pressed because rap is more global
I honestly couldn't care less.
I don't feel all that passionately about either genre.

No New Friends is a line that has appeared on all of the singles from "Nothing was the same" *.*
I REALLY hope a collab happens. They're my absolute fave collab duo *.*

"Everything but country (and metal)" is a cliche for a reason.

Lets put it like it is. Country sucks. Every song is about a damn boring pickup truck and a white blonde girl. I need a little more soul and flava.
Responding to cultural ignorance/generalizations with cultural ignorance/generalizations.
The cycle continues.
I hate most country, but most of my family grew up rural/farming so I can see where it is coming from.
Seriously though, I'm not culturally ignorant at all. I'm just stating my taste in music honestly. I find country music boring. That's not to say there isn't good country music, that's just me saying I find it boring and have never had an emotional attachment to a country music song. Maybe if I did grow up in the south instead of NYC i would be more akin to connect with country songs, I can't say.
As an aside I tend to connect with songs from artists who have personally fought through struggle and found success, and connect to songs that have personal meanings to me. For whatever reason I just don't connect to country music or country music artists at all.

lol I figured.
It was just the way you presented it.
I don't even like (non pop) country, but I feel the need to defend it because no one else will.
It's true, though. As someone who also grew up in NYC, I don't find that country music resonates with me. It's really boring, imo. Aside from the iconic country songs, and the occasional Carrie Underwood song, it just doesn't do anything for me.

I'm surprised.
Receipts needed.
I actually enjoy a lot of country music.
But I had some decent exposure to it. When I first moved to Philly 5 years ago a good friend and roommate at the time was obsessed with country music, and I listened to it enough with her that I actually began to enjoy it on my own. It's how I know who the Pistol Annies are. And I actually STANNED Taylor's debut album (I still maintain that she's utter shit now, though).
One thing I really love about good country is that it really emphasizes the art of storytelling via song. Really, no genre other than maybe Showtunes comes close to the level of narrative craftsmanship found in even mediocre country songs.
Although, a lot of people criticize country as being one of the least experimental of genres. From what I've heard, I'd have to agree. Country has a very specific sound, and if you want success in the market you don't venture outside of it.

There are plenty of good country artists (I tend to hate most of that the males put out). The Dixie Chicks, Martina McBride, Reba, Jennifer Nettles, and Lee Ann Warwick all have some great songs.
I can't really list songs since it has been so long since I actively listened to country music.
LOL this post is awesome. Keep the ignorance coming bro.
There is a Sugarland song I purchased once... I forgot what it was called, though. And I like that iconic Dixie Chicks song.
edit: The song was called "Love." Do they have more songs like that?

I am in love with "Stay" from them. Watch the music video. (I have yet to listen to the rest of their music so I cannot comment on it.)
The raw emotion is great.
Rih's Stay is the clearly inferior Stay.
Hi guys!
Hey there Delio sis!
That's a nice song, but not my cup of tea. And the lyrics are a mess!
And, I am looking at their newest album... which is a "departure from country." Interesting...
I agree, Stay's lyrics are terrible.

You can both leave now. Stay is flawless.
I also have a huge soft spot for Concrete Angel by Martina. I liked it as a kid, then re-listened to it a year or so ago. I bawled..... once you put the story together.... it is so damn depressing.

Shania is amazing, but I think any album she released would be a massive disappointment. So I am glad that it is probably never happening.
Good.
I wish I had more time to listen to music though. Been so busy lately.
I started listening to Baths recently thanks to Alex. Such a good guy. Im loving his album.
Hey, Delio *.*
I see you stanning for fairy type
I hope fairy is super effective against steel
Fairy type will slay every other type.
A Mess.
But Nintendo already did that with Birdo.
That was them acknowledging their transsexual fans.

New avatar, new queen.
I have a question for you folks. Mostly out of curiosity from a post-hardcore person. What do you guys, or the sort of 'pop circles', think of Johnny Craig? I know he put out a more traditional album, but he was always one of those guys, drug issues aside, that seemed to have crossover appeal to become a big star since he's got way more range than just about any other post-hardcore vocalist.

Respect is due to the Queen of pop
Around 100,000 tickets for the Mrs Carter Tour sold out within an hour – with fans forking out at least £85.
It was even better than we imagined. We have had it planned for two years.
We’ve had to eat a lot of fast food and we haven't had much sleep. But Beyoncé is worth it.
I just respect her so much. I am a performer as well and I can’t believe the way she sings and dances. I could see it again and again.
Everyone loves her because she seems really genuine, she is a great mum, a role model, an amazing singer and dancer. She is just beautiful in every way
UK just loooooves Bey
