I like everything but country and rap... (bs) (hip-hop, punk)

i recently saw post of people discussing how 50% of MB members always cop out when they first start posting how they like 'everything but country and rap'. well i thought we could come up with a thread to show people that these 2 genres are nothing to be discarded and they should be just as open minded towards the wonderful music that both have to offer.

i would like to begin with my favorite country artist, johnny cash. he is one of the most influencial artist of the 20th century, selling over 90 million albums. his musicical authenticity and great song writing ability speaks for itself. enjoy.

rap is not exactly my favorite genre, but it doesnt mean that it isnt full of great musicians who make great music. personally i am a huge fan of outkast. these guys make groovtastic funkadelic jams. its hard not to love a group who made such a badass song dedicated to making love, stankonia. for impressive lyrical content look no further than the overplayed (yet amazing) ms jackson, where andre discuss's his failed relationship with erika badu and the aftermath that followed.

now obviously there is a lot more obscure artist out there, but i wanted to start with something everyone would (should) have at least heard of. so please come one come all, and lets end this musical bigotry... can i get some mf doom or david allen coe?
