Same could be said today about Keith Urban or Taylor Swift. They are good musicians, but their music is too pop for me. .

I'm not hating on the guys I listed above, but our parents were probably having the same discussion (although not on a internet forum) about how those guys were "ruining country" and turning it into "pop." Pop in mainstream country is nothing new, its just more prevalent now.

Dunno....my parents were listening to Glen Campbell and Hank Williams both.


My main beef with the current crop is that they all seem to right about the same exact things, like following a formula. Whatever you can say about the artist you mentioned, at least they all sounded unique.
