Why Country Music Is The Best Music In The World! - Blu-ray Forum

pandys-box · 02-28-2010, 06:51 PM

Ok come on lets say it, it really is the best music in the world! Country singer/songwriters are the best storytellers bar none. In my opinion no other music hits you emotionally:- Garth Brooks 'The Dance' one of the most beautiful songs ever written but you try listening to Alan Jacksons 'Where were you when the world stopped turning' without blubbering like a little girl! The list is endless for amazing artists: Dixie Chiecks, Brad Paisley, George Strait, Vince Gill, Reba and on and on and on! The only thing we are missing in the UK is some decent radio and tv channels with 24 hr material, I've never understood why it's been so difficult for Country music to establish recognition here in the UK, when was the last time a country song was in the top40 singles chart, probably the Mavericks or something!

There are many other genre's that tell stories very well.

Irish Folk: Finnegan's Wake
60's Rock: Grateful Dead

Just two that are off the top of my head.

BTW, I also enjoy country music, but don't really agree that it is the best at story telling.

I absolutely can NOT stand country music.

Bluegrass..... well... that's a different story! Sam Bush and I get down all the time.....

Bob Dylan is perhaps the greatest country/folk singer in music history. Some county music is good, like Kenny Rogers.

Country music nowadays is just southern pop music. It's very slick and manufactured with no heart or soul. It's for soccer moms.

Give me Johnny Cash, Waylon and Willie anyday.

If only he didn't sing. It's great when other people sing his songs.
