OCMS isn't country pop. That's completely absurd.

You can't equate OCMS with Tim McGraw

Cooked crawfish at my brother's house Sunday evening and OCMS's version came on my iPod. My brother then said "who fricked up wagon wheel?"

There is nothing even remotely "poppy" about OCMS. That statement is laughable. They could go back in time and play a concert in the 1930's and fit right in.

Now regarding Rucker's version, I am not a fan. The first time I heard his version was a youtube vid of him playing it live with only 2 guitars and a fiddle, and it sounded pretty good. He's got a great voice and I don't think anyone can debate that. BUT, his version is over produced Nashville Pop style....the drum beat in particular annoys me.

yeah, I get it now.. I think...

OCMS isn't my favorite or anything, but to call them pop country is a horrible description of their music

That backwoods hillbilly-ish music laid down the foundations for most music we listen to today...but live in the present, bro! It's ok

Jeremy mccomb's version was the first I heard and probably my favorite.

When I heard that Hootie was covering it I said that it will reach #1 and be a big hit. Sadly, i was right. You can't go between the three BR country stations and not hear it.

I have much respect for hootie. That said, he fricked up wagon wheel. His version is awful.

You have no "song" without the OCMS version. Simple props for crafting the song from a long ago demo. As for Rucker's version it is a big seller, the kids love it, etc. just a matter of taste. No need to hate on it.

Plenty of reason to hate. It sounds like shite. Like someone actually took shite and placed it into my ear

I'm not pissed because it gives the writer some $$$. I hope DRuck gives credit to him every time he sings it. Duder does have pipes...
