The Duders (?) Worthy Fuckin' Dude Awards 2010

Yeah, he's considered "country" music over here (and some of it is VERY country), but thanks to some of his more upbeat stuff like I listed, they got a lot of crossover success on the top 40 radio stations.

I'm guessing even that isn't enough to get country music played outside of the US though!!!

Well, to be honest I never was a fan of country music, but it is sort of popular in Poland, where I come from (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piknik_Country) and my parents used to watch it on telly every year. I know nothing about it, so maybe it's only what Poles believe to be country music, but I think they have some performers from the US as well, so maybe it's not all that bad
The bottom line is: I think that music composed by people (not computers) and performed using musical instruments will always be better than some fuckin' Lady Gaga or what not. Plus, with Zac Brown you can clearly see that we have intelligent people who know what they want to say and how to say it, not some popopopopoker face, or umbrella ela ela eee eee. That's only, like, may opinion, of course.

Now I don't rate Lady G, but in this one sentence you write off Kraftwerk, 808 State, Jean Michel Jarre, Japan, Joy division, even Mike Oldfield!

Now personally I really quite like these people (Musically that is).

try this for quality:

Well chilled out. (and I'd forgotten about Tomita as well).

Any way I like it.

Mike Oldfield? Come on, dude! He can play more instruments that I can name and composes it all on his own. Rest of them, well maybe except for some Jarre's work, fits to my previous statement. I'd like to make it clear that it's just, like, my opinion, man.

Edit: BTW. My mate used to be a great Oldfield fan and I always pissed him off by saying that Oldfield with his talent and potential should be playing guitar (maybe also something else) in a rock band Something like John Paul Jones maybe. He didn't like it at all...

Personally I can deal with any style of music (apart from Country and Western).

Seriously I listen to everything from latin plain chant, through classical to rock, heavy metal, to dance (but dance in a club not at home, I dont see the point of that).

[jakubol]

My musical interests are not so broad, although next to rock and heavy metal, which are at the top of my list, I also dig some jazz and classical music. I don't like combining rock and symphonic music, though.
What I really don't like is rap or hip hop (I'm not sure about the difference). Somebody wiser than me told me that it's barely a music, as you should have rhythm and melody (and something else I think) in music, and rap/hip-hop usually has only rhythm. If it has melody it's mostly in chorus and it's stolen from other songs. Again - only my opinion, man. Anybody likes it - I don't mind.

(but dance in a club not at home, I dont see the point of that).

Yeah, It's like watching porn without wanking. What's the point?

I still jerk off manually. But I haven't tried licking a bowling ball (I have my standards).
