can only think of Dixie Chicks and Toby Keith.

It's hard to blanket the new age of country stars, since few of them write their own songs, so you cant put anyone into a certain 'group', as what they sing doesnt equal what they feel/think.

I actually like Big & Rich, although they are a far cry from the traditional country music i prefer/generally listen to.
At least they have their names on the songwriter line of the album. Same as i like Alan. Toby is a semi-songwriter, but he presents it well, and i like his style. George is great, he's a singer, not a songwriter, but he sings Chris Ledoux songs like they are his own, he's the only country singer on the main stage who can handle a cow horse, a Classic rope, and a jumping steer.

The Tim/Faith/Kenny country is just pre-formed hit garbage, i can't stand to listen to it. Kenny is better that the others, but his songs often turn me off after 2-3 listenings. If i want to listen to Jimmy Buffett, I'll listen to Jimmy Buffett.

Personally, i listen to alot of Texas singers, Cory Morrow, Pat Green, Dub Miller, Rodney Creager, et. al., as well as Shooter and Hank III,, thats more country than the Tim/Faith crap we're subjected to on the radio

I like country music but I listen to all kinds of music my sister has taken me to see Toby several times. Kenny is coming to concert here on Saturday. I think Kenny's songs all sound the same anymore.

92% of all country sounds the same. If you could hear my impression, you'd laugh.

When the geniuses who run country music decided they couldn't find room for The Mavericks, I decided I couldn't find room for country music anymore.
