Music Thread Pt. II

The correct answer is Holy Wars. Or Hallowed be they name

I am pretty sure I am right but let's go - Your top five?

 

[ScaredStreit]

The correct answer is Holy Wars. Or Hallowed be they name

I'd probably go with Hallowed Be Thy Name-everything about the song is incredible. Holy Wars is awesome for sure but I prefer Hangar 18 by a hair.

The whole rust in peace album is amazing.

 

[Thrasymachus]

I have been listening to a lot of Simon and Garfunkel lately.



Dadada da da da, feelin groovy

I used to love music, especially groundbreaking new music or discovering an old song a friend suggested that I never heard before.

Now I am just happy when I stumble across a song that is halfway decent or, God forbid, someone suggests a Country song that I don't hate. Words that I never thought would come out of my mouth as I loathed Country music for most of my life.

That is how far my expectations have fallen. Usually that level of loss vs. acceptance was reserved for Meat Loaf, KISS, Foo Fighters, etc. songs.

Not the crap they play on Country radio

 

[Strummergas]

Folks here should check out Robbie Fulks, Charlie Crockett and Marty Stuart if they're looking for country sounds that is not at all like what they would here on the radio.

Just did a quick run through of a few songs, Charlie Crockett has a nice sound and I'll be listening to that a bit more but I didn't care for the other two.

Admittedly I don't know a whole heck of a lot about country, but it seems like it's too damn broad when discussing it. Seems like a genre that has gone through the biggest transformation over the decades when compared to anything else. Contemporary pop-country/mainstream is pretty much garbage and has such a similar sound/subject matter.

There is a pretty big rift in country music fandom these days. Nashville music machine vs. the Appalachia and/or "Red dirt" scene in Texas.

I will say that country radio is getting a little better due to the fact that there are mainstream acts like Jon Pardi, Midland and Chris Stapleton that get air time even though they have fiddle & steel compared to snaptracks & bass drops.

 

[13th Floor]

Saw them at the Rock. DC must’ve burned 3,000 calories during their set.

Yea I saw them at Staples. That show was ridiculous.

I like kenny rogers. Thats pretty much where my country music fandom ends.

There's a ton of really good country music if you get away from the pandering pop country crap. Actually, bluegrass is where it's at.

The Sturgill "Cuttin' Grass" sessions are awesome

Yea I like Sturgill. He's in my rotation.

Can't explain it but not a Dave Mustaine fan.

Was truly a shame that Riley Gale passed on many levels. They were terrific and the type of metal I prefer.

I've always found everything on the radio or tv to be terrible when I was growing up, not that there was too much on Long Island to begin with, so I never got into it. As I got older Johnny Cash opened the door, then I discovered Johnny Paycheck (in particular, Pardon Me, I've Got Someone to Kill and the whole murder ballad thing) and Ernest Tubb which really changed my perception of the genre, realizing it's more than what I had been exposed to earlier in life. I tend to lean more towards folk heavy things these days I guess, but so many people blend a lot of styles.

Did you see the Country Music series on (I think) PBS a while back? That was really good - and this rift goes way back. I never knew that Chet Atkins was instrumental (pun intended) in developing the Nashville sound.

After watching that series I downloaded Willie Nelson's "Red Headed Stranger" - that's a great album.

 

[Bones45]

nope

Really digging Charley Crockett's "Welcome to Hard Times" album. Great recommendation!

Glad you like it. I think he should be coming out with something new pretty soon.
