His last two albums have been mint. I always have to listen to the albums like 8 times before I can tell if I like it or not.

Brantley Gilbert wrote a lot of his songs. I'm glad Brantley Gilbert has gotten his own career going because he is awesome. I got to see him live before "Country Music Must Be Country Wide" became a hot single and propelled him to super stardom.

His album is pretty solid. Theres a couple of soft songs, but they're catchy.

Brantley Gilbert has written exactly 3 songs that Jason Aldean covered.
The fact is, most Country musicians don't write their own songs. Nashville is notorious for that shit. |

I like a couple Jason Aldean songs. For the most part though, he sounds like most every other guy that's "broken into" country music over the last 10 years or so. A lot of twang and just singing a shitload of songs about the south and how country they are.

May not be original or anything, but some of his songs are awesome for driving around in your truck or getting hammered with your redneck buddies.

There have been a few of them especially recently, but I have to say I prefer them to the Rascal Flatts/Keith Urban/Hunter Hayes pop music style that seems even more prevalent.

I've only heard a couple of the songs, but they were pretty great.
I heard part of "The Only Way I Know" yesterday with Luke Bryan and Eric Church. I loved what I heard until I went under an overpass and lost satellite signal. |

It all seems fake. I'm sure the guys are very "country" but Jesus Christ, singing about how country you are and how much you love country and stuff... it all just comes off as trying to please the "simple folk".
And sadly it works since they seem to all be successful. It's like they're going out of their way to fit into every stereotype that country music has had for ages. Southern/redneck pride is one thing. It's become a parody of itself though. It's basically all you hear anymore. |

I wanna write a song called "I'm So Country My Dog's Got a Truck" and watch it skyrocket to the top of the charts just because it has a lot of rednecky references in it.

#1-wwf-fan, we should discuss country music together some time. Perhaps on a a certain kind of night...

Justin Moore is the current country guy I can't determine if I like him or not. I can listen to him when I'm drunk, but he is one of the guys going with the "Badass Redneck Whoopin' Pretty Boy City Slicker Asses" theme.

I seriously can't distinguish one from another anymore. Often times when someone mentions a name I'll just wikipedia their discography to see their songs. Gonna do that right now...

yes, i said it about this musician. but i did not say that about actors. actors are meant to act. writers write. sometimes someone does both at once.
some musicians just sing, some just play an instrument, some just write, some do all of them. some are yoko ono. some excel at their one thing that it diminishes their lack of 'musicianship' in other areas. it's almost a case by case basis. it is not a be-all end-all rule of my 'respect'. that is why this is so ridiculous. you are taking this one instance of me not having full respect for a country singer and basing my stances of all actors/producers off of it. |

At no point was I even bringing your lack of respect for Jason Aldean into things. In fact, I went out of my way earlier to make it clear I wasn't defending him or knocking your opinion of him but knocking the broad statement that singers need to write.

This was what I was talking about. Jason Aldean never came into my mind with this. Just this statement.

Got it. Justin Moore. I remember not minding "Small Town USA" as much as most of the songs like it. "Backwoods" was everything that makes me facepalm while listening to current country music. Haven't really heard much from him past that.

Judging solely from the titles of those songs, I will never listen to his music.

"Back That Thing Up"
He even covers the even more annoying "Trying to be 'hip but rednecky' by using hip hop slang" genre that that fucker Trace Adkins started. |

On the "Honky Tonk Badonkdonk" vevo page on Youtube, it has Justin Bieber and some white chick who looks like she is tripping on acid for the background. |
