Old school/early country like Hank Williams and Faron Young has some stuff that's pretty good. Nothing I would choose to listen to, but it doesn't make me want to kick the stereo to pieces if someone plays it.

But as far as the new breed goes, from Garth Brooks to all them other good ole boys, everything I've ever heard really does go from dire to pathetic.

I agree.  All the cookie-cutter "hunks in hats" of the modern day can't hold a candle to the likes of Hank Sr., Johnny Cash et al.

Mojo Nixon did a very excellent song called "Let's Go Burn Ole Nashville Down", which takes country music to task for forgetting its roots.

Will Oldham, aka Palace Brothers/Palace Music/Bonnie 'Prince Billy' is not much of a 'hunk in hat'. But I think he' alt. country is great.

Love some 70's Dolly Parton and Tammy Wynette, Hank Williams, Carter Family, Johnny Cash and Jimmie Rogers in small doses. Also like Emmylou Harris/Gram Parsons and late 60's Byrds.

I don't find any difference in modern country and modern pop/rock.  The only difference for a while has been a southern accent (which I don't find annoying at all)  many artists have gotten rid of steel guitars and fiddles of older country entirely and some add keyboards.
 
I have no problem listening to country, but like all genres some is good some is bad, I find it silly to disregard a genre as vast as country as a whole.

my favorite country is Alison Krauss.  Also my parents just got a cd by alison brown that is quite good (almost all instrumental and very well played)
 
I guess I have the fortune of having a southern family, my family comes from Texas. I were boots and own a cowboy hat. I also have quite a nice belt buckle collection and wear wranglers.

Oh man, I don't even know what Country sounds like, it is a non-existant genre in my country and nobody I know listens to it. But then you have Pop, Dance and Mainstream Rap, now that I have to bear! Dead

Hate it - the only "country" style music I thought was any good was some of kd Lang's stuff. But even then I wouldn't consider it "real" country.
 
There's a line in the Blues Brothers where the band are playing out in hicksville somewhere, the bar is full of good ole' boys and girls in denims/cowboy boots/hats, Jake asks "what kind of music do you like here?" and the host says "both types honey...country AND western..."LOL

I find Country irritating, but I would rather listen to it than Rap; at least Country has a MELODY.
 
Although I would never buy any albums, I have great repect for people like Johnny Cash--he had talent and he worked his ass off to make great Country music. But modern Country is full of talentless hacks and has lost the genre's original intent. I'm not sure what that intent was, but they've lost it.

The same thing goes for country as for every other music genre there is; There is good and there is bad. It is my opinion that all music, regardless of genre, should be respected. Let me remind you that there is plenty of bad prog aswell, and that there are plenty of people who hate prog just like you hate country. Wink
