[QUOTE="Bek, post: 516195, member: 3478"] I agree with pretty much all the ones you posted. Now this is probably going to open up a can of worms, it usually does. It's been said that country "died" when Garth came along because he was too rock for country. (I probably wouldn't listen to any country if it wasn't for him, personally). Now, if that's true, then country was "dieing" way before then, because it was already taking that form. The thing is though, many of those who we now consider traditional artists, were considered too rock for country. Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, are ones that come to mind. Elvis started country, but then he was rejected by the country audience, so then he went Rock N Roll, and became the biggest artist ever. My point is, country WILL evolve, whether we like it or not, just like any other genre. And whether people like it or not, Garth Brooks is the biggest thing to come out of country music. Sold over 120 million records in the United States alone, brought 1 million people to NYC for one concert. You can't argue with that. But then again, that's only from what I've read, and listened to. And I'm young, so how would I know any better. [/QUOTE]
