I'm sooooooooo [censored] sick of country music

[guids]

Are you going to be in colorodo for awhile, because you will end up liking it. a lot of my friends went to smallish colleges in the middle of Missouri, and they all were city kids, but ended up loving country. Apparently they say it grows on you. I refuse to stay anywhere for any length of time where I gotta listen to it.

I think you are listening to the wrong country music. Most of what I listen to is Waylon Jennings/Merle Haggard and outlaw country. They are the real country music. The modern stuff is just a bunch of posers. Outlaw country was sung by real cowboys/real badasses like waylon and merle. Todays country music is pop music in disguise sung by a bunch of wannabes.

On hating country music:

I'll agree that, on the whole, it sucks. But I hate pretty much every sort of music there is. I only like specific songs of each style, as the bulk of them are terrible. I'm left with a vast array of music that I like from all genres. Not too many of them are country, though. I think that has to do with the "typical" country song being actively annoying in both rhythm and twang.

The Rolling Stones sing country music, and they most certainly do not suck.

not even close.
Some people just don't like it. Period. No matter how much exposure.
The more you are exposed the WORSE it gets for the most part.
I am one of those people when we're talking about most of the crap country modern stuff like Garth Brooks or Kenny chesney or whoever (but I can dig George Jones, Patsy Cline and some other classic stuff).


Didn't matter what places I worked at or what cool people I was associating with (or even dating) who liked it and maybe even tried to turn me on to it.
Still sucks.


First professional radio gig out of college was doing morning news at a country station. Arrrgh. That sucked.

Next gig was doing news and sports on a country station and I actually had to disc-jock the stuff in the afternoon.

It was 1994 and I had to take 27 phone-calls a day from 14 year-olds requesting Tim McGraw's "Don't Take the Girl" which may just be the worst song in the history of music.
Ummm, people, it's in our damn rotation REALLY heavy and I think we play it about every 17 minutes. No need to call and request it. It's coming on again soon.

There was one song at the time by Mary Chapin Carpenter I think that I felt was actually tolerable. Something like, "If you think I won't go...Watch Me!!"
Every single other song, and I mean EVERY one of them, sucked beyond sucking.

I will be here for a while but it is unlikely to ever grow on me



they all were city kids, but ended up loving country.

I am not a city kid at all, To be more specific I am from NE Minnesota. Town of about 4K and I grew up on a lake out in the woods outside of town. I live in the country, but grew up a metal head. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
