(21,046 posts)I can't stand shitkick. Idiots with a clothespin on their nose singing about how they ran out of beer, their porch fell off their house and killed three coon dogs, their pickup got repo'd, etc. etc. and they wonder why they are depressed?
I live in a place where people listen to country and they probably are all clinically depressed. Also, on Sunday they give money to a preacher telling them they are worthless filthy sinners b/c they are not perfect like Jesus.
That "family values culture" is pretty damned dysfunctional.
I like Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson because they have good voices and are not nasal. Then they call it "new country" or "country rock" if they throw in an electric guitar. They're still committing pedal steel guitar abuse and whining.
I agree with you about Mariah Carey being awful. I refuse to listen to anybody new. I am always horribly disappointed because there is nothing new in the music and there is no complexity to hold my interest.
I didn't like Led Zep in 1969 and I still am not impressed. Too much screaming and too much distortion.
Brian May of Queen is tasteful in his distortion. He doesn't lose the pitch totally and I can always tell when he is noodling within the chord he is on.
