woah thats wierd,,around here 106.3 is rap haha talk about diversity in that lol

 

Wow. Wouldn't that be an oxymoron.

 

Listen to Merle Haggard on "wake up" Makeup and faded blue jeans" or "mama tried" Thats real storytellin emotional kick *** music.

 

Hank Sr. FTW

 

For anyone that dismisses new country; check out Jamey Johsnon. I read this whole thread and was saddened to see he wasn't mentioned once :/ He's the one who wrote Honkey Tonk Baddonkadonk. I like Trace Adkins; but he doesn't hold a candle to Jamey Johnson.

And for those saying they were around when classic country came out but are 16...do you mean classic as in outlaw country (ie; Hank Jr?) Or classic as in Hank Sr. / Loretta Lynn / Faron Young / Roger Miller? Because I don't think you were alive back then :P

For me it's all about the outlaw country though, Jamey Johnson / Travis Tritt for newer stuff, Hank Jr. / Waylon / DAC / J.C. / Willie for the original outlaw country

 

Jamey doesn't have much different of a voice than other deep-voiced country singers, such as Trace Adkins. But he is no doubt an incredible artist. He will have a successful career.

Is is wrong to like what came before us? How many teenagers listen to 70s & 80s rock? Hell, I have caught myself listening to 40s big band and swing.

 

Nothing wrong with that at all; that wasn't my point. I was just finding the thought of music that came out in the last 10 years (ie; 16 year olds being alive when classic country came out) a bit amusing. I don't usually tell people what they should of shouldn't listen to. Though I do strongly question people who listen to 'gangsta rap', yet are middle to upper class suburban home dwellers. But that's a whole other issue

And I think Jamey is more than just his voice. It's the type of music he writes. Listen to every song on his two albums and tell me that's not the case

Story of my life.

 

Amen to that. Anybody know some good bluegrass? Can't find anything like I want. I know the feeling also, i'm only 17 and can remeber songs back 10 years ago almost.

 

oh i totally know the feeling!! im 24 and remember when alot of the great hitds had just came out.. Heres one for you...i was playing some music at a dance we threw for our youth group and i thought i would play a couple hit songs from the 90's like mm bop(hansen) and a few others...And i swear you could hear crickets!! They all were like who is this? and why are we listening to them..? i know its not country.. but a funny story.

 

i started listening to country over the summer, now i always got my Sirius tuned to 60

 

I can agree with you there!!

Seems like guitar_deamon and I are the underdogs here. It'd be easier if I liked country since it's either country or the rap-pop-R&B-crap "variety" stations around here. I'm a fan of 102.7 The Blaze out of Mason City, IA or 103.7 the Crow out of Sioux Falls, SD because both of them have Harddrive XL on every night.
