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


I seriously can’t think of anything worse. I grew up listening to country music in the late 80s and early 90s, and a lot of that was pretty bad. But this new stuff, yikes.

Who sees some pretty boy on a stage with a badly exaggerated generic southern accent and a 600 dollar denim jacket shoehorning the words “ice cold beer” into every third line of a song and says “Ooh I like this, this music is for me!”

I would literally rather listen to anything else.Seriously, there’s nothing I can think of, at least not in my lifetime or the hundred or so years of recorded music I own, that seems worse.

Bhagal  you don’t know talent Period.

The late great Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins Roy Clark, John Denver, Chet Atkins           Charlie Pride, just  to name a few not including country Rock which is another total Great category. country music is all about reliving a story through music . If you want to speak ignorance  then there is audio science  forum that you would meld right into perfectly !!

I don't insult here, at least that is never my intention. You would have to be pretty lame to insult anyone on any kind of blogs. I guess so many people do it that you immediately went there. Sad state of affair on the blogosphere...

@audioman58 I really like the Cash/Rick Rubin "American" series. II was Tom and the Heartbreakers as I am sure you know - and the production values are quite good.

@baylinor I think you may have misunderstood my post. I said I respect that you don't like country music...and to clarify - I was presuming that you don't insult people that do. It was intended as a compliment not an insult by any means.
