Woah woah woah!!! There Phil!!!
WHAT DIFFERENT OPINION? I am right with you on every one of those. I am missing like Hell all of those. Music meant more then, the singers sounded different, all identifiable,all legendary.
Just because I am breaking down these current songs and giving some opinions on them, doesn't mean that I am totally in awe of any of them. I think they are all interesting, but far from what I would consider classic writing or artists. In a lot of ways it is a little like contests, the LEAST SUCKY OF THE TOTAL SUCKINESS. I don't mean it quite like that, but I am not totally impressed with a lot of what is out there.
In what we have been talking about it beats the HELL out of ten million Bro country songs! I like things like Dirt and American Kids for their different subject matter, and characters.
But like you, that is much more suited to my style and what I listen to by preference.
I'm not that much younger than you guys are. I'm an old fart too. I just write with a bunch of younger people, so I have to think like they do as much as I can.
