Yeah, that's not country. Almost everything called "country" these days isn't country. It really began diverging in the late 60's with "country rock," then really took off in more of a pop vein in the 70's, and has only diverged more and more, and become worse and worse ever since. As an illustration of how absurd it has gotten, this stuff now being labeled "alt country" is a great deal more authentically country-sounding the stuff in the mainstream being marketed as "country."Clutch wrote:Like I said somewhere else, I'm terrible at identifying genres, but that almost seems more like pop then country
Aw, come on, man. I'm not much of a Beach Boys fan, but comparing them to the Bee Gees is a total disgrace to them. You may as well have compared them to Hanson or somebody; there's just no comparison.Word wrote:I just can't stand the Wilson's Bee Gee-like head voices in most songs...
I don't know about that, but it beats the pants off of Sgt. Pepper's.Word wrote:(I know Pet Sounds is called one of the best albums ever made....)
I knew that Brian Wilson got depressive and seclusive because the album, some months ago I saw a documentary where he explained that he wanted to beat Revolver (wikipedia says it started with 'Smile'). This article here isn't about his mental illness but I thought it's a good read:Phytotron wrote:I don't know about that, but it beats the pants off of Sgt. Pepper's.

Er, no, that's not country with rock and roll touches. That is straight-up, classical, original 50's rock'n'roll and rockabilly. Now, early rock'n'roll, and especially rockabilly, was derived in part from country music (of the period—not to be confused, of course, with more modern "country"), but it was equally derived from western swing, the blues, jump blues, rhythm-and-blues, boogie-woogie, even ragtime and jazz to some extent. Of course, individual players employed more or less of a given style—e.g., Buddy Holly had more of a country flavor, Little Richard was heavy on R&B and boogie-woogie.Gonzap wrote:@Mkay: how the hell do you call that country!? this is country (mixed with some rock and roll touches) Jerry Lee Lewis - Johnny B.

Yeah, if and when I get around to collecting a few good examples.Phytotron, link to some pure country please?
Nope. That was a country blues standard the Dead and Crapton shat all over.Word wrote:Don't have any country song, but the early Grateful Dead could be close to it:

I also said something along the lines of "if you don't like sum 41, you won't like this." So you can't say it was unexpected at the very least.
