| 1427755 | 2016-10-23 22:54:00 | I'm not a fan of Country and Western Music - a very small portion is okay but the majority is not - but I understand it is the most popular music of all time.:waughh: I have heard it described as "mediocre music for mediocre people" and I think that mainly that is true. I was brought up with music from the 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s and very occasionally a country and western song would make it into the top ten. A good example is Jim Reeves' "He'll Have To Go." That was very popular in 1959. But mostly country and western keeps to the country and western music fans of which there are plenty. I have been to a country and western concert - I did not stay long - and thought they dressed like children in their cowboy outfits. Is that really necessary? Each to his own I suppose but I do believe that I will stick with rock 'n' roll. |

| 1427756 | 2016-10-23 23:15:00 | My thoughts as well. We had a down the road neighbour in the 70's who was mad on it. We would be invited to a BBQ and when we got there it would be a case of.... "Have you heard this one?" and on would go the stereo and a much worn LP would start scratching out some song about maybe " files on the cows shite behind the old barn door" Bluddy Nora, no wonder we always managed to find an excuse after a while!

Yayyyyyy!!!!! Have to agree. From 64 on when The Beatles and the Rolling Stones came on the scene. |

| 1427760 | 2016-10-24 00:16:00 | ..."Conniff Meets Butterfield".....that was it. | Richard (739) | ||
| 1427761 | 2016-10-24 00:19:00 | Couldn't agree more! I also like Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Monteverdi and many many others. Music depends on your mood, and your mood on the music. It was one of mankind's greatest genius moments. | Richard (739) | ||
| 1427762 | 2016-10-24 00:20:00 | What I hate is when music from one genre is re-released in another -- More often than not its a total disaster. Imagine if "Another One Bites the Dust" was released in country style :eek: :waughh: |
