I love it. Especially the ones from the 80's and 90's. My favorite country song is "I'm Going to be Somebody"- Travis Tritt.
 
Mmm, I agree. I like quite a few 80's / 90's songs. Most of them are Clint Black songs. I LOVE A Good Run of Bad Luck, Killing Time, and many more from him. Plus John Michael Montgomery, Sold; Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton Islands in the Stream; many more.
 
Stylistically, it's quite alright. What really bugs me though is how commercial 99% of modern country music is, which is why I don't place very high value in it.

You mean commercials. Yeah their annoying I listen to Country, I don't buy it. But Gospel music is even worst. All I see is Gospel commercials.
 
YES.

You have dialed my number. :D

I grew up listening to this stuff and I absolutely love it. As long as it's not the really old, really twangy stuff but even then I like some of it. :D

I'm a particular fan of anything done past 1992, though, mostly because I'm most familiar with it. :D
 
Heh, I don't mean commercial advertisements. I mean commercialism... A lot of major country labels are really only in it for the money. It's worse than the pop music world in a lot of ways. Of course, there are a notable list of exceptions, but still.

My personal favorite country acts are Jypsi, Sugarland (my guilty pleasure), and Halfway to Hazard.
 
Shania Twain is my personal favorite artist of the genre. She sings empowering songs and was a rags to riches woman. She was also the first true country/pop crossover artist.
 
Seriously, who DOESN'T like Sugarland? I got tickets to see them in September actually. :D

Hmm, I'm not sure I follow, Auroraking. Maybe the record companies are, but most country singers I don't believe are.

Gosh, I've become obsessed with Don't Do Me No Good, Gretchen Wilson's new song. :D Love it.
 
There are a few country songs that I can enjoy, but as a whole I dislike the genre. I don't like the "country twang" sound in singers' voices, I'm not particularly fond of some of the instruments used in country music, etc.
 
My sister really likes the Dixie Chicks, so I've heard and quite enjoy a lot of their stuff. Goodbye Earl is one of the best things ever. Long Time Gone's pretty good, too.

Applies to me as well. Don't really like country music, yeah.
 
I simply can not listen to country. Some of it isn't bad, like with most things, but I still can't stand it.
 
I don't care much about country. My twin friends really dig it, though, especially commercial country. :/ It's annoying because they're always like "listen to 'I can sleep when I'm dead'" and "listen to 'Stealing Cinderella'" and "listen to 'I'm still a guy'". Argh. I don't care what kind of music you like but when I say I dislike a genre and you continue to force it on me, I don't become happy.
 
That is entirely true. There are a few genres I say I don't like, but I can't fully say that I hate them because they do dish out a few good songs. You might have liked some of those songs.
