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...
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.

@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. |
Music is terribly personal. I'm not into country music but I know there are genres I like less. So I don't listen to them I had a friend, Bud Fried(Irving M Fried who was the name sake of IMF speakers and later Fried speakers. Bud only listened to classical music, of which opera was his greatest form, of which Wagner and the Ring operas were the highest musical form of all time. I loved folk music. He called it tinkle music. Think of all the great music, pop, blues, jazz, folk, world music he deprived himself of without even giving it a chance. |
