Its is sad what has happen to country radio. But I also remember my dad bitchin about how Garth Brooks wasn't country
. I think every generation has "their own music" but the music of the last 6-8 years on country radio is just pop music talking about bud light, tractors, and mud tires.
Now all the songs sound the same, literally.
Like anything else making music is just about making money to the big record companies, and the more charts they get the more money they make. Im afraid its just going to getting worse with time. The small independent radio stations are either closing up or getting bought out. Where I live now we dont have any independent radio stations. Where I grew up there is a couple still on the air and they get to pick and choose what they play and guess what? Its not unusual to hear Jamey Johnson, Cody Jinks, and other "traditional" artist. The only thing you can do is spend you $$ on what you like to listen to and dont support the crap you cant stand.
Now for your listing enjoyment, the most country song in all of history (my opinion)
