It really does though.
Honestly, I'd rather listen to country music.

I'd rather have ice picks run through my eardrums than listen to either.
Country can be okay at times if they don't make it sound generic.

I like the "old" country western stuff, from when I was a kid (before electric cars but after electricity itself).
I like Patsy Cline, Ray Price, Glen Campbell, Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash, some Hank Williams, etc. Lately it's the same freaking song with everybody "scooping" the notes.
Now it's all about the beer and being a redneck.
sharePatsy Cline was incredible and her songs still resonate today. She was untouchable as a live performer too

Unbelievable live voice that sounds like it came from the recording studio

Yep. In the "old" days, pitch manipulation didn't exist so performers usually had either exceptional voices or exceptional vocal techniques or both. The ones that didn't could still sing on key and were pushed back in the mix a bit and a bit of reverb added, but I can't think of one of the old performers who weren't at least a bit professional vocally when performing live.
But even on a recording, they might have required several takes required, but without electronic correction, there is an honesty to the old analog recordings.
Yes if the listener doesn't like it.
shareI am willing to acknowledge that country music is actual music as opposed to rap, but I do have more rap songs in my collection than country songs. Country is basically to the US what Schlager is to Germany.
shareI can respect country music. Most people write their own songs and play their instruments. Most of it just sounds the same to me and there are too many songs about being a redneck who likes beer. Rap is absolute shit.
shareIF YOU HONESTLT THINK YOU CAN QUANTIFY AND REVIEW AN ENTIRE GENRE OF MUSIC WITH ONE WORD AND THAT WORD IS SHIT...GUESS WHAT YOU HAVE FOR BRAINS?💩
shareYou can quantify and amount of anything with one word. There are many kinds of apples but I describe them as delicious.
shareROAD APPLES TOO?
YOUR PROPOSITION HAS BEEN DEFEATED.
That doesn't mean all. If I say America voted for Biden, does that mean everyone voted for him?
share Rap is absolute shit.
SHORT,DUMB AND WRONG...GET OVER IT,WEIRDO.
It is. And it gets dated easily too.
shareTHERE YOU GO AGAIN...TAKING DECADES OF AN ENTIRE MUSICAL GENRE THAT ENCOMPASSES MULTIPLE STYLES AND VARIATONS AND INSISTING IT IS ALL IDENTICAL IN SOUND AND QUALITY.
shareI don't know what passes for Rap today but historically as long as the message was positive and/or valid it was OK in my book. Some people may not realize this but country music has evolved from what was seen on Hee Haw back in the 1970's. Either way not all styles are going to appeal to all people.
shareI like country if there is some rock infused in it like Creedence Clearwater Revival.
share🤣
shareAre you laughing at CCR?
shareI AM LAUGHING AT YOU THINKING CCR IS COUNTRY ROCK...YOU WANT COUNTRY ROCK?...THINK MORE ALONG THE LINES OF THE CHARLIE DANIELS BAND OR DRIVE-BY TRUCKERS.
shareFrom CCR's wikipedia:
Genres: Swamp rock - roots rock - blues rock
country rock - Southern rock
WIKIPEDIA IS OFTEN WRONG...AS ARE YOU...THIS TOPIC INCLUDED.

CCR is not country...........
Well played, samoanjoes.
shareSince moving to Texas I've become more fond of country music, but rap is still one of my favorite genres of music. There is no shortage of bad rap music, at least to my ear, but there is a wealth of brilliant hip hop out there if you're open-minded and willing to listen.
shareI had a phase where I tried and did every decade. I just can't stand it. Only individual songs are okay.
sharei don't like having to live in world where it's the most dominant culture. i wish something else would come along.
shareI feel the same way about Rock music.
shareRock music isn't dominant.
shareNot like it used to be
shareIt should be more dominant. I think it's the most diverse genre and one of the few genres where people use actual instruments instead of using a board to make all the sounds.
shareCLASSICAL SOUNDS LIKE THE GENRE FOR YOU IN THAT CASE.
shareIt's okay but wouldn't want to listen to it all the time. But rock is all instrumentation too.
shareA LOT OF ROCK IS A THREE CORD BUFFET.
shareHard rock, psychedelic rock, grunge, punk ,blues rock, metal, folk, instrumental, surf rock, industrial, progressive, alternative, indie, glam, new wave, soft rock, jazz fusion, occult, stoner, gothic, art rock, acid rock and space rock. I don't see how most of them have three chords and isn't diverse.
sharemaking up a load of meaningless sub genres doesent make a genre better or more diverse,
Otherwise dance music would win
It just makes people argue over terms.
i understand your point.
