Here's the thing.....everyone on here spouts this and that about country, hip-hop whatever.
I like music, I don't really care what the genre is, if it has a good beat and it is pleasing to my ears I like it. I like reggae, rock, country, blues, rap, top 40 and I listen to it in stages. If I get tired of one thing I will listen to another. Some songs stand the test of time: Beatles, AC/DC, Rolling Stones, RHCP, Johnny Cash, Toots and the Maytals. Others you listen to for a month and you never want to hear them again.
Wes mentioned Sturgis Simpson, great artist but to me he is more blues than Country... Who cares, he just sounds good and I like it.
Bottom line can we not just like the music because. I like Kenny not afraid to admit that. Is he Country? ...I don't think so he is a mix of top 40 and Jimmy Buffet, but so is Zac Brown and I like his music as well. Will it stand the test of time who knows.
Bottom line I like it all, except Dave Matthews...fuck that dude.
