Fun Stuff > BAND
My parents wonder why I don't like country...
El Opium:
I always thought I would like anything vaguely country but I took a look through my collection one time and realized I had a bit of alt-country like The Court and Spark and the Handsome Family (If you don't like countys lyrical perspective give them a try as they turn it on its head) and also some country rock like My Morning Jacket.
Einherjar:
--- Quote from: TheCourtJester ---Props for liking Jazz though. There's no genre that even comes close (this coming from an avid punk and indie fan, too).
--- End quote ---
I've seriously considered dropping out of college to form/join a small-time jazz band and tour small, seedy cabarets. I've had the urge to jam again, but I haven't had the chance.
aquagirl2988:
Alison Krauss is amazing...The end. I get choked up when I hear some of her stuff, it's just that beautiful.
Alyonva:
I don't fully understand the point in a thread about not liking something. I think most people can be cynical and dismissive; they probably don't need help.
I like Deformgraphy's sentiment. He doesn't like country. He's not obligated to like it. He shouldn't feel obligated to give it a chance, or explore obscure country artists, or whatever. That's cool.
But to draft some bullshit itemized list is a waste of time. If you don't want to like country music then don't listen to it. But to dismiss the genre based on the staples of the pop-culture steeped crap that exists in any marginally popular artform is just silly. Hell, I don't like the calamari at the fucking Olive Garden so I'd better swear off Italian food. So maybe you don't like country because you listen to shitty country.
Ditto for feminism. Maybe you find feminists obnoxious because you hang around with retards.

hmmm.
imagine the flak you'd cop here if you did this thread with, uh, indie rock.
steve earle is great (thanks dad!). he's even done a song for john walker ("so they're sending me back / with my head in a sack / to the land of the infidel").
feminism's another kettle of fish entirely. i could have some good arguments with some of the posters so far, but for, you know, stayin' on topic.
