Wrong, wrong, and...wrong. There's nothing close minded about hating certain types of music. Take metal. for example. It's a shitty genre and barely even passes as music. I hate country, too, because it's just ridiculous and worthless. I'm sure you despise boy bands, because they're retarded, but nobody's going to call you close minded over it. They're simply going to realize that having a good taste in music includes writing off shitty music.

Nope. Boy Bands are not a genre, but part of the pop genre. And if you can singlehandedly write of all pop music then YOU sir are a fool. I don't listen to much metal, but I don't say I hate metal because I'm not ignorant enough to believe that metal can't be good under any circumstances. What bout Black Sabbath, who are some ways the first metal band. That certainly passes as good rock. The Sword? Stoner metal though it may be, its cool fucking music. Buckethead is awesome. Primus is essentially metal turned on its head, and while I'm not crazy about Primus I wouldn't certainly see them live anytime and can say nothing negative about the talents of the members.

I'm certainly quick to write of shitty music and condemn those who like it, but I've found the more music I listen to, the more music I'm ABLE to listen to as I can find things worth liking in all styles of music, whether or not its one that instantly appeals to me.

And yes Ruffles, check out Do Make Say Think. Thier "Winter Hymn Country Hymn Secret Hymn" is well worth a blind buy.

Basically, if I hate 99% of the artists I've heard in a genre, then I have no problem saying I hate that genre. Maybe there's a few good country artists, but guess what? The genre as a whole still blows.

And what difference does it make that boy bands aren't a genre? Call them and their style a sub-genre, a category, whatever. I'm sure most of y'all write that sub-genre, category, whatever off. If you can write that entire thing off, and it's okay, then what's the problem with me writing off a genre? I'm just writing shit off on a more general level.

And seriously, metal fucking sucks.

There isn't a "few good country artists", there are many. I don't really need to list them, do I? The mainstream stuff is a fairly small part of country. You obviously have little to no experience with that music outside of hearing some random song on TV or the radio, so lay off with your claims that country "blows" until you actually know a little about it.

Also about boy bands, it's the same as us writing off commercial country and rap (boy band is just another brand of commercial pop). Both are subgenres, both are of different quality than other parts of those two larger genres. There's a big difference there.

Like I said before, if you actually have heard the good stuff you can say that genre sucks (and be able to argue effectively). Otherwise you are arguing about something you know nothing about and look rather childish right?

Anyway, Patrick Wolf – Augustine. If you haven't already, I recommend you download the leak of his new album.

Oh man it's leaked! I thought I still had to wait. I'm extremely happy, I really loved his last album.

I never said we had to discuss songs ALL THE TIME, but this IS a song thread. Also, I had not seen the Hip Hop thread at the time I wrote the part you quoted. Now I did, and I'm listening to The Roots as I type. Seriously man, calm down, I didn't do anything to you.

So there may well be "good" country artists, but by what standards? Mainstream country I ignore entirely because my brain cannot handle that shit, but alternative country I've given more of a chance. I've done my research, and I've sampled appropriately. And yet, there's still minimal country artists I enjoy. I can stand Jenny Lewis, Neko Case I can at least appreciate, and I'll enjoy a few other technically alt.country songs here and there, but in all actuality, there's so little I can stand that I don't think it's a particularly outlandish statement to say that I don't like country music because, well, I don't. I have no pacience for any of the aspects that make a song "country." Particularly any sort of twang.

That was then, this is dumb.

andgoodbye - Well obviously as I've said twice now, you've done your research, so you can really say it isn't a good genre. And with the standards thing, who decides pop country is bad? I haven't found a whole lot of bad artists in the alt-country genre really.

Yes, I just felt the need to say something anyway *shrug*
I guess mainstream country would be "bad" for about the same reasons as any mainstream music could be "bad." I think it's still equally subjective, but I've written it off even more completely because I personally cannot tolerate it. I've found more redeemable qualities to alt.country stuff, it's just still still can't stand to listen to most of it. Mm, it feels like I'm starting to repeat myself, so I don't suppose I need to continue much further.

jiroach6, there is better country-esque stuff than is so horrifyingly prevelant throughout the south. I've always lived in Georgia, and I still tried, against my better judgement, just to avoid musical ignorance. I know what you mean, though. *shudders*

Damn I shoulda gotten in this discussion earlier. I think you can hate a genre all you want, but to write it off as shitty music is idiotic. Just cause you don't like it doesn't mean that as a whole the music blows. I don't like noise music, but I won't discount the whole genre. There's just nothing I've heard to change my mind on noise music is the only reason I say I don't like it, but I don't doubt that there's nothing else out there.

Back to the topic of the thread:
Buddy Guy's cover of Junior Kimbrough's "Baby Please Don't Leave Me." Electric blues at its best. It's the song that plays at the beginning of the movie "Hustle & Flow."

EDITED TO CLARIFY

Yeah, usually those months can be counted on to be like the month of March with movies - all the junk that the studios were afraid to release during award season.
