deathofasalesman: Country: Does It Suck?

deathofasalesman 04.12.21	No I don't think it does. I (unfortunately) grew up on it
kevbogz 04.12.21	if u think country sucks u prolly think eating ass is gross too
Scoot 04.12.21	ian noe is dope af
Sunnyvale 04.12.21	In a word, no Also Ian Noe does rule, saw him live opening for Son Volt a few years back
theBoneyKing 04.12.21	Yes
rockarollacola 04.12.21	It's just like every other genre nowadays. The dogshit floats to the top of the charts while the good stuff is buried underneath. On the other hand, the 60's, 70's, and 90's were a great decades for popular country music; especially the 90's.
Asdfp277 04.13.21	The rumor come out: does Country is suck ?
Dedes 04.13.21	Country can rule 16 Horsepower Orville Peck Johnny Cash Wovenhand (gothic country/post punk whatever) All of them rule
kevbogz 04.13.21	surprised by the lack of hype for Amigo the Devil on this site. Volume 1 is a ripper
theBoneyKing 04.13.21	Yeah but it’s country so it sucks
GhandhiLion 04.13.21	no, there is some good stuff also why are buckley and fahey on a country list
budgie 04.13.21	eating ass is gross kev. enjoy ur tapeworms
MrSirLordGentleman 04.13.21	I really like it though in small doses
theBoneyKing 04.13.21	Ghandhi looking like a fool trying to imply country doesn’t suck
GhandhiLion 04.13.21	spoken like a true lazyking
GhandhiLion 04.13.21	it's not like I prefer it to Radiohead (heavens no!)
theBoneyKing 04.13.21	Sanity restored
americanohno 04.13.21	country based af tbh https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XxYwWg7F8I&ab_channel=CivilDefenseSpot
ArsMoriendi 04.13.21	Probably not The banjo is a great instrument to say the least
JDubb 04.13.21	Country sucks, with some rare exceptions. Music for the mindless.
GhandhiLion 04.13.21	That sounds more like metal music to me
theBoneyKing 04.13.21	“Country sucks, with some rare exceptions. Music for the mindless.” ^ Progressive metal at top of pie chart XD
GhandhiLion 04.13.21	xD brb making a country megalist
theBoneyKing 04.13.21	Based
Ryus 04.13.21	no, it does not
Ryus 04.13.21	“Country sucks, with some rare exceptions. Music for the mindless.” lmao
theBoneyKing 04.13.21	Ryus I regret to inform you you are gravely mistaken
Ryus 04.13.21	fucc
Sinternet 04.13.21	country is way more metal than most of the pussy shit gets hyped round here
theBoneyKing 04.13.21	Waylon Jennings m/
MrSirLordGentleman 04.13.21	"Country sucks, with some rare exceptions. Music for the mindless." xd
budgie 04.13.21	country just like the culture it comes from is a stain upon the earth
theBoneyKing 04.13.21	Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Ryus 04.13.21	great genre great culture
Havey 04.13.21	https://youtu.be/Y_6zAbj6IYw
Ryus 04.13.21	need more hank williams ratings
Kompys2000 04.13.21	"country just like the culture it comes from is a stain upon the earth" Right unlike black metal which is famously the product of a great culture with no problems
Cygnatti 04.13.21	It does not. Country culture is fine too. Literally nothing wrong with it. Great genre. Great culture. [2]
theBoneyKing 04.13.21	Varg did nothing wrong
Kompys2000 04.13.21	Country culture does have some pretty big problems but quite frankly I don't want to hear a goddamn thing from metalheads or indie kids about it. Get your own backyard in order before you start bitching about how the neighbors' lawn looks, please and thank you.
bigguytoo9 04.13.21	im wearing a Willie shirt right now
Ryus 04.13.21	https://www.sputnikmusic.com/user/Willie
CaimanJesus 04.13.21	Nothing beats prime Van Zandt
Ryus 04.13.21	yea van zandt is the man
GhandhiLion 04.13.21	This website is shit
budgie 04.13.21	Varg did nothing wrong [2]
Kompys2000 04.13.21	Been getting a lot more into van Zandt lately, his first few albums are so damn good
Doibhin69 04.13.21	This website is shit [2]
CaliggyJack 04.13.21	There are no bad genres. Only bad artists.
GhandhiLion 04.13.21	k done that list, the website still sucks. logging off now.
quetzal 04.13.21	older stuff has some legit good music. alt country, southern gothic, etc. stuff is fine. but newer pop country? most obnoxious garbage on the planet.
Sinternet 04.13.21	i'll take pop country over cookie-cutter djent bands tbh
Doibhin69 04.13.21	There are no bad genres. Only bad artists. [2]
budgie 04.13.21	"There are no bad genres. Only bad artists." this is what somebody who has never listened to country would say
GhandhiLion 04.13.21	https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=1069973
deathofasalesman 04.13.21	this went about well as expected
Veldin 04.13.21	There are no bad genres. Only bad artists. [3] I've always said this. No genre is bad, there's always SOMETHING worth listening to. The main reason I think people hate country is because of the pop-country and its generalized fanbase that's perpetuated in modern culture. Big difference between "Tecumseh Valley" and "Chicken Fried".
quetzal 04.13.21	I'd probably rather hear cookie-cutter djent over pop country but I'm not big on either so I'll choose to continue avoiding that filth. Also the list above has some non-country stuff on it like The Ballad of Easy Rider.
fogza 04.13.21	Country is pretty good. I agree that pop rock with some lap steel in the background and a singer with a twang isn't very good.
Cygnatti 04.13.21	There are bad genres. Country and country pop aren't one of them.
DoofDoof 04.13.21	It’s all bad except for that one song Tiger King did
BaselineOOO 04.13.21	Country sucks only if you hate your country. So yes, Country music sucks according to 24% of the Americans, mostly uneducated young people who don't recognize they live in the greatest country in history of mankind.
combustion07 04.13.21	I love Waylon and the 3 Hanks. Admittedly haven't dug too deep into country and the more modern forms of it aren't for me but the genre as a whole doesn't suck
farmerobama 04.13.21	I first thought you would list countries and then discuss if this country sucks. Would also be a great list.
RadioSuicide 04.13.21	underrated genre, especially on sput. I'm distantly related to Tammy Wynette, so i feel obligated to show a little love to the genre from time to time. some people do it much better than others, to be sure
bloc 04.13.21	I love the guitar playing, so no I would not say it sucks. I dig some Dwight Yokam and that's about it really
Lasssie 04.13.21	carefree highway by gordon lightfoot
JoeTex 04.13.21	some pretty good stuff here
NorthernSkylark 04.13.21	2 actually got me into country
budgie 04.13.21	Country sucks only if you hate your country. So yes, Country music sucks according to 24% of the Americans, mostly uneducated young people who don't recognize they live in the greatest country in history of mankind. is this copypasta
butt. 04.13.21	I hated country most of my life but I just didn’t know about the good stuff. Now I’m a big fan (but mostly pre-2000s with a few exceptions). Old country-folk is that reeeeal good shit. Here we go: Johnny cash, Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams (and his son, and his son’s son), John Denver, Townes Van Zandt, Lavender Country, Woody Guthrie, Arlo Guthrie, Bob Dylan’s country album, Drive-By Truckers, Orville Peck, Gillian Welch, Jason Isbell, Sturgill Simpson, Flying Burrito Brothers, Gram Parsons, Pure Prairie League, Roger Miller, David Allan Coe, Willie Nelson, Son Volt, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Old Crow Medicine Show, Tyler Childers, Steve Earle, George Jones. I’m sure I’m forgetting a ton but yeah.
RadioSuicide 04.13.21	I wondered the same thing budgie
deathofasalesman 04.13.21	I know John Fahey and The Byrds aren't trve covntry but the influence reigns heavy.
Drifter 04.13.21	came here to say george jones and butt beat me im glad
nol 04.13.21	this country pretty obviously sucks
TheOrgazoid 04.13.21	If Asleep at the Wheel counts as country then my answer is no
Doibhin69 04.13.21	@budgie I've listened to country you noob
JDubb 04.13.21	Anybody with a recent REM ranking should roll- see ya GhandiLion. Metal promotes mindfulness.
protokute 04.13.21	nice list, would also add The Louvin Brothers - Satain Is Real, Dillard & Clark - The Fantastic Expedition Of Dillard & Clark, The Internation Submarine Band - Safe At Home, Lee Hazzelwood - Cowboy In Sweden and Lee Hazzlewood - The Very Special World of Lee Hazzlewood, John Prine - John Prine, New Riders of The Purple Sage - Self Titled, Grateful Dead - Workingman's Dead, Lavender Country debut... one of my favorite country stuff
Cygnatti 04.13.21	Asleep at the Wheel is very much country, yes
parksungjoon 04.13.21	>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Metal promotes mindfulness.
GhandhiLion 04.13.21	Girlslaughing.jpg
Egarran 04.13.21	Well, no But yes Admittedly I have a soft spot for https://youtu.be/bMdeg-WKt1U
gryndstone 04.13.21	country radio stations are oft pretty shit but bluegrass, americana, folk, shit like that can all be really good. the problem is anyone who says they don't like country usually are referring to whatevers being broadcast
butt. 04.14.21	Yeah, unfortunately if you wanna flip on fm radio and find good country your best chance is the oldies station. You’ll get some good ones here and there
protokute 04.14.21	the only good country radio is k-rose from san andreas
nol 04.14.21	I quite enjoyed Radiohead’s country album
Egarran 04.14.21	You probably all know it, but here's Bo Burnham's country song: https://youtu.be/y7im5LT09a0 Like Mike’s Evandering, fuck your ears I’m pandering.
nol 04.14.21	Love that skit haha, he nails it “A bud light with the logo facing out”
deathofasalesman 04.15.21	@protokute that is pretty OP along with Rebel Radio from GTA V
deathofasalesman 05.11.21	Bump because I need trve covntry recs
BaselineOOO 05.11.21	Emmylou Harris - Wrecking Ball best country
Divaman 05.11.21	More often than not, yes, but not as bad as some other genres.
Sunnyvale 05.11.21	Wrecking Ball is absolutely great stuff, nice rec! Son Volt's Trace and Waylon Jennings' Honky Tonk Heroes are some others I would suggest, @deathofasalesman.
Ryus 05.11.21	gram parsons - grievous angel
TheSpirit 05.11.21	no it doesn't
FabiusPictor202 05.11.21	YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
nol 05.11.21	A dirt road, a cold beer A blue jeans, a red pickup A rural noun, simple adjective No shoes, no shirt No Jews, you didn't hear that Sort of a mental typo
FabiusPictor202 05.11.21	im from the south an im really fuckin stupid I cant read I cant write I got a cleft lip and a lazy eye I'm an aryan race eyes blue as the sky
Ryus 05.11.21	country > metal
FabiusPictor202 05.11.21	i believe in my savior lord jesus christ, everybody seems equal in our saviors eyes, except for fa*** and except for ni***, if you dont get off my lawn, im pull that trigger.

deathofasalesman 05.12.21	added it @sunnyvale and the other recs here, thanks yall
MillionDead 05.12.21	No, country is a rich genre full of thoughtful and well crafted music. Bro country don’t count.
deathofasalesman 05.12.21	Not totally related but there's a truck that drives around my neighborhood that's a lifted Ford F350 and across the front windshield is the word "BRO-DOZER" with stars around it. I imagine he bumps that good ol' bro country
protokute 01.16.23	no.
Snake. 01.16.23	i like all music except rap and country because i hate poor people
JohnnyoftheWell 01.16.23	i would love to enjoy rap music more but unfortunately its fanbase is too racist
