What years are currently used the most at classic country stations?
Are the 60's still getting any airplay, or is it mostly 80's and 90's?

Horror of horrors, indeed.
I know that every generation has a different view, but I really don't think that much of this new stuff will be around as classics in the future. It just doesn't seem to have the staying power that artists of years past delivered. That goes for most genres.

I still stand by my premise that REAL country music died the day the Kentucky Headhunters jolted my filaments with "Walk Softly On the Heart Of Mine".
I remember reading about Garth-free radio some years ago. But I've always liked "Friends in Low Places". "Longneck Bottle" and "Two of a Kind, Workin' on a Full House" are also good songs.nmoore6676 said:As for Garth, I used to avoid him but now find my self enjoying his music at time, not all of it. I don't think that I shall live long enough (I'm 68) for the same to happen for Taylor Swift.

I don't care for "If Tomorrow Never Comes", "The Dance" or "The River" but there's no reason I couldn't live with them.
I really dislike "Shameless" and "Ain't Goin' Down" and absolutely despise "The Thunder Rolls".
I have developed a taste for "Rodeo", which I used to hate.

Rap - Rollin in my six-fo (as in 64 Chevy) sippin on gin & juice. Frequent shout outs to other rappers.
Country - Drivin pickups & drinkin beer/whiskey (basically in any new "country" song these days) Obligatory shout out to Merle, Hank or George who "would be proud." ???
Not too different. Just a corny version of living in the hood with my loaded gun, drankin & smokin with my crew. Haven't heard any raps about Grampa or tractors, however... ;D
I can't watch videos at home, but I'm betting this is about "You Never Even called Me by My Name", which I heard going home yesterday.nmoore6676 said:Lancer said:Country Rap. I thought that was wrong on so many levels at first glance, but there are parallels:
