Does anyone on here love country music?

[Rex]

I think I started a thread before about country music and it go zero responces lol. Is country music really unpopular with the gay community? It is one of my favorite kind of music.

Who else here is a country fan?

 

[frankfrank]

Well, for one thing, I missed the original thread, I didn't see it. I would have made at least some comment had I seen it.

I listen to country music along with many other genres from different eras and such. On my "mix tapes" (which are C-90 audio cassettes) I think there's an average of two country songs on each, possibly a little bit less than two...but, again, it includes all kinds of music. Besides country, it can be "golden oldies/rock and roll", soul, individual classical movements, rockabilly, spoken word, old commercials, punk, jazz, disco, [early] rap, sacred/spirituals/gospel, comedy and novelty, foreign (even from places such as Tibet, Ghana, Syria, Peru, Fiji, Panama, etc.), avant-garde, adult contemporary, classic rock...as long as it's "good" I like all of it.

I make my mix tapes TRULY "FREE FORM" with no emphasis on any genre of music (except, it coiuld be argued, there is probably a somewhat higher percentage of rock&roll, disco, and soul).

I should say that I like COUNTRY AND WESTERN - what I prefer is the really traditional stuff such as Hank [Williams, Thompson], George Strait, Hank Snow, Johnny Cash, etc. But people like Johnny Paycheck, Charley Pride, Olivia Newton-John, etc. are also in my taped files.

Like frankfrank, I like traditional country most, Hank Williams, Willy Nelson, et al.. Others like Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris.

These last few years I rarely listen to country, but I don't understand the animosity some have for it.

 

[AlmondMilk]

I sometimes like to listen to Johnny Cash, but that's pretty much it. I'd like to give more artists a chance and listen to them, though. Once in awhile I enjoy country-pop songs, but I doubt you'd want to name those in this thread.

There is so much pain, heartbreak, betrayal and angst in country music that I thought I should write a song.
I only have the first line so far, however. Here it is: "She broke my heart, I broke her jaw and now I'm hunted by the law". I can see guys and gals line dancing to it now.

I think it will be a hit.

 

[hotb0d]

I like the boys that sing country music. Does that count?

[Ninja108]

I like some country songs sung by Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers but by and large no.

What's considered pop-country?

I like artists like Brad Paisley, Blake Shelton, Kenny Chesney, Miranda Lambert.

Is pop country artists more like Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, etc.?

 

[Telstra]

Only very few country music is good like:

1/ Stand by your man - Tammy wynette
2/ the Carpenters ..
3/ some others i can't remember

The rest are just tiresome style of twiney music

 

[ShihTzuTylenol]

not a big pop fan at all....

I appreciate creativity and in my opinion art transcends all tags and labels.
Now, if you'll hand me my crayons I'll be glad to take your name...

Born & raised in Mississippi.. I love me country music.. but some people think I'm weird because I'm black tho.

 

[rareboy]

I do.

Especially the classic country music.

 

[cosmicblue]

I was raised on country music and have remained an avid follower, I love all sorts of country from traditional to country rock.. gimme a good ole country song any day.. although I do also listen to pop, and classical but country will always be my first love x

 

[GiacomoPisani]

no, i can't really stand it.

 

[Rubber Rat]

I like traditional country: Hank Williams, Kitty Wells, Johnny Cash, Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, Buck Owens, etc. I also like alt-county and cow-punk.

I'm not into the blonde barbie doll pop-country of today.

 

[Rubber Rat]

What's considered pop-country?

Faith Hill, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, etc. I don't like pop country at all.

 

[castoono]

My favourite kind of music. Being spaniard, this is odd, cause we have our own folkstyle that I find boring. I listen to k.d.lang always, Brenda Lee, Willie Nelson, Garth Brooks, Patsy Kline, Kenny Rogers, Kris Kristofferson

My fave:

Absolute Torch & Twang - k.d. Lang

 

[Rubber Rat]

One of my all-time favorite alt-country/cow-punk bands from the 1980s: Blood on the Saddle.
