Hahaha and i thought i was being cool and trendy!

Do you not find alot of American country is like bible bashing to an extent? I definitely prefer ours. Well for the short period I was listening to it

End of an era!

How about Motown then?

Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard were great buddies and if you get a chance look at their recording of ‘It’s all going to pot’ on YouTube. Looking like they smoking pot and having a ball. Also Willie’s wearing a top with the words Irish Pub on it.

Wrote his first song at age seven. Joined his first band at age ten. Has released 71 studio albums .... the latest was earlier this year at the age of 88 .... what a rebel and what a legend.

RAP isn't music, surely it can't be classed as music, instruments required at a minimum. It's just dribbling over a microphone, awful awful stuff.

Depends what you define as country. Some modern takes are widely commercial eg. early Kings of Leon.. I'm a big fan of Ryan Adams and Nathaniel Ratliffe and I'm pretty sure they fall under the same...

I like the nursery rhyme analogy, very true in many cases. They both have boring monotonous rhythms attached

OP I don't know what you mean by Country music. There are whole genres that fall under that. A few years ago I would have said I hated it but there's some that has been the greatest musical influence in my life since then. Check out Towns Van Zandt, Guy Clarke and John Prime. I suspect you're a muso!?

Depends what you mean by country. I wouldnt include Daniel O'Donnell or any of that northern / border county muck in the category. I could suggest Iris De Ment as a good place to start, or to an extent Kate and Anna McGarrigle, although the latter are more folk. EmmyLou Harris' album, Red Dirt Girl, is great even if you dont like country. For me you have to be American, its their music, the rest are just imitators.

The TV show Archer released a surprisingly descent Country album a few years back called Cherlene, accompanying the 5th season.

I expected it to be a comedy album, but its not, it's just a stand alone amazing Country album.
