Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time

Thank you @bdp24 and others for making something worthwhile out of nothing with this thread.

Rosanne Cash’s latest(2014 & 2018) Blue Note releases are a good place to start for anybody looking for good Country rooted music, Jason Isbell would be another artist at the top of my list.

Austin City Limits has Adia Victoria and Brandi Carlile two artists who will be my next big music purchases.

Ken Burns Country and Jazz docs are worth the time and effort or at least they are for me...

Personally I will take what the OP @bhagal has described as worst music genre ever, modern Country music, over with my least favorite music genre any day and everyday. Antebellum Southern romanticism themed Country music and the symbolism that comes with is at the bottom my list and is tied at the bottom with repeat a derogatory word over and over Rap music. Death Metal is a solid second place holder for me, a little kindling to keep this "dumpster" fire going.

Yep, disposable music tends to be bad.

@moonwatcher     Opera is a form of theater with the vocalist playing the acting role by singing. Not understanding Italian, German or any other language is not a valid excuse to avoid opera. How many out there know every word to many classic rock songs that have been heard a thousand times over? Over time you pick up nuances/words of different languages and there are plenty of liner notes with opera recordings. Lastly the most important aspect of opera is singing at the highest level a human being can achieve. My apologies to the OP for going off topic but the ill-conceived comment demanded a reply.

What happened to the OP here? No response to any comments made- just threw the grenade and ran. This seems like that recent REM thread.

Wow …a brand new member who joined yesterday, and this is a caustic and arguably offensive first post that is just a heavily biased and misguided personal rant ,…= an internet troll substituting normal polite forum conduct with insults.

don’t feed the troll.

too bad that the AGON blocking feature doesn’t include the forum posts yet.

Classic one up trollmanship…..

Nice going!!

And I agree with the original poster (OP). Todays country by male singers all sounds alike. I can’t tell them apart by their music. And it’s awful with very few redeeming qualities. When I listen to country music, I listen to Classic Country, exclusively.
