I quit listening to what passes for "Country". I made a DVD (Double-layer) of my music collection which includes classics, big band, and good country from 1940 to late 1970's. There are 2400 songs which, at the rate of 2 minutes per song, provides me with 80 continuous hours of very good music. I gave my radio to the local animal shelter. Animals don't listen to trash either so they sell the radio to people without taste.

You know when radio stations played cd's, it was like thay had about 20 greatest hits cd's and put them on random play. They have mp3's or whatever now and they still only play a few of an artist's hits. There are a lot of songs they could play but don't either because they don't know about them, or they are not allowed to play them.<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Jon Moen on 07 May 2006 at 08:11 PM.]</p></FONT>

...SHEEEEEESH!
Seems like everybody's dissin' my set list
Seriously though,
"Adult Contemporary" sickeningly sweet stuff that gives you diabetes listening to it.
Any singer that does the operatic "warble" (I'm talkin' to you, Céline)
Anything that's already been played in the previous 12 hours, no matter how much I like it...

If I hear Harry Chapin's "Taxi" again it'll be too soon, even if I did once see him in concert. At the concert it was his cellist that did the falsetto part. I could probably sing that too if somebody kicked me just right.
Nobody's said "Proud Mary"... As ubiquitous as it is, it must be it's on the "approved" list... <font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Ray Minich on 12 May 2006 at 01:39 PM.]</p></FONT>

Hold on a minute here:
All of you know elevator music __ well, this is music to flush, by. Rap crap (for one) was made for this occassion.
The latest news today is that all 50 states failed to meet the "no child left behind" standard set by the federal government.
Imagine the number of nitwit drummers coming onto the scene. What else can they do?

Stupid pop themes about an artist’s lifestyle or experience, severely overplayed, like . . . “Jet Airliner”, “Piano Man”, “Takin’ Care of Business”.

“No Child Left Behind” is an absolute failure for the simple reason that it is an Un-Funded Mandate. Let’s give our young people more credit & instill more self-confidence. It isn’t their fault that schools lack resources to pull this off. A lot of schools have to discontinue music & other art forms, thanks to NCLB, which doesn’t help the many with learning disabilities either.

You are correct. It's the parents fault. If parents had to pay, up front, for at least one-half of the child's tuition, the schools would have as much money they need. And, they would soon stop dumping their bedroom mistakes on the public school system. Can you say r-e-s-p-o-n-s-i-b-i-l-i-t-y?<SMALL>“No Child Left Behind” is an absolute failure for the simple reason that it is an Un-Funded Mandate.

I cannot bear to listen to the Garth Brooks song "Friend In Low Places". When and if it comes on the radio I start pushing buttons. Just about anything new today gets me turning to another station. Our local station plays older country with singers like Conway Twitty, Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette and others along that time line. They even play some back from the 50's. That being said, that means I get to hear a lot of steel guitar which is why I listen in anyway. I can let John Hughey, Hal Rugg or Buddy Emmons put me to sleep every night.
