Yeah I just can't get into country. Like the blues I can appreciate how it got into rock n roll but so much of it is whiny and annoying.


Depends on what you're calling country. Modern country-pop sucks, but Hank Williams is fucking great. So are his predecessors... There's a boatload of great country that WAS country before it was commodified by the current crop of pap merchants.

Uncle Dave Macon... The Texas Playboys... Even stuff like Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn... the country scene was far more interesting 40 years ago.

Like Blues.

Maybe this is what people mean when they say they hate blues and country... they are both genres that have their best days behind them.

But what if this is also true of rock?
