Yep I second that! Best metal band out there. Has not sold out in over 20 years of playing and is still strong. I think "God Hates Us All" is one of there best albums!

 

LOL sounds like the line from the movie Blues Brothers, "Mam, what kind of music do you usually have here?" "Oh we have both kinds we have country and western!" What the hell is the difference really? Someone please explain.

 

One name that hasn't been mentioned on here is good ol Hank Williams Jr. One of the only country singers keeping it country and not going pop. Love his stuff, especailly when he gets with all his rowdy friends (Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash (RIP), Charlie Pride, and all the other country slingers - legends as well). What he, and they sing, is true country. Sure I love Alan Jackson, but good ol Hank has that true southern tune that i love.

oh yea, tool is cool, I just fell in love a perfect circle(even though its like tool2)
on the country side, I like toby, david ball, and of course Mr Garth Brooks. The best!!
another good old rock band is CCR.

 

Well, I'll listen to just about anything, but to be perfectly honest I prefer easy listening. Of course, when I'm in my truck, the only music I like is the wonderful sound of the engine!!

 

Well, actually i am 15 , but there are not many bands today that can compare to the stuff back then.

 

You are truely enlightened at such an early age. When I was 15 I was listening to ABBA, Gary Wright, and Simon & Garfunkel. Took me awhile to make the jump from pop to rock.

 

at least you came through

 

Yeah, and I bought alot of Van Halen, Rush, Pink Floyd, etc albums TWICE - once on vinyl and once on CD. Even bought Van Halen "1984" three times (counting cassette). Sure was glad when 8-tracks bit the dust.

 

Neil Peart was awesome in the 80's, but he's evolved into somewhat of a splattery stylist lately. Lots of good drummers out there, and he still leads the pack based on his earlier work.

 

I recently added Rush, Areosmith, and Black Sabbath to my collection. Pretty good stuff.

Never did care for Willie Nelson or Johnny Cash. Mainly I listen to Cds not the radio because there aint nothing worth listening to on it. They dont make music like they use to. As for rap, I dont see how the first thing they do is thank God and wear crosses and yet all they do in their "songs" is cuss, get drunk and talk about women in an unppropriate way. They also need to learn to buy clothes that fit them. Well Im done rambling now.

 

Here, here! You said it Glory. If only the rest of America would wake up and reject rap... Oh well, I guess black women just want to keep getting degraded in those raunchy soft-core porno (i mean "music") videos:

"ryaneverk2]What happened in 1962, FarmForward? I'm too young to know, but I assume a famous country singer died... Was it Hank Williams, or had he already passed on by then?

Anyone here like Charlie Daniels Band? Maybe a little Devil Went Down to Georgia?

Hank Williams had died on January 1st, 1953, Ryan.

What happened in 1962 was that the Grand Ole Opry allowed drums to be played on its stage. With the advent of percussion, the beat began to be more important to the song than the melody of it, and "country" music headed into the territory of "pop" and "country rock". In my opinion, this spelled the end of "traditional" country.
