I don't understand how it's even fricking considered music.

Country
The best country is as good as anything, but some people simply will not listen to it under any circumstances

Tyggie, sounds like you've got it rated right.

Neither do I
That's why I don't consider it underrated

Even though you didn't mean to do so, you proved that rap and hip hop ARE two misunderstood genres of music.
The impression that a lot of people have of rap and hip hop is not the same as what they actually are. Country suffers from being misunderstood in this manner, as well.

And if you replace the word "Country" with "hip-hop", your statement would be equally valid.

Try some Gram Parsons, Steve Young, Townes Van Zandt or alt.country like Whiskeytown, The Gourds

Actually, I do like Cash and Cline.

I don't think so. The dumbing down of America has suited these two genres very well.
They lost me after De La Soul hung it up.

While I think there's miles of crappy rappers out there making millions of dollars, I like a lot of rap. I really like good wordplay and there's plenty of guys who still do that. Even Jay-Z admits in one of his raps that Talib Kweli is the greatest rapper in the world -- its a shame he's not famous.
For me -- emo. Or at least, early emo. Emocore was pretty great, and there was something definatly punk about early emo acts (showing up to a hardcore punk gig with an acoustic guitar is pretty ballsy). It's devolved into whining, but there were some great emo acts... just none of them want to be called emo.

No it wouldn't. Country involves performing with instruments requiring vast amounts of skill and practice. Producing a quality song live is much harder to do as a band than one dude rapping over piped in music. Songwriting is also often a lot more complex.

the vast majority of country songs are about beer and whisky...how complex can it be?

I wasn't talking about lyrics. I'm not a country fan at all, but the composition is a lot more difficult and performance takes a lot more to pull off.
And mainstream rap is way more trite and repetitive, lyrics-wise than any form of music today.

Mr. Robert Smith may be credited with the initiation of this ill named genre.
