Country Music


Jean Valjean

:kaukau: I'm not huge into country music, but it's probably from lack of exposure since leaving my farming community. I wouldn't mind moving back someday and getting back into their music, though. In the meantime, my favorite country is easily Johnny Cash, my father's favorite and arguably the greatest legend of the genre, and I like a few other iconic country songs that you've probably heard of even if you're not into country music. Here are a baker's dozen of them.

  1. A Boy Named Sue (I've decided to memorize the lyrics to this one)
  2. The Ring of Fire
  3. Man in Black
  4. Hurt (although this was a cover)
  5. Coward of the County
  6. Country Roads
  7. Leaving on a Jet Plane
  8. Thank God I'm a Country Boy
  9. Love Story (So sappy, but so good. I miss when Taylor Swift did country music.)
  10. You Belong With Me
  11. My Maria
  12. Beer For My Horses
  13. People are Crazy

modern pop country sucks, there's a lot of good outlaw country and alt-country and southern gothic/gothic country though

 

also Johnny Cash is, of course, a legend

You've got three John Denver songs on here. I approve.

 

I also have a soft spot for "People are Crazy." While you don't have any on the list, I also love me some Brad Paisley and I don't care what that says about me.

:kaukau: If you look up "Country Music" on TV Tropes, they start off their article with a Brad Paisley quote.

Have you listened to any Garth Brooks? I recommend "The Thunder Rolls," "That Summer," "The Dance," "More than a Memory," and I think I'll leave it at that for now.
