Clearly you have no musical taste whatsoever.

It's rare that I'm offended by a secret, but this really sours my grits!

[(Anonymous)]

alright

[(Anonymous)]

Snickered at "a whole bunch of other Keiths".

[(Anonymous)]

I want there to be a country band named this.

[(Anonymous)]

All the Keiths are bad but Tim McGraw "I Might As Well Be The Starbucks of Pop Country" is good?

Ugh, OP. Just...ugh. Please develop some actual taste.

[(Anonymous)]

MTE.

In what world is the bland, repeptitive mess Tim McGraw's turned into any improvement on, well, anyone else?

[(Anonymous)]

I think some country music is good and some country music is bad and I'm really kinda tired of trying to keep straight the social identity markers people try to overlay on those judgments.

[(Anonymous)]

this X 9000

[(Anonymous)]

This.

I'll always have a big soft spot for Tim McGraw because my parents were into him. That's a lot of what I remember listening to as a little kid. :)

Country music in general is in a weird place right now. I'd be hard pressed to say who I think is "singing in the country style" nowadays... Kacey Musgraves maybe, and Brandy Clark definitely.

(I haven't listened to anything by Rascal Flatts in years but I think your BS might be an insult to Nickelback.)

[fingalsanteater]

Toby Keith is just so deliciously '90's. I love him. But really, you don't like "Should've been a Cowboy"? That's a classic. I can't think of any Tim McGraw songs right now, but I know he has a few I like-- even one or two of his pop-country ones. Rascal Flatts is worse than the Nickleback of country.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I'd forgotten about Should Have Been a Cowboy. I admit, that one's good, but when I think of Toby Keith, I think of Brought to You Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue.

[(Anonymous)]

I can't hate on Rascal Flatts but only because they were one of the few radio play groups back when I listened to country that actually did some harmonizing other than baby's first adventures in harmonics. But I'll always prefer Diamond Rio.

Fun fact

[(Anonymous)]

Jon Bon Jovi is in super heavy rotation on the "country" station in my town. As GBS' Alan Doyle once said to them, "The "country" music you play today is all of the great "indie pop" music I listened to, growing up."

Yep.

[(Anonymous)]

Your B!S made me laugh because I have two unopened CDs of theirs that some cousins I don't know that well gave me as generic birthday gifts on different years (they're fans, I guess).

[elaminator]

I never hear country anymore unless it's on a playlist I'm listening to, but then again that's how I hear most music these days.

That said, sometimes I miss country. A lot of it was crap (there's lots of crap in every genre, though), but there was good stuff too.

My parents like it. They don't listen to music like they did back then, but I heard a lot of Hank Williams, Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, George Jones, Patsy Cline, etc growing up and I'm still fond of it. (I love the Fallout soundtracks SO MUCH.)

[(Anonymous)]

I am very old, and have been listening to classic old country music all my life, and an awful lot of Nu Country makes me want to drive over a Stetson or something. But I do kind of like Tim McGraw!

So +1 to this secret!

Image: Tim McGraw

Text: My mother listens to country music all the time. Not even good country music, like Reba McEntire or Merle Haggard, but Toby Keith, Keith Urban, and a whole bunch of other Keiths I’ve blotted out of my mind. Up until high school, I thought I mostly hated music, because I heard so little that was listenable.

The one thing I don’t regret about it is discovering Tim McGraw. Now that I’ve heard actual country, I feel like he was one of the few popular country singers who was still singing in country style, as opposed to generic pop with vague country underpinnings.

(I looked up reviews of his recent stuff, and apparently he finally went into “scrambling for relevance: mode, but is now coming out of it. Good luck to him!)

BS: I am convinced that Rascal Flatts is the country version of Nickelback.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm cracking up at the Rascal Flatts thing. It's true!

[(Anonymous)]

I only like old country so I agree, though I'm not into Tim McGraw except for the fact that he has a ridiculously hot body and I like singers who also act.

But you are sooooo right about Rascal Flatts. They're even worse than Nickelback but both bands can go to Hell.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't enjoy country in general. I have an enormous amount of respect for some of the songwriters--Dolly Parton, obviously--but whether traditional, or Nashville-pop, I don't seek out country.

(Except Alison Krauss and some of her collaborators, because wow.)

I can agree that Rascal Flatts is pretty much what people accuse Nickelback of being. I don't even hate Nickelback (I don't care about Nickelback), but Rascal Flatts is tiresome.

[(Anonymous)]

These people are not real country. Maybe you should try some Sturgill Simpson or Jason Isbell. They might just blow your mind.

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

My patriotic pride is hurt by your criticism of Keith Urban... But I don't listen to his music, or much in the way of country in general, no matter what nationality it is.
