i like country music
you and i need to talk!
unless you mean the obscure kind of country that the creepy old dudes play on sunday afternoons on the college station....
i've developed a sudden liking for mainstream commercial radio country music
i like music. i didn't take what financeguy said as a joke, i took it as a attempt at trying to add some humor into fixing this rather dead forum. face it, this place is nothing but "what bands OTHER THAN U2 do you like" threads and top # lists. not to mention a couple thousand posts about the killers and interpol. a year or so ago, it was coldplay and the white stripes. appologies to the fans of those bands (hey, i like 3 out of those 4 i mentioned, something that seemed to get overlooked the last time i mentioned this), i'm not saying you jumped on various trends, i'm just saying that these ARE the trends here.
financeguy was hitting a touchy subject, apparently, for most people in here...everyone likes to believe that they are so eclectic, when in reality very few people truly are. and it's OK to only like one kind of music, but you're going to have to deal with the elitist music snobs of the world telling you otherwise. that's their problem. but however uneclectic someone is, chances are they may still really passionately love those few bands that they listen to. so that's where people take offense when someone tells them they don't really listen to music.
what the fuck...i'm rambling...
i claim to be pretty eclectic. and i also know i'm a snob. i'm also aware of the fact that there are people here with a more expansive music collection that encompasses more styles, eras, and genres than mine. i don't star threads here, though, because it's been my experience that very few people actually care what i have to say, even when it's a question.
