Opinion: Modern country is the worst musical genre of all time

Thank you @bdp24 and others for making something worthwhile out of nothing with this thread.

Rosanne Cash’s latest(2014 & 2018) Blue Note releases are a good place to start for anybody looking for good Country rooted music, Jason Isbell would be another artist at the top of my list.

Austin City Limits has Adia Victoria and Brandi Carlile two artists who will be my next big music purchases.

Ken Burns Country and Jazz docs are worth the time and effort or at least they are for me...

Personally I will take what the OP @bhagal has described as worst music genre ever, modern Country music, over with my least favorite music genre any day and everyday. Antebellum Southern romanticism themed Country music and the symbolism that comes with is at the bottom my list and is tied at the bottom with repeat a derogatory word over and over Rap music. Death Metal is a solid second place holder for me, a little kindling to keep this "dumpster" fire going.

I’m a die hard Jazz listener, who was raised on Motown and Philly soul. But growing up I listened to Rock too. You couldn’t escape it, for that is what was played on the radio 24/7.

Jazz, for me, has never been the same since Bob Parlocha passed away David Basse took over with his own Jazz night time radio show here in the Midwest, thankfully, but it is not quite the same. Quick question, Bob regularly played a song that contained the lyrics "Dust under Tonya’s feet" any clue to who wrote and recorded?

@alexatpos  Thank you so much, Kurt Elling's voice inflections in the song are a great segue back to the great Country music artists who use only their voice and acoustic guitar to make a statement. And yes the original composition by Donald Byrd played in Dextar Gordon's "One Flight up" is a work of art...
