While Arrested Development didn't have a lot of hits I did dig "Tennessee."

 

Horseshoes!

I would just place Country Music in general on this list.

I'd have Johnny Paycheck, Gordon Lightfoot, Phil Collins, and Reba McEntire on the list.

 

Ahh...Phil Collins. His music was terrible, and his feud with Noel Gallagher from Oasis was always good for a laugh.

 

Apparently in the late 90's, Collins promised that if the Labour party won in England, he'd move out of the country. Tony Blair won, and he followed through - moving to Switzerland. Then in 2005 when the Conservatives were campaigning for a political comeback, Noel Gallagher was quoted at a Labour party rally as saying, "Vote Labour. If you don't and the Tories get in, Phil is threatening to come back from Switzerland and live here — and none of us want that." There's a campaign platform if I've ever heard one.

 

Another note...dude divorced his wife by fax.

By the way...where's Michael Bolton on that list???

Your musical taste is disturbing at best and possibly indicative of a serious mental illness.

 

I have never intentionally listened to any rap or hip hop song. I have occasionally overheard some of the garbage emanating from my son's bedroom and it caused my ears to bleed. I don't stray too far from 80's music. Pretty hard to improve on it.

 

Not sure how you question anyone's taste in music then make the statement in bold.

I certainly agree with you about the rap/hip hop. I call rap......."Crap" bc to me that's exactly what it is.

80's music was decent but I was a child of the 70's and I like that music. Alot of those carried over into the 80's. I still listen to 70's music along with some Bob Seager and maybe some Springsteen.

Other than occaisionally listening to that I am now 100% country. "if it ain't country, it ain't music", LOL.

That may be the most disturbing thing I've ever read on BGP. And I sometimes hang out on P&R, so that's saying something.

 

I hear you!

By the way...where's Michael Bolton on that list???

 

He's #3.

A lot of rap is "crap"...so I agree with you there.

 

However, I also feel like most country these days is crap as well.

Creed was MUCH too low on this list.

 

Creed is just plain awful.

He's #3.

 

Haha, I guess I missed it after I got all distracted by my hatred of Kenny G and ICP. :lol:

I didn't see Jimmy Buffett on that list.

You speaka-da-truth.

 

Most of the "country" music you hear on the radio nowdays is as formulaic as any of the top 40 trash you hear being pumped out by all the American Idol and Disney Channel clowns.

 

Most songs start off with a cheesy electric Fender guitar lick - often times sampling and harkening back to an old folk song, southern ballad or battle hymn from days past. Then, in comes the singer with his references to his boots and/or cowboy hat, discussion of life on the farm, a reference to serving God (as understood by Christian Americans), talk about his "high school girl" and how crazy her dad was. After that comes the refrain, where the lyrics hint to how country folk know how to kick back and unwind like no one else - often involving references to cheap beer or whiskey, removal of the aforementioned boots as to relax, and an optional reference to kissing or making love to the same girl as was mentioned earlier in the song. Other optional reference points for lyrics include: pickup trucks, tractors, hunting, fishing, military service, tequila, horses, and high school sports.

The list would have lost all credibility if Vanilla Ice wasn't on it ... still not sure that #8 is high enough, but at least he's there.

 

Word to your mother ...

Haha, I guess I missed it after I got all distracted by my hatred of Kenny G and ICP. :lol:

 

I agree, all thee (Bolton, Kenny G, and ICP) are terrible :lol:.
