All my picks for this thread have been mentioned about a gazillion times by a gazillion different people already, so listing them again would be boring as for all concerned.

Personally I like it but some people seem to hate it:(

Yeah, that's basically the complaint that's cropped up the most with him that I've heard. Same with a few other artists I love like Midnight Oil, Scritti Politti and so on. Obviously I've got nothing against them myself, but I can definitely see the angle all the naysayers are coming from.

I've come to the conclusion that I really dislike a majority of country music. I've really tried to get into some of them and actually perused Pete's entire Gothic Americana thread. Most of the stuff I just couldn't get into. Although this song did stand out to me immensely and I thoroughly enjoyed it:



However, for the most part I find myself unable to enjoy a majority of country.

Didn't he call Ray Charles the n-word someone called me rascist for liking him because of that.

Yep, James Brown too. So, yeah, the man's done a lot of stupid things in his life. Doesn't stop me liking his music as I do. Plus, being called a racist for liking someone who made a racist remark about 30 years ago and nothing similar since is a bit much really.

Yup, I've heard a song or two of his that I found atrocious due to his voice.

Fair enough, but do me a favour before giving up altogether. I'm making a Beginner's Guide to Alt. Country right now, it's just uploading and I will send it to you first. Listen to it and then make your decision, OK? It's a lengthy playlist of 30 songs and I'm confident you'll find something to your liking.
