Alot of the time when people discuss music they are always , i like so and so but i hate country.

I like everything except country........... I HEAR THIS ALOT!





Personally I like country alot.


Give these a listen

I don't like a lot of country but only idiots write off entire genres.

Honestly though Johnny Cash is about it. Maybe a few more lol but I can't really think of anyone else.

I don't go out searching for country songs, but if i hear a song i like then i like it, who gives a shit what genre it is

Excuse me but SOME people care about what OTHER people think of THEM.

because its made by redneck americans

^
Cash is the only 1 I've ever heard that I liked, dunno why

i love bluegrass music. i dont mind some country, but i find a lot of it too depressing.

False. That's like saying all metal is emo.

it aint bad

It's not that I dislike it per se, I just don't like it.

Because it comes from the shittest and dumbest part of America.

you like rap...

I liek country and rpp, I don't know many country songs though... Because it's not so populair.

i'm pretty sure i'd like it if i gave it shot

lolled hard at this, yeah ork you could say the exact same thing about rap and it'd be perfectly true lol

Country music in Australia has always been popular, especially given the rural nature of the country. Starting in the 1800s with bush balladeers writing songs of their tales of the bush, as well as songs of protest against the tyranny of the government. In the 1940s, the Slim Dusty embarked on a country music career that spanned over fifty years and over 100 albums. Smoky Dawson was also a country music pioneer in Australia, modelling himself very much in the traditional cowboy style, even starring in his own comic books and radio serials. In more recent years, artists like Keith Urban and Sherrie Austin have been keeping the tradition of country music alive.

Focusing its feel on lyrics, Australian country music developed it own unique style, mirrored by such artists as Lee Kernaghan, Slim Dusty and Graeme Connors.

The Tamworth Country Music Festival is an annual country music festival held in Tamworth, New South Wales (Country music capital of Australia). It celebrates the culture and heritage of Australian country music. During the festival the CMAA holds the Country Music Awards of Australia ceremony awarding the Golden Guitar trophies.

Other significant country music festivals include the Whittlesea Country Music Festival held north of Melbourne in February, Boyup Brook Country Music Festival held in Western Australian in February, Bamera Country Music Festival held in South Australia in June, the National Country Muster held in Gympie during August, Mildura Country Music Festival for solely "independent" performers held in during October and the Canberra Country Music Festival held in the national capital during November. Some festivals are quite unique in their location: Grabine State Park in New South Wales promotes Australian country music through the Grabine Music Muster Festival; Marilyns Country Music Festival is a unique event held in South Australia's Smoky Bay annually in September and is the only music festival in the world using an oyster barge as a stage.

Country HQ showcases new talent on the rise in the country music scene downunder. Australia has a 24 hour music channel dedicated to non-stop country music in Australia. CMC (the Country Music Channel) can be viewed on Foxtel and Austar and features once a year the Golden Guitar Awards, CMAs and CCMAs alongside international shows such as The Wilkinsons, The Road Hammers, and Country Music Across America.

Case by case basis. I'm sure most of everyone's preconceptions about country music are based off artists such as Toby Keith, Kenny Chesney, and other types of shitheads. This is reinforced because redneck Americans actually like these artists. I don't listen to country music, but I'm not going to flame it and down talk it just because of these types of artists.

Johnny Cash and other artists like him are in a different rank of country music than these newer faggots singing about how she thinks my tractor is sexy or how the love of my life left me in <typical redneck place>, or how their Ford trucks outperform every other sunuvabich in their little small town.

I don't like Country music but I do use some Country ideas in my playing, mostly the string bends and stuff.

Because its shit

Love Johnny Cash, haven't really listened that much to country, but old stuff like Hank Williams is good too

I like a bit of Johnny Rebel

LOL :]

Hating a whole genre is pretty ignorant imo, like saying you hate eating or drinking

Well when i ask why people dont like my kind of music (hardstyle/hard trance/hardcore) people just say its just the same thing over and over again/its noise/chav music. Its not until you actually become a fan or produce music that you realise how technical/difficult it can be to create.

I dont like it because im just not into that type of music. To me it just seems slow tempo'd, mostly acoustic guitars, about love etc. I just dont like it.

this isnt slow tempo lol

Most hardstyle actually does sound the same lol. I like other electronic genres but hardstyle is horrid

If you don't like a music genre you don't listen to it, which means you've probably only heard 5-10 "mainstream" songs. Of course they'll sound the same. It's the same for every genre of music.

It's a really stupid phenomenon.
