87 : SOUTHERN ROCK
I can get into soul and funk even though i'm not black. I can get into Krautrock even thought i'm not German , yet I just cannot get into this genre of music.
I put southern rock in the same category I put happy hardcore in that I can feel my brain cells melting when I listen to it. I don't know why that should be. Maybe because it's because I feel you have to own a pick up truck and shoot at furry mammals to appreciate it fully , maybe it's because I don't want a peice of music to make me feel like a redneck ... who knows. I don't normally look down on a genre of music if I can help it but in this case I can't help myself. It's like the American equivalent of chav music. In the UK you get chavs in souped up Vauxhall Novas blasting out drum & bass in the US you get rednecks in pick up trucks blasting out Southern Rock. To me it's the same thing.
