Over my dead body.

[Em7add11]

I have decided that without a doubt, country music is probably the worst style of music in the world. I can't listen to it for more than 2-3 minutes before I'm ready for self-immolation. I know it's completely a subjective opinion, but country music pains me. :teeth:

What's one style of music you absolutely cannot stand?

[Solly]

Modern "classical" music.
Grunge rock.
Bimbo pop

[Em7add11]

Modern classical? :huh:

[Solly]

Schönberg onwards.

[dizzle]

I gotta agree with you about country. Ughh.

[Em7add11]

Oooh, so you mean the hacks that make the atonal, non-musical music? I've always thought John Cage was the musical equivalent of the tailors in the story "The Emperor's New Clothes."

[Solly]

That's them

Over hear we have a dedicated BBc Radio channel for classical music (Radio 3). but you can't listen all the time cos of the avant garde stuff. yecch.
Perhaps cos I'm not American I can listen to C&W from time to time. I tune into AccuRadio now and again and listen to it.

Read somewhere:

"Excuse me, do you have any music here."

"Yes Sir, we've got both kinds. Country, and Western"

[Pilgrim]

I'll give you the only two reasons I can stand to listen to Country Music....Faith Hill and Shania Twain.

Music I cant's stand at all? Gangsta rap and Marshall Mathers. That guy is aweful. His lyrics are pedantic, his rymes suck, his meter is forced and most of his music is robbed from everyone else.

But what about their musical abilities?

Gangsta rap and Marshall Mathers. That guy is aweful. His lyrics are pedantic, his rymes suck, his meter is forced and most of his music is robbed from everyone else.

But other than that he's fine? Come on Pilgrim, do you like his music or not, be clear.

I've heard some Eminem songs that I thought were ok. Lyrically the songs are pretty sick, but the music is pretty standard boom-chicka-boom rap music.

I heard a great mash-up of the lyrics to "My Name Is" and the guitar riff to "Black in Black" once upon a time. That improved the Eminem song about 200%.

[Captain Ochre]

What, just one?

Modern country is almost uniformly irritating, but I actually do like "country music" in terms of the style of music. The country-rock outfit Poco did some great stuff, and Rusty Young's use of pedal steel guitar was inventive rather than trite. Pure Praire League also had some good moments. Allman Brothers, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Outlaws . . . all had elements of country, but I like their music while finding myself intolerant of almost all modern country.
I have no problem at all listening to the Hellecasters (Fender-dominated instrumental "country" combo).
I absolutely love Dan Hicks' music, but some people find his brand of folk/swing uncomfortably close to country.

Most forms of Rap are not music, afaics. Add some music to rap, and it's not that bad (I consider the latter generation of hard-rockers who incorporate rap stylings in their lyrics).

[Em7add11]

I like classic country, which usually falls under the heading of "western." Johnny Cash is amazing, but Garth Books is grating. Roger Miller has been growing on me lately because his voice is really good for the storytelling kind of songs.

[yxboom]

What is the difference between Country and Western?

Shania Twain and Faith Hill are the reason I would listen to country music.

In the ways of gangsta rap pretty much anything West Coast like Ice Cube, Easy-E, DJ Quik I can handle.

Anything metal and beyond I can't stand. Britany Spears and her buddies I can't stand. Anything pre-teen pop *groans*

[GrayPilgrim]

Any form of Rap, stinks. As do lounge music and elevator music

I like older country music(my parents listened to it whoile I was growing up). I like blue grass as well.

But I'll listen to speed metal-->classical

[$cirisme]

Elevator music, rap, and all the sickening secular music.(such as Eminem)

Country's okay, but I don't listen to it often.

[Sozo]

I originally started going to church because I was told they play country music in hell.

[Xmansmommy]

Sozo, I'm crying from laughing so hard. That's hilarious! :rofl:

:yummy:

Did you see the Far Side cartoon, where the people arriving in heaven were handed harps and those arriving in hell were handed accordians?

As to the original question, I can't stand Rap in any form. Country music is lyrically banal rather than musically offensive IMO. Have you noticed how many title lines are based on puns?

[Rubia Warren]

I don't like country music.
I don't much care for rap...'cept a few songs.
I don't like most christian music (but I love black gospel)
I can't stand where "rock" went after the '80s
And I don't like Paul McCartney or Bob Dylan.
I can't stand Britney (except I'd like to have her abdomen)
or any of the other pop artists
I am turned off by any song with cusswords in it.
and the #1 on Rubia's hate list:
Mexican Ranchera music.... Mexican Banda music..... one sounds like polka, and the other sounds like circus music..... and I hate the band Los Temerarios. I'd rather lie on the couch and let someone drill a hole through my skull than listen to that freak whine.
EW! And Enrique Iglesias, too. Another whiner.

[Em7add11]

I like Azul Azul, sometimes.

[nomad]

Read somewhere:

"Yes Sir, we've got both kinds. Country, and Western"



isn't that from the blues brothers?

'are you the police?'

'no ma'am, we're musicians.'

[dizzle]

I used to show horses... and man the country music was everywhere and uggghhhhhhh!!!

Everyday, someone should do a true belly laugh, and I just did. Thank you Sozo!

[djnoz]

I like drum+bass, metal, and J-POP.
heh... i'm scared now :eek: :eek:

[Epoetker]

Not even a lifetime of videogames could get me to like J-Pop.

heh, that's what I thought, until a friend of mine introduced me to Gitaroo Man.

[Rubia Warren]

What is J-pop?:huh:

[djnoz]

Think of the most irritating Britney track you ever heard, speed it up, add a bit of 80s synth, loads more cheese, and a Japanese vocal.

That's J-pop. :rockon:

I think this might have been on the Blues Brothers.

I am like most of you; I hate country. I like all the old school stuff though; like Cash, Haggard. And if you haven't heard him, check out Junior Brown. The guy is like the devil on guitar. His guitar has a telecaster neck, and a steel string attached underneath it. He'll go from some Hendrix-like insanity (set to a country backbeat), and then pull a bar out of his pocket and do the most mind-bending stuff on the steel. All while wearing a ten gallon hat too.:teeth:

Judy and Mary
Megumi Hayashibara
Ai Orikasa - best voice I've ever heard.
Maaya Sakamoto
Rabbit
CoCo
Doco
Happatai

None of that is good music by any means (except Ai Orikasa), but it's still fun to listen to.

Stuff I can't stand...hm. most country, all rap, american pop, euro-pop, techno, rock, all forms of metal, virtually all CCM, punk, folk...I think that about covers it.

Oops! Forgot Tejano. Add that to the "stuff I can't stand list." And yes, I love Gregorian/Carolingian chant!

:shocked:

GraceInMe, you need to sing Shania Twain's "Any Man of Mine" to him. :wink:

[Hoser]

I'll pretty much listen to anything as long as the lyrics aren't vulgar or racial.

2 people I refuse to listen to are Eminem, and Marilyn Manson. These two individuals are very disturbed and don't deserve anybody's attention.

Eminem takes political issues (Monica Lewinsky & Bill Clinton)and makes them out to be trivial and funny, when they shoud be looked at as being wrong and immoral.

Marilyn Manson's lyrics on the other hand dwell on the kids of today being hateful towards anybody or anything that gets in the way of what they want, including parents!! He instills the feeling of hatred and brainwashes those that take his lyrics seriously.

:rant: :rant: :rant:

Thank you for listening to my rant.
