What are you talking about. I grew up on that stuff. That and classic rock was all my dad listened too. I got mad at "country" right around the time Garth Brooks came out. There's been a few exceptions since then, of course.

I guess it is really hard to like Jason Isbell, Sturgill, etc. before they're a known quantity.

Good call, idiot.

Pop was a category. It's the worst genre of music out there. The Wood Brothers are more Americana than pop, but that is better than anything else that would show up in that spot.

Ryan Adams covering a pop diva might suffice. Forgot about his cover of 1989.

 

[Mossip]

Pop music is catchy and awesome, and anyone who disagrees is a pretentious kill-joy.

Time to shake you off, imo.

 

[80 Proof]
