That's definitely my experience growing up in Oklahoma. I grew up in a very small country town, and man I got so sick of all of the pop country with Larry The Cable Guy lookalikes shouting "YE YE" at my school that I wrote off the genre completely.
As I have gotten older, though, I just genuinely haven't found many country songs that I care for.

Programming a radio station, I learned how much that he loved Rock, he was even in Buddy Holly's band and gave away his seat on the plane that killed Holly, The Big Bopper and Ritchey Valens. While all Country artists played each other's songs, Waylon Jennings also played lots of Rock songs. He knew that Honky Tonk bars would never put those songs in their jukeboxes so he found his own way to put them in there.
Bob Seger
A couple from Fleetwood Mac
Steely Dan
JJ Cale
Plus his wife was one of the most beautiful women that I've ever seen. Much respect to The Music Man.

Absolutely. Waylon is one of my favorites of any genre. He really struggled with the death of Buddy Holly after a joke he and Holly barbed each other with just prior to that fateful flight.

Nice thread Bfine and thanks for the vid of I Prevail, I like that band unlike Taylor Swift lol
That pop country stuff can turn a lot of people off of all country ha ha
I am with the older guys in that we haven't really seen good country much except guys mentioned like Tyler Childers and
some others lately. Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Marshall Tucker Band etc were all great though back in the day.
As Pally said, Orlando has daughters, that explains any mention of Taylor Swift right there.
I think Pop-Country is getting a bad-rap here. Artists such as luke Combs, Chris Stapleton, Alyssia McBride, and Jelly Roll all are popular and remind me of how they used to do it. Given Jelly Roll cames with a spin.

I like Stapleton and Jelly Roll. Jelly Roll was more of Rap-type before he went country. Wonder how much Luke Combs is paying Tracy
Chapman in royalties for doing her song "Fast Car".
Chris Stapleton is a great singer and has some great songs, dude is one of the originals. Cannot hate on Chris, I don't consider him Pop
Country at all. Dude is just good and gets recognized for it rightly so.
