Guitar11guy	Date: December 20, 2001 @ 3:42 PM hey man, i just started this thing and i have no clue how to do anything, i heard about it from my friend at school and he said that i can get sweet music here, so if you will hook me up with music that would be decent
xork	Date: December 22, 2001 @ 5:37 PM How come no one likes country?
milladrive	Date: December 22, 2001 @ 7:08 PM Why don't'cha just come out and tell out what'cha like? Listen, I've got no problem w/people lovin' their particular favorite musical genres. It's just that my ass gets completely chapped when someone claims to like "pretty much" all music, but makes it a distinct point to lambast one particular genre that they don't much care for. Get some perspective, will ya. Go listen to the popular music of the Middle or Far East and then tell us then how much you wanna single out American country as the 1 type of music you wanna make an exception of. Oh, I'm bored by this. Can I be your friend? ;)" id="1775">I know, ya know what, I was just thinkin' that (that's ok, I'll take it from here). What, does country music contain notes that aren't found in other genres of music??? I'm soooooo sick of hearin' people spout out their ass how they like ALLLLL music. ...but country. Would it make it easier for any of you music lovers if they lost the cowboy hats and instilled less twang in the productions???? Sump'm tells me not. How cool wouldja be w/all your peeps "under 30" if ya didn't add that dopey disclaimer?? Why don't'cha just come out and tell out what'cha like?

xhead	Date: January 7, 2002 @ 9:25 PM some people get angry by the stupidest shit..
milladrive	Date: January 8, 2002 @ 12:20 PM xhead: Who said I was angry?" id="1997">haha.. Yes, you are. jk I am too. ..the windbag club. lol Geez, I'd thought this thread had died a pleasant death. I've read what'chu've written here and I definitely can feel where you're at. I agree w/a good deal of it. n4n, most country music bored me to tears for most of my life (and I didn't _have_ rap or hardcore to drop it below). It wasn't till relatively recently that I began to look around and see that it's one of the only places left w/any semblance of real adult contemporary rock'n'roll. Maybe Garth had sump'm to do w/it, but i feel country kinda transformed itself in the 90's. The genre is now much more accepting of influences that for decades it would shun. I think it hasn't been this exciting since the Everlys, Holly, Presley, Lewis, and Cash were pushin' the parameters. To say there is little creativity in the music or words (especially the words) is simply groundless. If you mean there's been a slower more deliberate evolution of the genre over the years, then I'll accept your meaning. Creativity is highly subjective. Sy, I grew up listening to rock (AOR) and classic rock (much of which wasn't classic until it wasn't current anymore). Many of us here know who my favorite artists are and know that my favorite country artists aren't even close to reaching my top 5. Do you really feel I would fall for a form of music in which creativity was a rarity? I promise to not list any country songs you should go listen to. I'd prefer givin' you a list of some classic rock to check out. I know you appreciate the classics. The Who: "Squeeze Box"; Led Zeppelin: "Hot Dog"; The Beatles: "Act Naturally," "I've Just Seen A Face," "I Will," and others; Elton John: anything from _Tumbleweed Connection_; Eric Clapton: too many to mention; pick a few from Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, Steve Miller, Allman Brothers, Jim Croce, or James Taylor; just about anything by the Eagles. Mm, maybe the list'd be too tedious to complete. I guess the trick is to create a country song but to label it rock. My point here is only that soooo many of the influences that I grew up on and love are now wholly ingrained in the country genre. I feel there's now enuff diversity within it to keep me interested, and sometimes the only distinction I can make between the rock I love and contemporary country is the extra twang in the vocals and production. Maybe one day you'll see what I mean; maybe not. xhead: Who said I was angry?
xhead	Date: January 8, 2002 @ 4:57 PM sorry i guess i assumed it.
princess-angry	Date: January 8, 2002 @ 8:54 PM I love music.
muskegon	Date: January 11, 2002 @ 9:11 PM Milladrive, You forgot to mention Lynard Skynard. How country can you get? It was called country-rock but I have heard it said that all rock(and roll) came from country music originally anyway. Judging by 50's rock and roll I can believe it. Johnny B. Goode is about a country boy guitar player and is in the country song story telling style just maybe a little quicker beat than the country songs of the day.
PoorUnfortun...	Date: January 12, 2002 @ 9:25 AM Weird how Garth Brooks is so popular, yet I never met anyone above the Mason Dixon line who would admit to liking country music. I personally like some older stuff, its mellow and relaxing, but shhh, dont tell anybody Same thing goes for blues, another close country relative. I never had anyone ask me to turn down a Stevie Ray cd in the car, or ask to borrow it for that matter. Of course, when afroman comes on the radio, they reach for the seek button faster than Bruce Lee. ....and he was on the charts, go figure.
Jas77	Date: January 12, 2002 @ 10:49 AM Hello, i need help , who does it work?
milladrive	Date: January 12, 2002 @ 11:33 AM Too much crossover labelling goes on now, if ya ask me. Everybody needs to put some sorta "tag" on each and every song or, worse yet, every artist. Believe me, if Stevie Ray were to've been put in the country bin, he wouldn't be nearly so "cool." If John Popper wore a big hat and overalls, he'd be sooo viewed as a country-based artist. I think music is music, and production is a whole separate affair. Now 'scuse me while I go listen to some Hank Williams, Sr. :)" id="2053">PoorSoul, I am pleased to announce that you've just met someone livin' north of the Line who's not ashamed to admit it. I live in metro NYC, too, so I'm a _real_ anomaly. You're right, Musk, I did neglect Lynyrd Skynyrd, as well as Daniels, Tucker, Molly Hatchet, etc. ..but the list was gettin' kinda long and I thought the point'd been made as far back as Zeppelin. You're both absolutely correct about rock originally evolving from a unique mix of country and r&b. It got so that the "classifiers" of the world had real difficulty labelling them. I mean, in the perspective of the day, whaddaya call Elvis' "All Shook Up" or the Everly's "All I Have To Do Is Dream?" Country or r&b?? They both hit #1 on both charts as well as pop on both sides of the Atlantic, so that doesn't help. "Johnny B. Goode" was indeed a good example as well.

Yianaki	Date: January 16, 2002 @ 3:05 PM I like everything cept county because of all those slide guitars. And the lyrics sound all the same. I dunno why. I live in philly and some rapper saying he doesn’t have any money is better than some country musician. Just my strange opinion. By the way everything in the record store that you find not under country but related to country (folk, blues..), I like. Also I would rather listen to middle eastern music than country. They usually have a nice beat and no slide guitars. Oh and finally I really like classic pre 60’s country too. It is rather good. I think everyone should give it a listen. They don’t seem fake but current wanna be rock country musicians are. I think that country music today is all about being from the country and all the good moral and civic values it instills. Oh and if you are an American you should go see the grand ole opry it is really a nice place to visit.
Frawgster	Date: January 16, 2002 @ 3:45 PM Just last night, I discovered what I think is the perfect setting for good country music. A large, fairly crowded pool hall. Me with my cue in one hand and a bottle of Shiner Bock in the other. Perfection...
TheRidge	Date: January 19, 2002 @ 3:59 AM the only good thing about live country music is seeing blokes too pissed to shout the word YEEHAA.
milladrive	Date: January 19, 2002 @ 10:48 AM Frawg, ya forgot to add the part about southern Texas. If ya put that very same pool hall here, it just... doesn't do the same thing for me. hih
Frawgster	Date: January 19, 2002 @ 2:58 PM Excellent point...that setting wouldn't really have the same effect on someone in, say, Delaware or something.
TheRidge	Date: January 19, 2002 @ 4:47 PM Well how would I know??? I'm AUSTRALIAN
TheRidge	Date: January 19, 2002 @ 4:48 PM They are all out to get me!
wattzz	Date: February 3, 2002 @ 10:02 PM music is good.. except for country
mtbatol	Date: February 5, 2002 @ 1:33 AM WoW.. more people dissing country then rap/hip-hop?? I'm.. i'm.. i'm touched
milladrive	Date: February 5, 2002 @ 12:30 PM aeh, he (or she) is just tryin' to get my goat.
stretchman	Date: February 22, 2002 @ 4:31 PM am i like the youngest person here? im into weezer, system of a down, rammstein, deftones, and any other hard rock band you can think of...although i do listen to some old-school every once and a while

forrix	Date: February 23, 2002 @ 2:16 AM :/" id="3719">i go through country phases - about 3-4x/year i'll listen to country for about a month... i like hearing the new stuff, but the country songs that i can repetatively listen to are few & far between. life just wouldn't be complete without country music!! i mean, c'mon.. in what other genre can you get away with singing "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" ???? :/
forrix	Date: February 23, 2002 @ 2:17 AM well!! egg on my face for that failed emoticon... :\
forrix	Date: February 23, 2002 @ 2:18 AM damn!%#@@#$@! i'm gonna stop now
milladrive	Date: February 23, 2002 @ 11:27 AM lmao (..the slashes seem to throw things off) ...and you seem to have a healthy musical attitude.
mtbatol	Date: February 24, 2002 @ 2:26 AM "She thinks my tractor's sexy, i'm drivin around on it lik how a pimp be.. please don't hate me" hey it can work out to be somethin that some hillbilly rapper lik bubba sparx may say
cype	Date: February 24, 2002 @ 10:48 PM im such a good friend.
mtbatol	Date: February 24, 2002 @ 10:58 PM well if you are then gimmie back my 10 bucks dag nabbit!!!!
oat	Date: March 12, 2002 @ 9:16 AM Limiting what you listen to is just that "limiting" traditional music is the beginning of all forms, where would hip hop be without the early work of King Tubby and Lee Scratch Perry? Musical bloodlines are easy to follow if you look. There's crap in every genre and there are gems, keep an open mind and ear life is to short to deny art.
richieZ	Date: March 12, 2002 @ 3:50 PM hmm... i like all good music. good is determined by me and my opinions about what makes a musician talented and what makes a song sound good. my opinions probably differ from yours. heh.
richieZ	Date: March 12, 2002 @ 3:51 PM play me a good song from any genre enough, and i will like it. i was never really into techno, house, and trance music till i moved to utah. now i really like it. i grew up not liking rap and r&b, and now i listen to it a lot.
richieZ	Date: March 12, 2002 @ 3:51 PM I did grow up listening to country. i do like a lot of country music. i once owned all of garth brooks cd's. heh. i dont listen to it too much anymore, but who knows the country phase might come back (i doubt it)
richieZ	Date: March 12, 2002 @ 3:52 PM Alternative Rock and Classic Rock is what i listen to most id say... though i wont pass up the beats to a bumpin rap or hip hop song.....
richieZ	Date: March 12, 2002 @ 3:56 PM if you want to hear some good hip hop... Black Eye Peas Digable Planets Styles of Beyond Smith & Wesson

princess-angry	Date: March 16, 2002 @ 6:13 PM I love dance music!!!!!!
Cryxan	Date: March 17, 2002 @ 4:34 PM As for country, I like Reba, Dolly and most of the classic country. The twang only bothers me in the male artists for some reason. It just sounds like they're trying too hard. I don't like metal (it's noise, not music) and rap (very little talent, even less melody). Most jazz, too--sounds too disorganized. Just my opinion." id="5556">I get turned off by some artists attitudes. Instead of the "I'm here to bring some music to you," it's the "You listen here 'cause I'm cool" attitude. This is especially prevalent among the latest wave of Cobain wannabes. (In videos, they'll look at the camera with this disgusted look on their face like they wanna tell you that they're above you.)
