Here's an interesting video. I don't listen to country music at all, so watching this video I was very incredibly surprised by how much it seems that he's correct, today's country music sounds 100% like just regular pop music sung by someone with an exaggerated southern drawl. It's kind of fascinating, actually.


As a non-fan of the genre I guess I can't really offer any analysis of his...err, analysis, or his determination that this shift in style is a negative thing. The only thing I would disagree with him about is that there's "nothing" connecting this poppy new music with what he deems to be more traditional country; even as an outsider I am very confident saying that the vocalization, or country affectation, is a key component of country music and unique to it. I'm not just talking about a "southern accent" (although true it is certainly very rare IMO for non-country music genres to feature any even remotely southern-sounding accent); it's a very conspicuous singing style that I think of as "croaks and squeaks", although there's probably a more formal and less-unflattering name for it. There is no country song I've ever heard that doesn't have it; and there is also no song that has it that isn't a country song. This new "blander" music still has it - arguably it's the only thing that still makes it "country".

I really hate lists like this, but I had to post this one because I freaking died over Joe Cocker's name being censored.


Also, magnificent songwriter yeah but Bob Dylan isn't even the 50th greatest singer "of all time" let alone the 7th and oh god I'm getting started let's just stop right here and now you know why lists like this are a plague.

Bob Dylan should not even be in the top 1000 as a singer.
Now as a songwriter ......., but that is a totally different list.
