My parents wonder why I don't like country...

<< < (2/8) > >>

Inlander:
Fair enough, at least you've tried!

Uther:
The country that gets played in Southeastern Connecticut is universally crap, but the same can be said of pretty much any genre.  There's plenty of good country out there; you just have to seek it out.  Inlander's suggestions are good, particularly At San Quentin and the Uncle Tupelo.

Oerdin:

Jonnie Cash indeed was the man and I am a proud owner of his best of album. Other then that country is barely tolerable and the only reason I even listened to it for a while is because I was dating a girl from Montana and I had to keep her happy.  I was slowly able to move her listening tastes towards better music over time though.

Don't get me wrong, but all the stations in southeastern connecticut are crap. Radio is crap. And still, when I drive, I have 97.7 on for some reason.

KharBevNor:
Yeah...I generally don't really have that much objection to Countries sound, as I'm a big fan of all sorts of Folk music. I can deal with any wierd-ass instrument as long as it sounds good. The problem is often the lyrics, which for many of the resons intimated in post 1 don't do much for me. This is why, in my limited experience, I pick out Cash, as his song's tend to pick much more esoteric and interesting subjects. He was also like, my first 'favourite artist' (When I was seven). Ring of Fire, Man in Black and a Boy Named Sue all stand out particularly in my mind, not to mention his covers of songs written by artists like Danzig and Trent Reznor. They made me re-discover him recently.

Man, his version of 'Hurt' is beautiful.
