Rascal Flatts is actually very talented even if you think they are backstreet boys or not... I have heard from friends that they know how to put on a concert

"Here comes goodbye" by Rascal Flatts is an extremely crappy song IMO. It irritates me how it's played 3X a day on the radio like it's some big hit. I like some of their other stuff though.

Thats like their best song in my opinion. I gotta admit, rascal flatts is pretty good for a poppy type group. But I dont prefer to listen to them. I do really like one of their songs and thats Stand. I don't think it ever really was that big of a hit. I never really heard it on the radio. But other than a few songs, their music doesnt bother me too much. In fact all the guys you guys are complaining about dont bother me. Country music is the best music on the planet. Keith Urban has some skills as well. Then again i grew up on the 90's country and todays country.

BTW George Strait's new song Living for the Night is by far the best darn song out there right now! In a distant second would have to be either Darrius Rucker's 'Alright' or Brad Paisley's 'Then'. Nothing IMHO compares to George's new song
Also Gary Allan is probably my favorite country music singer. I've saw him and Kenny in concert together and Kenny put on a kick azz show but Gary Allan's for what he was working with was probably better.

My girl (at the time) dragged me to one of their concerts, and it was horrible. Gary Allan opened for them and he was 100 times better. RF only played a few of their top hits, and then ****ed around on the instruments for 40 minutes then it was over. I wanted my money back. They aren't even country, I cant stand them.

Garth to me kinda brought upon this "newer" stlye country. I mean think about Ain't going down...considered country but is it really? I mean you have the electric guitar and really fast paced song. Garth is awesome..possibly the best country song ever was sang by him, that being "The Dance". Garth is amazing, George is amazing as well. Garth, George, Alan JAckson...you cant go wrong there!
best one i could find
fast paced and has some electric, and its from 1984

Kenny chesneys old stuff is really good, his new stuff eh i dont really like it.
Eric Church has become one of my favorite artists, along with jason aldean and mongomery gentry(which ive seen in concert 3 times and are AMAZING) and of course im from tulsa oklahoma so I grew up to Garth Brooks. And carrie underwood is one hell of a singer and gorgeous, so no complaints there. But miley cyrus needs to go away.

BTW- I heard some one say something about an IDOL winner, Carrie Underwood is an incredible talent and I have seen her live more than once, she is in the Grand Old Opry for one reason: she is talented and she is the real deal folks, like it or not how she got there, she is a class act, one of the few of today's crowd, IMHO.

I guess country music had to evolve with the modern times and these new artists are the result...
Look at the original country of the early 1900's and see how it has evolved over the past 100 years..I grew up listening to Slim Whitman and the like but never really got into that music..
In today's standards, Elvis would be country but he was crowned the "King of Rock and Roll."
Def Leppard who have definately seen their better days are now with the country crowd??? The Eagles are on CMT all the time??? Who's next I wonder??
