Just a technicality, but both George Jones and Patsy Cline were "pop" country of their day. They only became "old country" when they got older and the music changed. What we prefer in music is usually from our "heydays", respectively.
I consider most things after Garth and Shania went rock-pop to be pop music. Some of it is still good. Just have to pick and choose.

Sure it was. "Pop" = popular. And that is exactly what I mean. What was popular at the time - what was on the charts. I don't know when they came out with the term "pop" for anything. Country was just country (even though I grew up on bluegrass and Texas swing), and rock and pop were the same. Then there was soft rock and hard rock. Now there's like a genre for each person on Earth.

I'm right with ya there, man. I remember the first time I heard a "country song" with RAP in it. I hadn't listened to much of it for quite awhile, but after that I was done completely. Just because they wear a cowboy hat and sing with a twang does NOT make country music. It makes POP music sang by some little generic, cookie cutter wannabe southerner. I think it sucks to high heaven. I'd rather listen to PINK.

I don't really even remember where I got it from. It's actually okay music to me. I'm more of a Beatles fan than any of their individual work. Paul McCartney stayed on the charts for awhile throughout the 70s and into the early 80s. I had friends or I should say acquaintances who would get stoned and go to blows over who broke up the Beatles and which one was best. Dorks

I like Lennon better than the cute one. Even though his politocs sucked and his second wife was crazy as fuck. I always thought showing Cynthia and Yoko in one of those "This is your brain. This is your brain on drugs" would have been quite effective.
