I can't listen to the country music that's currently on the radio. Not for any stuck up or fanatical reason. It's just bad. Horrible sound Brooks & Dunn were one hell of a duo. Of your list of country singers, I too enjoy Garth Brooks... although something about him personally I don't like for some reason. Shania Twain used to be great. Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under is a good one I still listen to every once in awhile lol Randy Travis isn't necessarily one of my favorites either, but he's covered some great classic songs . He and Josh Turner did a concert together about 10 years or so back. They did a great duet of Long Black Train, Three Wooden Crosses, and King of the Road. I'm not going to lie... I have also always had a man crush on Tim McGraw and like most of his music from the 90s and early 2000s. I like most soft rock and many of the bands folks have mentioned in here but if not fanatical by any stretch. I liked Green Day when I was younger, but the more I listen to the actual lyrics...not so much.
not a thread the young guys were too interested in but if any one of you is still reading or following i just wanted to share this this is what genius is and its the reason you hear us old guys speak w the emotion we do about these old bands it had never happened before and i guess its never going to happen again thats a real fucking shame but we were there as it came out in all its glory we may be dinosaurs but we had a seriously great soundtrack to our lives, still do a couple of new york jew junkies that changed my life
fagan is/was one of my favorites steely dan, obviously but listen to his solo albums if you haven't already "the nightfly" is one of my personal faves
it just so obvious watching him talk about how he puts those songs together the guy is light years ahead of most musicians absolute brilliance and i do like his solo stuff just dyed in wool Dan man here from the first song i heard i had chills and i still do
the last live show i saw was the complete royal scam with larry carlton at the now defunct universal amp to say it was transcendent is a massive understatement took my daughter and we literally held each other through the show and i was openly laid open emotionally the beauty of the art these guys created is devastating the drum drop in this song just tore me up on some basic level
imo their greatest album used to get stoned and listen to it non-stop just hearing this song... i can smell stale bong water lol
