Do I have a bad taste in music?

I think you should make a post in here, Kip, and tell us exactly what it is about Country music that you dislike, and we in our wealth of knowledge can probably give you some stepping stones into the genre that lack enough of those qualities that you can appreciate it.

I know I have something to offer.

Yeah, I guess I do have a bad taste in music. Oh well, as long as I enjoy everything I like then I'll be fine. I've already found a couple bands I'm interested in hearing more from. Too bad Youtube doesn't have every song from some of these bands.

Edit: I'll attempt to portray in words what I don't like about it. Thanks.

Hahaha, that's true.
Here's something close to country:

It's not really country, but it may be a nice introduction

Very bluegrass-y. Not that bad though.

Only slightly bluegrassy, but there's an entrance

.
Now try this:

I listen to everything from

Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Lady GaGa, the Backstreet Boys to

Led Zeppelin, the Beatles, Bob Dylan, the Beach Boys, the Kinks to

Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Manowar, Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Pantera to

Fates of Warning, Queensryche, Jethro Tull to

Dream Theater, Opeth, Symphony X to

Pink Floyd, Genesis, Gentle Giant, Supertramp, King of Crimson to

Radiohead, the Flower Kings, the Mars Volta to

Rakim, KRS-One, Tupac, Biggie, Nas, Jay-Z to

Mastodon, Kyuss, the Melvins, Queens of the Stone Age to

Miles Davis, John Coltrane, the Mahavishnu Orchestra etc

There are many more but why would I list them all?

You obviously have no taste of music at all. You just listen to anything that's on

I try but once I heard that song "Ridin' Solo" on Kiss FM I got the biggest headache imaginable.

I try to put myself in the mindset that country isn't all too far out there from what else I like (Nickelback, Pride & Glory, Bon Jovi, The Eagles) but I just can't do it. I'd love to be able to listen to it, but my perception of it just won't let me, if that makes any sense.

What about this?

Well there's no accounting for taste, so you shouldn't really worry about what you're listening to, since it's all entirely subjective (unless it's Brokencyde of course...)
