I'm sooooooooo [censored] sick of country music

[nickg1532]

i used to hate it, but after going to school in the midwest for 4 years, it grew on me. it's definitely not my favorite genre, and (like anything else) there's plenty of it that i don't like. but i can now appreciate some of it; i no longer completely write it off as being [censored].

so, to repeat what someone else said, you'll probably end up liking it

I like country music. I used to think it was the stupidest [censored] in the world. You just have to turn off your cynicism filter.

3 steps:

1. Love a southern girl.
2. Drive through the south without a CD player.
3. Sing along.

4. Work on a farm for 3 years.

This happened to me. Totally didn't see it happening
considering how much I used to hate country music.

I've never lived out of a major metro area on the East Coast, but I like Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Jerry Jeff Walker, Hank Sr. and to a lesser extent III- Lots of the newer stuff does seem to blow pretty hard. I tried out a Dixie Chicks album from a few years ago and yeeee..... But I do like songs about defensive driving and the Messiah- Hiiiiyaa!

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.
