General Music Chat

Craig, "Muskrat Love" is only one more reason that I HATE America (the band, not the country). Besides, that wasn't a Neil Sedaka song.

I was talking about the Capt and Tennille version.

Didn't realize it was a remake. Thanks for that!

Apparently it was a remake for America too. (I checked)

Amazing that this song was actually covered TWICE!

LOL

It is catchy and cute though.

Sorry. But it is.

I was watching Jules Holland on tv last night, & I saw an act that called its music "Death Jazz!" Some Oriental band. They were damned good, & I wish I could remember their name...damn...it sucks getting old...

To tell you the truth.. And I'm not trying to get a rise out of people. But I hate Country music. My whole family is very aware of it. It doesn't mean that I don't think Country musicians are talented. There are Country guitar players who can wipe the floor with my playing.

But the LYRICS!! Holy good God can they be awful!!

What about line dancing? How is it any different than the Macarena or the Hokey Pokey? I mean seriously..

That video is so wrong on so many levels.. You couldn't get me outta there fast enough. Achy Breaky Heart ?? Please. Gay.

But hey.. County music does have it's roots. Here's a classic for ya.

I love it when Country music people bring up their roots. There you go man. Nanners and peanuts and coconut trees.. Cherish your roots.

Just shoot me now.. I don't see how the music has evolved very much from that though. I really don't. If that song came out for the first time today, it would be a Country hit.

Oh man, when I heard that "Little Bitty" song... Just pull the trigger if I ever make it through the whole thing. My alarm clock went off one morning and I accidentally set it to radio-wake-up and that song woke me up.. I took the clock and shattered it to pieces throwing against the wall as hard as I could. I was soo pissed at the gayness I woke up to.

Country music lovers have NO argument against whining or nasally singing. NONE!! As in NOT ONE!!

I'm not saying those guys can't sing. But Country music PRIDES itself on the nasally whining. That's what makes the style what it is. Even musically. Whining fiddles and whining lap steel guitars.. It's SO whinny as a whole, that I just can't stomach it. It's actually more depressing than emo music to me.

My version of Hell would be having to listen to that Nanner song for eternity.

Just keep in mind.. That's my view on Country music. It's nothing new to the people who know me. I grew up having to listen to it. Think I'm bulls**tting?



That's a pic of me when I was a kid. Even though my favorite band was KISS, the country lifestyle was constantly being pushed in my direction. When I finally did get a guitar.. I had to hear "do you know any Country?" 50,000,000 times. Nope. But I learned all of Back in Black. Wanna hear Hells Bells?

Not a snow-ball's chance in hell would I ever be a Country musician. It won't happen. I'd sell all my gear before I'd ever do it.

Wanna have a lyric war?? I'm thinking Country would win out over emo. The lyrics can be more emo than emo is. And it's just as whiny and nasally if not more.

rykykay86, I'm sure you're gonna see this as an attack on you. But from what I can see, you're into blues and Grunge stuff. But you need to realize that there is a lot of awful stuff that happens in every genre. No genre is immune to being ridiculed in a lot of ways. EVERY genre has it's "Nanners" and "Itty Bitty's" here and there.

Don't make me bust out the Conway Twitty.

For the record, there are even some songs that we play in our band that I wouldn't lose a wink of sleep if I never played them again. Even Reggae has it's draw-backs.

I'll make you a deal.. I won't bust out the Conway Twitty if you don't bust out the Poison.. Deal??

hahahahaha please dont conway twitty me!!! i understand completely and i was never trying to start an argument about this. i can name at the very least one song in every genre from every era that i couldnt stand more than 5 seconds of.
