I know, odd question, especially on NS. That being said, we've been gettin' our redneck on while building, performing maintenance, and prepping camp for the summer season, and we've found ourselves jamming to a lot of country. IMO it's just good working music, especially some the older and more traditional stuff like Willie Nelson, David Allen Coe, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams Jr. etc. Of course we love our hip-hop and rasta jams for skiing, but we were just curious to see who shares our view on country. Share your opinions and favorite country jams if you have any!

Ya I find most of it to be really depressing. I prefer me some classic rock for when i'm just chilling or working on something.

I'm a big fan but I'm starting to dislike the depressing stuff. Upbeat country is the best.

I like all kinds of music or at least can appreciate it, I hate that new age shit. I like the classic country like Cash, Waylon, Hank Williams II, some George Strait.

Not really that big of a fan. The only kind of enjoyment i get from it is the party songs or the more upbeat songs. Other than that it just all sounds the same to me.

country music slays. most people who claim they dont like it just dont want to admit to themselves that there is some damn good country music. there is a stigma there "oh, i cant listen to country. its so mainstream and normal. how will people know im into hardcore underground shit?". same reason people pretend they dont like shit like lady gaga. ive been rocking out to kenny chesney pandora all morning. fantastic. now, old school country is definitely legit. willie might be the biggest badass of all time. but i fuckng love me some modern country. jason aldean, eric church, toby keith, rodney atkins, billy currington,

I would say i love country/western music. But the new stuff is just as stupid as rap. Most songs go like this "work work work, truck truck truck, beer beer beer, girl girl girl, fight fight fight, beer beer beer"  It just all sounds the same.

Great country to me tells a good story.  Corb Lund-Fire Burns low

We just might get Hank III some new fans out of this. Easily one of my top 10 live shows I've been at.

I actually love this song. I don't really consider it country though. I think it's more bluegrass?

I do love all three, but not every fucking country song has to be about the same god damn thing especaily if the whole medium is based off telling a story.

Female country artists sing the same shit too......these days its all revenge songs, or songs about getting cheated on. Just a pop version of Woman logic.

I don't usually listen to country unless I am actually in the country. Because that's the only radio station you going to get.

Some call the Bright Eyes country and I like them...but mainstream country just isn't really my thing. Not a fan, but to each their own.

The Avett Brothers is about as country as i get, and they really arent country, that being said i dont place entire genres of music into sucky categories, its all about the individual artist
