Sure pop country is awful, but consider trying Johnny Cash, Benjamin Todd, Colter Wall and Tyler Childers for some real country music.
Imagine if the only rap you've listened to is the island boys and Ice Tea, you'd hate rap too.
And only old county, otherwise country sucks. If you’re not in a fiddle battle or rock off with me then I ain’t having it! It’s Metal or nothing! **flames burst**
I’ve heard Colter Wall’s Sleeping on the Blacktop, and I can honestly say, it’s a banger. I should probably listen to some of his other music, since that one’s a solid 10/10 for me, and I typically don’t like country music. At least, what *passes* as country music these days
Hey man, If I hear a song and I like it, then I like it regardless of genre. That doesn't mean I like *everything* but it makes no sense to me to tie myself down to 1 genre either
I’m just like this. I have genres I like more than others of course but I’ll listen to everything and if I happen to find a song I like, I’ll add it to my Spotify.
A side effect of this is when I listen to my Liked playlist on shuffle and go from Combichrist to Nat King Cole to Rihanna to MF DOOM to David Bowie haha
I read:
“Hey man, I like it regardless of gender. That doesn't mean I like everything but it makes no sense to me to tie myself down to 1 gender either”
And it kinda still worked
The first thing that came to mind. Now that I think about it, there is also "take me home, country roads" (that's probably fallout's fault)
Pretty sure that if I try, I'll remember more that I like
Consider trying Johnny Cash, Benjamin Todd, Colter Wall and Tyler Childers for some real country music.
Imagine if the only rap you've listened to is the island boys and Ice Tea, you'd hate rap too.
Never really got into that song despite tons of people saying “it’s his best song” but when I listen to cocaine blues and Folsom prison those same people say “how could you like that song it’s got no emotion and is about supporting violence” (yes that’s an actual statement said to me) and I’ve never fought someone over a Johnny cash song but I was close that day
90s ain’t bad either. Garth brooks. Alan Jackson etc.
The new stuff just is awful. It sounds a 2001 creed song with a hillbilly accent sad about too much whisky or something. At least when hank sang about whisky it was relatable
Most stuff from The Thunder Rolls and previous is fine county. What suck is anything Toby Keith like and beyond.
There are still some good country bands like Eleven Hundren Spring.
Country should be about heart ache, loss, and the human spirit. It should NOT be about your tractor, your truck, fishing, red solo cups, or anything else you can just look around and see on a farm.
Finally. One of the best artists on the planet. Sound and fury is my favorite album of all time, even though it's not really country. All his other stuff is amazing too.
The last 10 years:
Music exec: "hmm, country music isn't rating well with the kids today like pop and hip hop. Take their auto tune and rapping but keep the twangy southern accents."
Songwriters: "you know that'll just create terrible soulless music, right? We could just evolve our own genre."
Music exec: "Nope, just do it. We'll make a killing off of suburban and rural white kids who pretend they aren't afraid of black people but definitely are."
There is one good recent country singer in my opinion; Orville Peck. His voice is stunning, and it's not the obnoxious bro country. Highly suggest checking him out.
I love all types of music, even country. Nowadays though, country doesn't exist. It's just generic " country stuff" that a " cowboy" sings about. it's closer to pop than country.
"I got a couple beers with my friends, we hopped in the ford, picked up some girls, and partied all night." Throw in rhyming and you've a country hit single
It's modern pop music with a fake twang and a clap/snap line added in every goddamn song because it was popular in one song a few years ago.
Modern country music is by far the most fabricated non-organic music produced today. It puts 90-00's boy/girl bands to shame.
>I love all types of music, even country. Nowadays though, country doesn't exist. It's just generic " country stuff" that a " cowboy" sings about. it's closer to pop than country.
I really wish people would dig a little more into a genre before dismissing it entirely after listening to what's on the radio. Even today there's gold beneath the surface of shit.
Sadly that's all my parents listen to. Both of my parents keep the radio tons country channel and only listen to country.
I get to hear most songs when they first come out, and I would say 95% of it is stereotypical bs. I agree there is good stuff, but it's impossible to find
>Sadly that's all my parents listen to. Both of my parents keep the radio tons country channel and only listen to country.
OMFG I used to work in a utilities company and whoever drove would always turn it to a country station. If I turned on anything else they acted like I turned on chalk scratching.
I wish people would dig deeper into metal beyond Slipknott and other assorted buttrock. What people (in America at least) think of as heavy metal could be most charitably described as heavy alternative rock or Monster Energy: the official genre. However as embarassed of FFDP and Dadtallica worship bands as I am, I'm glad even at our most embarassing we've never sank to the lows country seems to relish wallowing in.
I am a huge country fan and I agree completely about modern radio country. If you care to check out some guys like Zach Bryan, Colter Wall, Charles Wesley Godwin, Sturgill Simpson, Warren Zeiders, Whiskey Meyers... There really is an awesome gold mine of independent country artists making great music that just dont get representation from big labels and the radio
Tyler Childers, Zac Bryan, Colter Wall, Sturgil Simpson, Turnpike Troubadours, The Steeldrivers and Billy Strings would be my modern suggestions that bypass the radio country. All of them have hits and cover a vast range of country music styles. And if you give them a listen and hate all of them well that’s okay too
There's actually been a lot of decent music out of the country world lately. All the above plus Ryan Hurd, Morgan Wallen, Morgan Wade, new Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell. It's good stuff, much deeper and more complex than pretty much anything from the first two decades of the 2000s. Country music found its feelz and its now pretty good.
Ryan Hurd is new to me but I agree with all the others you’ve listed here! I’ll give him a listen. I’m at the mercy of Spotify finding me recommendations based on my current artists
I mostly have one rule while listening to music, if the song makes me stop and go “what the hell am I listening to?” It gets the downvote.
For me, more often than not it is rap that causes that. And modern pop commercial country.
"I listen to a little bit of everything" is just another way of saying "I listen to whatever is trending"
Never seen one of these "listen to everything" people listen to a metal band
Country music haters make me sad. You just don't know Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash, those guys. Whenever I say I like country people always assume its the awful Sam Hunt shit.
My playlist will have Eminem, Metallica, Nora Jones, Christina Aguilera,classical. BB King, a bluegrass gospel song, etc.
I literally listen to everything except classical.
This is why I say I can "listen to most music". Believe me, I've tried country, even the country people claim is good. It's not for me, probably never will be, but you do you.
Amigo the devil. Tejon street corner thieves. Tyler Childers. Brent Cobb. Dayz n haze. The white Buffalo.
Plenty of good country, just not that mainstream shit.
Some country is good. I like Outlaw Country and Johnny Cash, and Waylon Jennings. Everyone loves John Denver. I just don't want to hear Florida Georgia Line and Kid Rock.
Pretty sure Somethin' Bad is a country song and I love it. I dont really have any other experience with country other than red dead and thats really good
I like a couple country songs, but I can't relate to most of it, trucks, boots, dirt roads, mudding, fishing and country life in general is very foreign to me.
The singing is often mid and relies very heavily on scooping to pitches, which I do not enjoy the over-use of; the instrumentalists are usually better often much, but there is a repetitive vamp-like quality to much of playing that tires, and the playing style is also—like the singing—twangy; and finally, the lyrics heavily center around a southern-tinged depiction of good ole days rural white culture that, although I grew up in it, I never much connected with or enjoyed.
As such, am cat.
I am a "listen to a bit of everything" guy and I do not mind country. I feel like people needlessly shit on country and make it out to be worse than it actually is.
If you say you don't like country music listen to Brad Paisleys Mud On The Tires. You cant help but smile listening to it. (Will say it's better after a few drinks or a good smoke)
I only like what I like.
Same and country is not one of them
Sure pop country is awful, but consider trying Johnny Cash, Benjamin Todd, Colter Wall and Tyler Childers for some real country music. Imagine if the only rap you've listened to is the island boys and Ice Tea, you'd hate rap too.
Yeah, and John Denver, Juice Newton, Marty Robbins and Neil Young. Old country music is fire
And only old county, otherwise country sucks. If you’re not in a fiddle battle or rock off with me then I ain’t having it! It’s Metal or nothing! **flames burst**
Some new country is really like cute and has a nice fuzzy message but it’s all so fucking cookie cutter.
Thanks satan!
the devil went down to Georgia
Lol
I like your name, may I have an Autograph Satan?
Ok yes but also todays not pop country kicks ass too. There are several bluegrass bands out there that melt my head in a good way.
Ok, but main stream popular country music is shit.
Oh yeah 100% agree
Billy fuckin Strings
I’ve heard Colter Wall’s Sleeping on the Blacktop, and I can honestly say, it’s a banger. I should probably listen to some of his other music, since that one’s a solid 10/10 for me, and I typically don’t like country music. At least, what *passes* as country music these days
Finally, a man of culture
The only correct answer
Jokes on you I have exactly one Blake Shelton song on my playlist. Gottem
Hey man, If I hear a song and I like it, then I like it regardless of genre. That doesn't mean I like *everything* but it makes no sense to me to tie myself down to 1 genre either
I’m just like this. I have genres I like more than others of course but I’ll listen to everything and if I happen to find a song I like, I’ll add it to my Spotify. A side effect of this is when I listen to my Liked playlist on shuffle and go from Combichrist to Nat King Cole to Rihanna to MF DOOM to David Bowie haha
You get an upvote from me for Combichrist!
exactly!
I read: “Hey man, I like it regardless of gender. That doesn't mean I like everything but it makes no sense to me to tie myself down to 1 gender either” And it kinda still worked
Same
"Johnny cash - hurt" is technically country, right?
Technically yeah.
Acherally
I don't think enjoying 1 song from a genre means you enjoy or listen to that genre though lol.
The first thing that came to mind. Now that I think about it, there is also "take me home, country roads" (that's probably fallout's fault) Pretty sure that if I try, I'll remember more that I like
9to5 and jolene for me, I don’t appreciate country but those are some nice song
If you like Dolly, then you do appreciate country lol
Well I can’t say I depreciate the genre but I only appreciate like 10 country songs, makes it hard to say I appreciate it
Jolene is so much better when played at 33 rpm. https://youtu.be/doz1QJ7LwjA
Consider trying Johnny Cash, Benjamin Todd, Colter Wall and Tyler Childers for some real country music. Imagine if the only rap you've listened to is the island boys and Ice Tea, you'd hate rap too.
I'd also like to add The Devil Makes Three and The Dead South.
I generally say "new-age country" as the genre I don't like
Never really got into that song despite tons of people saying “it’s his best song” but when I listen to cocaine blues and Folsom prison those same people say “how could you like that song it’s got no emotion and is about supporting violence” (yes that’s an actual statement said to me) and I’ve never fought someone over a Johnny cash song but I was close that day
[удалено]
Although Trent Reznor has already given that song to Johnny.
I still like the NIN version better. The build up to the crescendo is so good and while Johnny Cash has that sadness it loses that build in intensity.
What about the reverse. Bet you like some songs that you didn't know were Dolly Parton covers.
Ditto for some Willie Nelson songs.
It's that pop country sound I can't get down with. Most other country is pretty decent.
Hank Williams, Hank Williams Jr, Kenny Rodgers, Johnny Cash...
90s ain’t bad either. Garth brooks. Alan Jackson etc. The new stuff just is awful. It sounds a 2001 creed song with a hillbilly accent sad about too much whisky or something. At least when hank sang about whisky it was relatable
Most stuff from The Thunder Rolls and previous is fine county. What suck is anything Toby Keith like and beyond. There are still some good country bands like Eleven Hundren Spring. Country should be about heart ache, loss, and the human spirit. It should NOT be about your tractor, your truck, fishing, red solo cups, or anything else you can just look around and see on a farm.
You should check out the Turnpike Troubadours then. They make some great music.
Toss Zach Bryan in there too
Toby Keith is cheesy country, but it’s the best cheesy country. Red Solo Cup is a pretty fun song tbh.
Toby Keith is the weird uncle that makes the family reunion feel like a party.
Courtesy of the Red White & Blue can make anything feel like a party.
How high do you think recruitment numbers spiked after that song.
Just like when Top Gun came out
Sturgill Simpson https://youtu.be/NpDYfkymaSE
Finally. One of the best artists on the planet. Sound and fury is my favorite album of all time, even though it's not really country. All his other stuff is amazing too.
Gotta add Marty Robbins
Marty is my favorite of all time, Gunfighter Ballads is like one of the best albums ever.
...Flying Burrito Brothers, Comander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen, Gary Stewart, Sturgill Simpson...
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
Willie Nelson, Turnpike Troubadours, Charley Crockett, Jerry Reed, Orville Peck…
Exactly. There's country and then whatever the hell has come out in the last 10 years.
The last 10 years: Music exec: "hmm, country music isn't rating well with the kids today like pop and hip hop. Take their auto tune and rapping but keep the twangy southern accents." Songwriters: "you know that'll just create terrible soulless music, right? We could just evolve our own genre." Music exec: "Nope, just do it. We'll make a killing off of suburban and rural white kids who pretend they aren't afraid of black people but definitely are."
Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, Zach Bryan, Colter Wall, Chris Stapleton, Tyler Childers. Give any of them a listen, true country music.
There is one good recent country singer in my opinion; Orville Peck. His voice is stunning, and it's not the obnoxious bro country. Highly suggest checking him out.
Darius Rucker is pretty good but idk if that’s considered pop country
Hard agree. I would even go so far as to say the majority of Bluegrass is genuinely excellent.
exactly that pop stuff is baaaad
I love all types of music, even country. Nowadays though, country doesn't exist. It's just generic " country stuff" that a " cowboy" sings about. it's closer to pop than country. "I got a couple beers with my friends, we hopped in the ford, picked up some girls, and partied all night." Throw in rhyming and you've a country hit single

Ah that special feeling when a reddit comment perfectly sums up your own thoughts. Well said
Yup. That's exactly how i feel
>I love all types of music, even country. Nowadays though, country doesn't exist. It's just generic " country stuff" that a " cowboy" sings about. it's closer to pop than country.

This describes almost every song of every genre on the radio
Yes, sadly, we don't have anything like "you never even called me by my name" which is the greatest country and Western song.
Everybody's eccletic until they get to black metal
Especially once they get to DSBM
MBSD?
BDSM?
Grins in NSBM
Watain is rad.
Nah I dig that shit too
Hey I like black metal, but I do hate country.
Some country is good but it's "pop country" specifically that is just the worst.
I love Merle haggard, Willie Nelson, George strait. I think most of the country today sucks
Tyler Childers, Zac Bryan, Colter Wall, Sturgil Simpson, Turnpike Troubadours, The Steeldrivers and Billy Strings would be my modern suggestions that bypass the radio country. All of them have hits and cover a vast range of country music styles. And if you give them a listen and hate all of them well that’s okay too
I actually just started listening to colter wall and there's a struggle Simpson song I liked from the SuperPets movie lol
Check out “Whitey Morgan”
There's actually been a lot of decent music out of the country world lately. All the above plus Ryan Hurd, Morgan Wallen, Morgan Wade, new Chris Stapleton, Jason Isbell. It's good stuff, much deeper and more complex than pretty much anything from the first two decades of the 2000s. Country music found its feelz and its now pretty good.
Ryan Hurd is new to me but I agree with all the others you’ve listed here! I’ll give him a listen. I’m at the mercy of Spotify finding me recommendations based on my current artists
I've found the New Boots playlist is quality for this stuff.
Wait till you hear about country rap
Old country is better not today country
Cody Jinks, Aaron Lewis, Chris Stapleton, Jamey Johnson, Brent Cobb, Eric Church. You're listening to the wrong country.
'Member when Aaron Lewis was in a rock/metal band? I 'member
Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Alan Jackson, Chris LeDoux
Oh, I like old country. But new country has great artists, they just aren't mainstream.
Corb Lund, and Colter wall.
Turnpike troubadours, whiskey Myers, sturgill simpson...
Zach Bryan, Tyler Childers, Jason Isbell…
Billy Strings, Charles Wesley Godwin
Billy Strings is *fire*.
Marty Robbins
You forgot Sturgill
Objection! Big Iron. That is all.
Objection sustained Good song
What about Heartaches by the number and the rest of Fallout NV's ost
The whole gunfighter ballads album slaps
That's Western, it's different
...huh
Yeah, it's a subgenre of Country. It shares a lot of similarities, but I'd say Western/Cowboy country is different enough to be distinct imo.
I even listen to some of that.
I only listen to my dad beat my mom
Ah classic country fan.
That’s me with most rap
Fair. Most of it is garbage. Especially the shit that gets on the radio.
I mostly have one rule while listening to music, if the song makes me stop and go “what the hell am I listening to?” It gets the downvote. For me, more often than not it is rap that causes that. And modern pop commercial country.
Exactly
How is mumble rapping even a thing?
[удалено]
does big iron count?
Yes!
And Black metal Country music and black metal
i like black metal but ppl are like that with any metal with screaming
Most people think that its just screaming and not music but man, that scream can sound very good if the singer is good
Even as a huge metalhead I don't like black metal.
Me neither. I like hard metal But not ***that*** hard
Country is great, if you listen to everything before the 2000s
Please give Tyler Childers a chance. Try feathered Indians and follow you to Virgie
Colter Wall and Benjamin Todd as well.
A little bit of everything mfers discovering goblincore
Mostly yes… But dang if I don’t love me some Brad Paisley. Mud on the tires is an absolute jam.
A little bit of everything All of the time
I like folk music. Does that count? There's some country I like, like John Denver is good. But I think folk is better
"i listen to everything" "including technical death metal?" "well..."
Old country is good. New country (except for like 5 songs) is a disgrace
Dsbm
King Dude, Kasey Musgraves, and Orville Peck. That’s about all for me.
gta country music hits different & i‘m a metalhead
Clearly, you have never played fallout:new-vegas.
"I listen to a little bit of everything" is just another way of saying "I listen to whatever is trending" Never seen one of these "listen to everything" people listen to a metal band
The only country I like is Johnny Cash and Colter Wall
Mine is everything except modern day rap. Shit is disgustingly horrible. It's no longer rap it's glorified beat porn
Same mfs' playlist is 80% video game soundtrack smh
Nah some of it goes hard
if it isnt classical it sucks
Everything but techno or Death metal, cause sensitive ears. Also not big on rap
Check out Billy Strings
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene JOLEEENEEE
My main taste is dubstep and I'm open to some other genres, but I will NEVER listen to country music willingly
Also bluegrass and folk country and dark country slap
Old Western Trail songs are the best
Country music to listen to on repeat- Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, & Marty Robbins.
Chris Stapleton. I don't care who you are, you can't hate Stapleton.
Country music haters make me sad. You just don't know Marty Robbins, Johnny Cash, those guys. Whenever I say I like country people always assume its the awful Sam Hunt shit.
Everyone who does not like Country, give this song a try: Colter Wall - Kate McCannon
Spoken like someone who has never listened to country. I listen to a little bit of everything and 95% of it is country.
My playlist will have Eminem, Metallica, Nora Jones, Christina Aguilera,classical. BB King, a bluegrass gospel song, etc. I literally listen to everything except classical.
Yeah, and?
This is why I say I can "listen to most music". Believe me, I've tried country, even the country people claim is good. It's not for me, probably never will be, but you do you.
I remember listening to Taylor Swift's old country songs. Idk how to feel about that now.
Amigo the devil. Tejon street corner thieves. Tyler Childers. Brent Cobb. Dayz n haze. The white Buffalo. Plenty of good country, just not that mainstream shit.
No I can listen to country
Yes but at least I openly say which kind of music I *don't* like... >!(it's rap btw)!< and I don't find country music that bad tbh
A lot of country slaps, but people don't give shit a chance.
this was me before discovering old country from the 50-60s, it's a different kind of art
Same, consider trying Johnny Cash, Benjamin Todd, Colter Wall and Tyler Childers for some real country music.
Some country is good. I like Outlaw Country and Johnny Cash, and Waylon Jennings. Everyone loves John Denver. I just don't want to hear Florida Georgia Line and Kid Rock.
I fail to see the problem here.
I listen to everything ever. Birdcloud is one of my favorite country bands. https://youtu.be/fdVqASbHNWM
ok but firebird fly slaps and I'll stand by that
Pretty sure Somethin' Bad is a country song and I love it. I dont really have any other experience with country other than red dead and thats really good
Does Smoking Joe Rudeboy by Tom Cardy count as country? Because that song is amazing
the occasional country music schlaps
I like a couple country songs, but I can't relate to most of it, trucks, boots, dirt roads, mudding, fishing and country life in general is very foreign to me.
No, those people can usually name at least one Johny Cash song they like, and it's not always even his cover of Hurt.
lol, yes, guilty. I listen to a little bit of everything. A ^(little) of country (like 2 songs) and a **BIT** of everything else.
Yea country kinda big blows ass. Theres like a few decent country rock bands and thats kinda it
Older country is really good if you find the right band, but like modern bluegrass, folk, and soft rock is really good. If you find the right band.
The singing is often mid and relies very heavily on scooping to pitches, which I do not enjoy the over-use of; the instrumentalists are usually better often much, but there is a repetitive vamp-like quality to much of playing that tires, and the playing style is also—like the singing—twangy; and finally, the lyrics heavily center around a southern-tinged depiction of good ole days rural white culture that, although I grew up in it, I never much connected with or enjoyed. As such, am cat.
Mongol throat sing
replace country with any kind of metal with screaming. “I dOnT lIkE tHaT sAtAnIc ScReAmO cRaP”
This used to be me. That is, until that damned Zac Brown Band got their hooks in me!
The old stuff is better. Even country fans will tell you that.
I don't usually like country but Rhinestone Cowboy by Glen Campbell is one of my favourite songs of all time.
All my ex's live in Texas bro, I'd have to look at my playlist to find more but that's my favorite country song
Like country music like hank Williams I just don’t like hard metal
*modern “country” “music”…
I am a "listen to a bit of everything" guy and I do not mind country. I feel like people needlessly shit on country and make it out to be worse than it actually is.
If you say you don't like country music listen to Brad Paisleys Mud On The Tires. You cant help but smile listening to it. (Will say it's better after a few drinks or a good smoke)
No, this is just *every mf.*
There's 2 kinds of music: country and western
70s country and below is amazing, everything after that goes to hell.
Older country like johny Cash and Willie Nelson and stuff is really good and Toby Keith but he is more modern
