Garth Brooks Makes Good Music

He's alright, but I prefer Chris Gaines.

Thank you, Garth Brooks. For speaking the truth.

The Beatles is the most overrated shit in human history and their fanboys are insufferable dumbasses who can't do anything but say "they're influential" when they're asked why they call them the best band to ever exist and they smugly refuse to listen to any modern music yet they think they know everything about music in general because they circle jerk one band from the 60s, you legitimately cannot discuss music with these retards. I've genuinely had 5 people across various music groups tell me that music today wouldn't exist without The Beatles. A fucking BOY BAND that only had to compete with gospel, country, Doo-wop, Big band, jazz and the very earliest forms of rock. I don't mind the beatles but my god I fucking despise their braindead circle jerking simp horde of a fanbase.

Gangstarap is fake and gay.

I genuinely believe Bruce Springsteen was acting like a poser when he made Born In The U.S.A, since he doesn’t even represent the blue-collar Americans that he supposedly used to care about. He’s far too rich and out of touch when one listens to his podcast with former President Obama of all people.

Lmao you're the kind of fag who actually uses "country" as an insult.

country music was better when the songs were about gunslingers or at least had an old west feel. hearing some faggot from Austin sing about driving his truck down to the bar and how much he loves his """woman""" is the gayest shit ever.

1. She left me
2. I got drunk

Yeah i've been on a classic music bender lately discovering the origins of today's shitty mainstream music and old country from the early-mid 1900s is actually pretty good and has something to say beyond "My truck-my dog-my woman-my horse-my tractor". What the fuck happened?

it was written by and for people who actually grew up in the country and experienced hardship and was heavily influenced by old folk songs. the faggots making it now (even if they're from the south) are mostly just LARPers who grew up 3 miles from a target and mostly influenced by generic pop slop.

in general though song writing has gone down hill since the 50s. i won't argue that music pre-1960 is all great or sounds better then what came after it, but just looking at the quality of the lyrics many of the songs are beautiful even without music accompanying them, they could be poems in their own right. Where as if you read the lyrics to a lot of modern songs (especially pop) you notice how shallow and cringe inducing they are.

I call all rap music from the uk urkel core because it sounds like its made by urkel niggers /geek niggers etc.

The mainstream is dog shit for sure but thankfully since the market is absolutely flooded with shit more and more people are flying solo and making what they want how they want without corporate overreach and shoe boxing. There's some legitimately amazing Indie bands out there now, my favorites are Calabrese and Gunship. their production quality is so good you'd never think they were self financed.

I never understood that mentality to be perfectly honest. Yeah, I get that the same songs night after night can get old for a musician, but that's what the audience wants. Someone asked Jimmy Buffett if he ever got tired playing Margaritaville and his answer was no for two reasons: one, that song has put a lot of food on his table over the years and two, it makes people happy, so why wouldn't he play it?

Reminds me of the story of Jani Lane. He was asked by a music exec to write a dumb single for the latest album his band was making. After scrawling some lyrics on a pizza box in 15 mins, Cherry pie was born. After writing Cherry pie he hated it so much he seethed about it for years and it's speculated that the popularity had a large hand in him drinking himself to death.

Tax: High quality audiophile setups don't really matter that much and mp3 is fine, it's not unheard of for bands to green light the master of their songs down a phone line.

The perfect country lyric:

"Well, I was drunk the day my Mom got outta prison.
And I went to pick her up in the rain.
But, before I could get to the station in my pickup truck
She got runned over by a damned old train."
David Allan Coe

Another Coe
"She said someday I'd understand
What love was all about
She said I could have the kids
She was movin out
Said she'd finally found a man

Who's dick was so much bigger
Then that scumbag motherfucker
Run off with a nigger

And to think I'd ate the pussy
Where that big, black dick had been
And kissed the lips that sucked him off
Time and time again
It's enough to make a man throw up
Sure is hard to figure
How any decent girl could ever fuck
A greasy nigger

He treated her just like a queen
She gave him all my money
It looks like the joke's on me
But I don't think it's funny
That pussy ain't worth payin for

As far as I can figure
Cause there's nothing quite as worthless
As a white girl with a nigger

And to think I'd ate the pussy
Where that big, black dick had been
And kissed the lips that sucked him off
Time and time again
It's enough to make a man throw up
Sure is hard to figure
How any decent girl could ever fuck
A God damn nigger
So for all you nigger lovin whores
This song is just for you"

Unsurprisingly, called "Nigger Fucker"

So you miss a day that never existed?

Are you really implying in the 60s musicians weren't political?

You know exactly what I'm referring to, you disingenuous little shitbox.

The Carpenters were actually really good even if the brother was a gay asshole and the sister was an anorexic who starved herself to death.

That said, the best cover of "Top of the World" was by these nip chicks.
