LoveinVainRonnie I prefer Rock...Some country can be good.

I can't stand most southern rock though.

WTF? It sounds like a Right Said Fred song with some country-fried yahoo on vocals. Country is such an easy thing to acheive these days. If Bon Jovi can add a fiddle or pedal steel guitar and be country, anyone can. Stones should have Mick sing every song in his silly southern accent or let the pedal steel and fiddle be on every song. Then they'd sell more records considering country is the biggest commercial force in U.S. record sales. But I agree, mainstream rock is dominated by emo shit or some pussy-ass band with grungey guitars like Nickleback, but that's maybe a step up over some of the country I've heard.

What a dead artistic genre. Country was interesting at times over the years and there was this new cosmopolitan neo-tradition thing going with people like Dwight Yoakham and new faces like Randy Travis, Lyle Lovett, Roseanne Cash, etc. But now, these people would play their old music and it would be considered fringe country and uncommercial by those greedy fuckers running the record companies. Johnny Cash would never become a country music star today. He'd be called folk or bluegrass or traditional Americana or whatever.
