Gothos- I listen to everything that's good, just not emo. I despise country, hip hop, and rap though. And jazz. Jazz sucks.

I'm not much for hip hop or rap but I do like a good country tune. Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, the list goes on of hard-drinking, hard-living, damn talented country musicians. They've got the "rock" in their music, if not the "roll."

Willie Nelson - Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to Be Cowboys

When I read that song title, I died a bit inside rodeo.

Die For Your Government -- Anti Flag

[RodeoRanch]

In a matter of speaking, country and western music was "emo" far before actual emo music ever appeared. A man's dog dies, his girl runs off, his truck breaks down or any variant of those things, that's a solid basis for a country song.

Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues" is a good example of emotional tragedy, in a manly fashion. The lyrics go as such

I hear the train a comin'
it's rolling round the bend
and I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on
but that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Anton..
When I was just a baby my mama told me. Son,
always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns.
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
now every time I hear that whistle I hang my head and cry..

I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
they're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars.
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
but those people keep a movin'
and that's what tortures me...

Well if they'd free me from this prison,
if that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move just a little further down the line
far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
and I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.....


Not that I'll change your mind or anything. I just like rambling on about stuff for fun.

@Rodeo How about Garth. He's a little bit rock and a little bit roll.

I'm not big a fan of Garth Brooks. His stuff is a little too slick, manufactured and pop for my tastes. But he's certainly a savvy business man. He nailed the market on catchy country pop tunes, much like Shania Twain also did.


Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Free Falling

For driving around on a summer day with the windows rolled down and the sun shining, there's no better music than Tom Petty to have playing!
