Country music is a popular American musical style that began in the rural Southern United States in the 1920s.[1] It takes its roots from Western cowboy and folk music. Country music often consists of ballads and dance tunes with generally simple forms and harmonies accompanied by mostly string instruments such as banjoes, electric and acoustic guitars, fiddles such as violins, and harmonicas.

Country has become so generic lately, you can't tell who's who since it all sounds the same, particularly the male artists who like to sing about their trucks. That's why I prefer the older acts, like Willie, Waylon, Johnny Cash, George Jones, Kenny, Dolly, and Glen Campbell. Each of these artists I listed has their own unique style and you can identify who it is the moment you hear one of their songs. -- Submitted By: (JayD) on July 1, 2012, 11:30 pm - (2 votes)

Never cared for country in any form, although I do find it puzzling that it is so popular amongst my suburban friends. Probably because of the recent pop influence. -- Submitted By: (BBulaga75) on June 14, 2012, 7:18 am - (1 votes)

I really wouldn't consider Kings of Leon country music at all. It's more southern rock/country rock, which I think of as more closely tied to the rock genre than country. -- Submitted By: (kingbk) on November 6, 2011, 4:14 pm - (1 votes)

Oddly enough, in spite of living in a region virtually my whole life where it's prized, I never really got into it. Still, some classics like Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton and Merle Haggard will always rock with me because their lyrics and styles are timeless and transcend an incredible amount of the human experience! I also admit that I like some of the newer groups like Lady Antebellum and Kings of Leon. -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on November 5, 2011, 12:32 pm - (0 votes)

I do listen to a lot of modern country music, but I do know that most of today's country is either more closely related to rock (i.e. Brad Paisley and Blake Shelton) or pop (i.e. Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, and Rascal Flatts). -- Submitted By: (cartooner) on November 3, 2011, 6:59 pm - (1 votes)
