Do other genres just suck? - Rebel - 03-06-2010 12:53 AM
I swear, I listen to ALL music. I listen to everything from Too Short (probably too old for someone like cb) to Eminem, to Pantera, to Megadeth, to Garth Brooks. I listen to it all. From my experience, country singers sound most like their albums in concerts.

BTW, I think even CB will enjoy this song. He is, afterall, a southerner. Would be nice if he'd realize that.
Problem with CB is he doesn't know he's a "redneck". According to the liberal elite, we're ALL "rednecks" down here. I have more in common with CB than those morons. Fried Chicken? Watermelon? Where did that insult come from? It damn sure wasn't from southerners. Why? Well, find me a southerner that doesn't like some fried chicken or watermelon. I defy you. That **** came from the racist northerners.

....if not, you guys tell me where I'm wrong. Just know this discussion started with a talk I had with one of my best friends, a retired US Army SFC who is black and conservative.

Country singers get discovered singing live. Its a saturated live market when it comes to country music, and that competition creates a better singer.
Taylor Swift is the "pop" version of country. Her parents pushed her and sent in recording after recording to record labels. Thats how pop singers get discovered.
While Nettles doesn't have the best voice, she DOES sound the same live as on the album. There are exceptions to the "country music stars are good singers" rule. Like Garth Brooks, and Taylor Swift, etc.

I like people who are true. It's why I like Jamey Johnson over Kenny Chesney.
BTW, I think Jennifer has a beautiful voice. I'm kinda infatuated by her.
RE: Do other genres just suck? - Rebel - 03-06-2010 01:21 AM
..and for some reason my dad cannot stand her voice.
RE: Do other genres just suck? - Dak10 - 03-06-2010 03:11 AM
What's not true about Chesney?
Don't trash a Parrothead Rebel.

I'll take Eddie Vedder's voice live every time and I have seen hundreds of live shows.

Damn, I got drunk as hell last night. I wasn't supposed to do that until next weekend in Savannah.

Don't listen to much country so I woundn't know about that. What I would say, however, is that most rock bands make there songs just just long enough to be played on the radio. (How many times have you ever heard Iron Butterfly's In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida or Pink Floyd's Echoes played in their entirety? Each of them takes up one whole side of an album) The songs of many rock bands usually evolve to include solos and other stuff during live performances.

I just started getting into country because other genres have started sucking. I do like bands like Breaking Benjamin, who are awesome. Country isn't like it was in the 50's. I can't stand that twangy shiite. New country is pretty good. Hell, I'll listen to everything from classic rock, new rock, rap, country, to Tchaikovsky. My cousin is a conductor who's conducted in Sochi, Russia.
RE: Do other genres just suck? - Rebel - 03-08-2010 12:07 AM
...not to mention I've become infatuated with Jennifer Nettles, singer in Sugarland.

These two comments are mutually exclusive.

I hope I don't lose cool points, but I can enjoy country music. I actually the bass and the tuba and I just like the fact that all of the bass is based off of blues and gospel.

I presume you didn't see my thread featuring Stephen Stills of Crosby, Stills, and Nash earlier? He sounds just like the song live.

If you're going to talk country music, give me an old AM radio with Hank or Bob Wills. I like Bluegrass, but think modern country is about as pretentious as David Bowie. It doesn't really have a damn thing to do with "Country" ... it's all Urban Cowboy.

+1
Can't stand new country. Professional songwriters doing variations of the same 4 or 5 songs over and over again for a bunch of popstars singing in fake or exaggerated "Southern" accents and wearing rhinestone studded shirts.
I love "outlaw" country and bluegrass though.

I doubt there are many northerners that don't like chicken and watermelon too.

Growing up in the north I listened to rock and pop music mostly, not much country - only exposure to country was the neighbors. So I don't listen to country much but it's okay. I dislike like jazz or rap but will listen to just about anything else. Prefer classic rock though.

Ever heard of Jamey Johnson?
