I like what jgd85 had to say-- it's the lifestyle thing. If you drive a pick up truck, live on a farm, go to church every Sunday, eat your wife's fried chicken for supper--well then you're going to identify and enjoy music that reflects your reality. I really love some of that sappy stuff that makes me feel like a kid growing up in a rural setting-- living in the city now, it's a connection to something real that I miss.

I like country music but not all country music artists. The slow beat and lyrics is what I like from it ... =D

Talking

I love Country Music because it makes a lot of sense to me. There are the quirky ones like she thinks my tractor is sexy, those are just for fun. I mean if you quote some of the Rock songs you can make them sound funny as well. lol. There are two people who i really love the first is Dolly Parton. I love her music because they really come from her heart and they tell a great story. Some of them are upbeat like Better Get to Livin from her new cd. Its not depressing or quirky. I also really like Terri Clark. She can really rock it too. Her guitar playing is amazing and if you ever get the chance to see her live i bet you might like it. Check her out.

I kinda have a thing for Emmylou...

I'm a huge country fan, though I never listen to country radio. Not that all popular country is bad - it just isn't what usually draws me in. I love Laura Cantrell, Jimmy LaFave, Elizabeth Cook, Neko, Hank Williams, The Louvin Brothers, Wilie Nelson, Lucinda... there are too many to list. Right now I'm listening to Eilen Jewell.

There's a lot of variety in country music (bluegrass and country-pop don't sound much alike, for example). Writing off all country as sounding the same is pretty ignorant. Your loss.

I don`t dig country radio either but obviously someone does or they would`nt be playing that stuff.I like the older stuff like the Carter Family and Hank Williams too.The alt country stuff is a favorite of mine too:Uncle Tupelo/Son Volt,Richard Buckner,Blue Mountain,Drive By Truckers,Jayhawks,etc.

You don't live in the city..........................You live in the shitty

I don't mean any disrespect to you personally but it is my honest opinion that Hamilton is the asshole of Ontario
