OT: Anyone looking for Cape Blanco tickets?

One thing I like about country is that it's just every day music. It's positive. It's just good chillin music.

 

I thought this had something to do with the beach!

 

Modern Music I am into right now...

Wolfmother
Foofighters
Muse
The Black Keys
QOTSA
The Drive-By Truckers
Baroness

 

Almost all country sucks FYI...

Country died with Garth...

 

Foo Fighters and Muse are not "modern music."

You guys keep listing off shit that's 10+ years old.

 

Try some chris stapleton if you feel that way

 

I'm really into this new band..... maybe you guys have heard of them, Queen? I don't know... I think they have a bright future!

 

i have had the misfortune of seeing them live a few times through work. only cucks like this shit.

 

this im all about, dude can sing, and writes his own songs.

 

I'm not a fan. It seems fake and comes across as utterly emotionless and artless. And no, everything I listen to doesn't have to be heavy or super meaningful. I love fun music. I guess modern country just does absolutely nothing for me in any way. Opinions, I suppose. I just prefer to feel something when I listen to music and if I don't feel it, I'm done with it. I also understand other people have different likes and opinions so I would never judge someone for what they listen to. I just don't feel it. So it can S my D.

 

Feel good music. While im sitting on my back deck in the summer having a couple beers its good shit to listen to

 

I wouldn't say rock is dead but I would say that's it's considered culturally irrelevant. You're not allowed to want to get laid, drunk and stoned and write songs about it. I couldnt see a band like Monster Magnet being popular now. They'd be considered "dad rock" and "dinosaurs of male cock rock." Which is probably why Dave Wyndorf is beginning to resemble Marlon Brando in weight gain.

But you'll never kill that format. Bands like Clutch, Fu Manchu, Alter Bridge, Rival Sons, Halestorm will always exist. They just can't find radio stations to play theit albums or many promoters to book their gigs. I do find the Pitchfork Media clueless reviews of their albums, amusing though. Talk about a bunch of critics with their heads up their assholes.

 

bottom line, there is good music in every genre. there is good rap right now. there is good rock and roll.

probably arent going to find much of it on top 40 though.

 

Fair enough.

 

See... this is my problem.... I like their songs, but I don't understand this weird douchetastic subset of pop country.

Garth was the man.

 

Foo Fighters, Wolfmother, Muse, Garth Brooks, and the Black Keys are the only things I knew what the fuck they are in this topic.

 

and was probably performed last night unless you think Brian Setzer is dead....news flash..he's not..there are people playing rock in clubs all over the world every night...it's not dead unless tv is your main music source. If you can't find good rock and roll in 2016...you're just too lazy to look for it

 

As far as country goes, give me some of that Outlaw country all day. Willie, Waylon, Merle, David Allen Coe. I'm down with that. It's the same thing with any genre, once it goes on too long, it just kind of mimics itself to a point of becoming rather pointless. Same goes for blues and jazz, rock and rap, electro and funk. If someone is just aping the past and adding nothing new I probably won't listen to it. I have decades of classics that are better and had a meaning. I'm down for anyone though in any genre (and I hate that term) that is creating new boundaries in regards to music though. Give me that all day.

 

Steve Earl is awesome...I saw him a couple years ago in Eugene.
