Music is music.  And good music is good while bad music is bad.  What one wants to label it is another matter and not always so clear cut.  There have been plenty of country hits that were written by people who were the furthest thing from country music.  One example Willie Nelson had a hit with "Blue Skies", and that song was written by Irving Berlin who was the furthest thing you can get from country music.  There are many other examples also.  Elvis had a pop hit, "It's Now or Never", and that was the Italian folk song tune "O Sole Mio" with English lyrics.  So labeling something "country", "pop", or anything else isn't always exactly accurate.

With that said, modern day music, be it country, pop, rock, rap, etc. is quite atrocious.  Doesn't hold a candle to ANY music of the past.

Got to get you to "sample the dial" more. Hop on over to the Turbo, Octane, Hair Nation, Boneyard, Liquid Metal, or Lithium channels.

You know, the sweet spot on the Sirius/XM dial...:party:

What kinda  stuff you talkin' bout, Jerry ??.....<<grin>>...

Most guys here prob have quite a range of music.  Everything from Waylon to Merle Haggard and anything in between.  Lol. And I am in that old school country boot too a lot of times.  But there is some new stuff out there that is pretty good just gotta be open a bit to try it.  I even like Alicia Keys I have to admit....  A great talent.  But I am 90 percent country for sure.

I enjoy everything from  death metal to willie, Waylon , Johnny , David Allen Coe , Jimmy Hendrix , Deep Purple, Black Sabbath.

ive met and got autographs from Shania Twain , Alan Jackson , Willie Nelson ,Rascal Flats and on and on ,But today I have no taste for what’s out on the pop country stations .

Dale Watson,  BR549, Hank III, Aaron Watson, Steve Earle  Drive by truckers  , Two Dollar Pistols, Asleep At The Wheel, The Derailers , to name a few are the country artist I enjoy today.

Alison Krauss cant sing?  How about George Straight?    G man, these people can sing.

George straight is old counrty .. again a versiin because white man cant play the blues...Most are not singing country  ..they have very limited range. And 90% of country songs like blues are talking.. not singing.

The artist today is picked because they look good .. songs are written in mass in Nashville for an artist.. there is no attachment to the song from them they just"sing it" now before you say well SO and so write their own music some do... but its really in more of rarity these days.. and the few that do seem to have a crossover into pop as they don't fit the Nashville narrative and are almost spurred by them

I listen to big band thru the early 90s alternative and hip hop.. a few songs in the 2000s but those are from bands established in the 80s 90s or 70 or even 60s.. todays mass produced music is bad.. the hey day by far was the 60's thru the 90s..  heck I even lisent to some stuff from the 1900 to 1920s.. can't beat some ledbelly on wax cylinders.. still better than the crap coming out today

I like John Fogerty but a lot of his songs have repetitious Lyrics which is annoying .  

That's called the chorus Eddie, and is usually repeated several times throughout a song. lol j/k
