    Gimme some George Strait any day. That man is in his sixties and he is damn sexy! Will also take Merle, Willie, and Alan, but y'all can keep Taylor.

    You can also keep Sugarland and the awful woman that 'sings' in it with her fake accent and nasaly voice.

    I dunno, way they grew up maybe?

    I love country, my favorite country artist being Charley Pride, I was raised with it. My dad rarely listened to anything else lol. But my mom on the other hand liked pop and alternative but not much else, brother was huge into rap and my sister listened to everything so I ended up loving all kinds of music.

    My opinion of country music is similar to my opinion of Mexican food. It's nice enough, but I don't crave it.

    There are some good songs that come out of Nashville but they are few and far between. Little Big Town makes consistently good music, and Eric Church's "Springsteen" was certainly a good song, but for the most part, Nashville pop music is a lot more about commerce than art. That said, there are some wonderful country music and musicians out there; you just won't find them on CMT. Son Volt, Holly Williams, and Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell to name just three have released truly outstanding records this year.

    The Civil Wars? Yes. Johnny Cash? Yes. Willy Nelson? Yes. (particularly if he's covering Coldplay: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6S2KJIf1UC8)

    Taylor Swift? No. No No. Brad Paisley? No. (seriously, what is up with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2a_-JIr6MUs)

    To me, new country is trying too hard to be pop.

    This song is so beautiful it made me cry when I first heard it.

    I dislike it because it's very sad. Usually it's about getting drunk, suicide and people dying, or breakups. I like music that's upbeat with a good tune to dance to.

    If I do listen to country, I usually pick the older stuff that my parents grew up with. I hate most modern country, I suppose I should say. I'm usually okay with some pop country too. :P

    Little Big Town is one that I can say I actually find halfway decent.

    False! Pop is trying too hard to be country. Look at Kelly Clarkson, Lady Antebellum, Carrie and Taylor.

    When people say they like everything EXCEPT country, it's a matter of their sense of identity.

    I really enjoy it, and I would agree that the "everything but country" is quite a standard line.

    Though I'm a closet country fan :-)

    Country music makes me want to slit my wrists and watch the blood pool. I don't know why, it just does. :ohwell: I don't care for techno club music either, but it doesn't make me suicidal.

    False! Pop is trying too hard to be country. Look at Kelly Clarkson, Lady Antebellum, Carrie and Taylor.

    Antebellum means before the war (typically referring to the Murrican Civil War) -- so Lady Antebellum is definitely country trying to be pop. The other two I can't say I am familiar.
