Have you ever lost track of a genre of music you Really loved? And if so, have you ever heard one song and have you feel like you have come home? It just happened to me. I was watching Crazy Heart and the music just took me back when I was Country! Way before I got my rock and roll heart , I loved country music.So to hear the songs in Crazy Heart brought it All back! I hadn't noticed how much I missed it! My mom is the reason I love country music. She would listen to Patsy, Willie and Waylon! And Now I'm country all over again. Have you ever gone back and listen to a genre you once loved?

I never left country! Problem is...country has left country. So called "country" these days is disgusting, a total disgrace to country music. The performers are as bad and the songs. THe women dress like street walkers and the men dress like slobs and the lyrics are a disgrace to county, not to mention stupid, and so NOT country!
Waylon, Cash, Conway, Jones, McIntyre, Parton, Williams, and the list goes on...when they are all gone....so will country. There are none out there these days that come close to even lighting the match muchless holding a candle to the originals. Sad, sad, sad.

What they call country is not country. It is pop songs with a fiddle and maybe , just maybe a steel guitar addded! I miss Real country and I found it in Crazy Heart. Have you seen the movie? It has Real country songs in it!

Yeah you're right. They think it is "country" if they give a few words a twang and wear cowboy boots! Where's the stories, the heart-breaking, tear-jerkin', cheatin' songs! The songs about life and love and hard times comin' home to good times?! THese so called "country" singers today wouldn't know real country if it slapped them in the face! Hip hop..maybe, I call it hollywood country. Only reason it even gets the word country in it's "title" is cause that is what it is today. But real country...good grief, those that are gone are probably rolling in their graves and what it has become. THing is...listeners are missing out now and they don't even know it. I don't do movies much anymore. But glad it has good songs for you! Any Marty Robbins, Merle Haggard or Conway in there?

Yeah that happens to me every year or so. I all of the sudden get the urge to listen to some song that I used to really love and then go through a whole list of songs that I used to love. And it usually comes in spurts where I focus on that music for awhile and then all of the sudden fall onto another genre of music. Keeps me loving whatever I'm listening to.

For a long time I was a country fan then switched to light rock or the fifties for listening too most of the time....about two years ago I heard a country song called Anyway by Martina McBride and I have switched channels here too...back to country. For a while I thought all the songs were depressing and I would get bummed out just listening to the music! They have gotten alot more fun lately...like Farmer's daughter....love that one....and From a table away....etc

I'm going to show my age so forgive me in advance, but every time I hear Listening to the music by the Doobies I think of riding my school bus. The mid 70's were good times for me For a time. If I had a dollar for each time i sang You light Up My Life, I could buy your house for you, lol! Great era for music.

I love it all but I did start out listening to country. My b/f plays alot of it and it reminded me of how much I like it. He has introduced me to a lot of country bands since we have been together and one is Old Crow Medicine Show...my favorite is Rock me Mama....you have to hear it if you haven't before. I love it..lol. I heard it once and thought hmmm....then I listened to it once more and thought...I love it.

Although it is a bit embarrassing to admit, the genre I once loved was the 80's nu wave music. When I hear people talk about it today, they say that it was a downer, and the quality was not up to snuff. I say it is embarrassing because I am beginning to realize that I agree that it wasn't that good.
But when I hear it, it always brings me back to my first year in college. Back in the dormitory on a weekend. Forced to stay and watch dorm TV or listen to the radio, because I didn't have any money in my pocket to go out. But it always felt like home.

I love Nu Wave! The B 52's, Adam Ant, Duran, Duran! ABC and all the others were great! I don't care how others think about it , it was good , fun music. Not all music Has to be deep! In the 80's I had just got my rock and roll heart and MTV! So All the Nu Wave groups were great to and they still are to me.

I discoverd country music in 1980 and have not left! I did leave some of my first favorites like the Eagles,Steve Miller Band,Lynard Synard,Queen and Styx. I recently reindroduced myself back to them in the past few years.
With country music I like alot of the current stuff and some of the old. I love Johnny Cash,Waylon Jennings,Hank Williams Jr.,Hank Williams,Rascal Flatts,Alabama,Brooks and Dunn,Reba and Jason Aldean for examples!
