Can you believe country once didn't suck?

Given how successful the country music industry was in cashing in on 9/11 and the War in Iraq, I can't really fault it for sucking. Tobeh Keith is worth way more than he ever would have been as a pre-9/11 country music singer
I was never a huge fan of country, but I had a few songs in the 90's that I liked. Like much of the rest of mainstream music the writing effort is just not there anymore...and as DoK said, it's because it doesn't have to be. Why try when the public will eat up whatever you feed them?

Willie Nelson son.
Still listen to his old ass songs.
Do you have it on the same playlist as Hookastank and Lou Bega
Of course not, you have to earn your way to that list.Do you have it on the same playlist as Hookastank and Lou Bega
I love country. Me and Darius Rucker are probably the only Niggras that can two step.
I'll drink to that .
What are some particularly bad examples? I unfortunately don't know that 's discography well. Does he sing about making sand niggers take off their rag and wave our flag?Given how successful the country music industry was in cashing in on 9/11 and the War in Iraq, I can't really fault it for sucking.

Wow. Do they get worse?
I was raised on country music and that old stuff is great. It does suck now but it's not because of Toby Keith. You guys might be too young to remember but it was Barf Brooks who changed it all; there had never been a country star who attained the global success that he had, he's probably still the most successful country artist to date. He crossed from the country niche into pop-rock, and by the end of the 80's every country singer had to sound like him if they wanted to be signed to a label, and guys who didn't sound like him dropped off the face of the earth. Pure country music doesn't have enough of a fan base on it's on to maintain the big $$ the industry saw with Garth Brooks, so they have to dilute it with sounds that have a wider appeal, they did it with pop and now they are even trying to cross into rap, and it is effing atrocious!
Album in my avy is good country. Wilco, Johnny Cash, Ryan Adams and a few others don't suck. I really just listen to Alt-Country. Everything else is kind of lame.
I don't blame Garth Brooks for ruining country. The 80's were full of saccharine poppy country songs. Most of Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton's stuff basically went perfectly with Air Supply.
, this piece of hit #1 on the country charts in the 80's. Try to get through a minute of it. Just try. Then tell me you wouldn't rather hear "Shameless" or "Friends in Low Places" a hundred times.
I like Keith Whitley, Blackhawk, Steve Wariner, Vince Gill, like that.
Well I'm not saying Garth Brooks sucks, or that no other country music sucked before he showed up. I'm just saying that his level of success completely changed the country music industry to where the only way to be successful was to have a similar sound. That's when we stopped hearing the old style country music that most of us will agree was great.
Tractors and beer drinking FTW.
I can appreciate some stuff from s like Willie, Johnny Paycheck, G. Strait, J. Cash, G. Jones, W. jennings, etc... Old school, I guess???? Meh
It's the repulsive line dancing, pop-country, bull that ing blows. "artists" like t. keith, m. lambart, k. urban, cross canadian yada yada yada, ford colt, etc...thats the that I can't stand. And what's with all these male singers who don the k urban look with the shoulder-length hair and the ing streaks? They're suddenly a dime a dozen.
And yes, that from t. keith "its the american way....uncle sam...put a boot up yo azz" absolutely sucks donkey ass. But I can certainly see how one can successfully feed this to sand-negger-hating-crackers. Easy $$$$
