16 Horsepower...no. It's his voice that turns me off this one,
Wovenhand...not bad. A little dull, and I find it drags on a little.
The Peculiar Pretzelmen...different. The first song I like a little more than the second.

Overall not bad, but I think I'm beyond the point of converting. I prefer my music to have a beat, where I can move my head in unison with the music and with country music, I don't feel that vibe.

Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is the album that opened my mind to the offerings of alternative country music. Woven Hand's self-titled album is another really good example in the same spirit as Wilco.

This has a beat? Really good alt-country album.

But (barring Cash) that IS country music. Also, even if you manage to get into alt-country, that's not really country music.

Maybe you'll be able to appreciate Hank Wiliams' grandson:
Hank III


edit: here's another more traditional country song of his.

Checked both your links and have to say;
Yes, I can easily dislike hip-hop. There's nothing I like in the clips you posted

I just can't accept that somebody just dislikes the genre of Hip Hop. It is so closed minded considering the many different types. If you like Hardcore, Pop, Rock, Electronic music etc there are elements of that in many Hip Hop artists/songs.

Fair enough, you might not like what you hear on the radio. I don't either, but there are just as many underground/non-mainstream acts that are excellent, like any other genre.





EDIT: This was a song by Death Grips. Link didn't work for whatever reason. Download the album.

Hey Tom, earlier in the thread, the subject of hip hop was broached, and when you understand the reasons why people aren't getting in to the genre, it's easier to help them with recommendations and respect their opinion.
