The music I like is what I like. I dont care if anyone tells me its great or terrible.
I like many of the rush and the beatles songs too but not all. Still good bands all the way around!
Very well put! I'm not really one to love or hate a genre or a band. I love some songs from bands which otherwise are useless, I hate some songs from bands which I otherwise love, and I've never encountered a genre which didn't have at least one or two songs I liked.
country however could curl up and die for all I care! Reallly! Its the only type of music that just does not sit well with me. I just dont care for the sound, the lyrics, the tempo, or the fake drawl of the singers. Randy Travis is a fair actor and I Will watch any show or movie he is in but when he sings I just want to smack him with a shovel until he quits!
I think you're talking about "New Country". Bleah. Mostly crap. Then again it's essentially what I think of as Wal-Mart Pop--usually just generic pablum. There are a couple of New Country tunes I like (a couple of Dixie Chicks tunes are good, like "Goodbye Earl"). But if I'm looking for good country I usually go back to the classics and say away from anyone wearing a clean black Stetson. If you want good country, you need dirty, drunk, and depressed.
