I agree on the fact that people conflate country music with contemporary stuff, which is more country-inflected rock than anything else. Check a short list:

That’s like saying only 50’s rock is rock, and contemporary music isn’t. The distinction doesn’t even make sense.

Artists grow old and die, new ones rise up. Culture changes and blends. Popular tastes shift over time. And thank god, because it all gets tiresome after not too many replays.

If you want to stick a label on it, fine, but keep in mind it’s only your label. Because if someone classifies a piece of music as “country” today, that doesn’t make them wrong.

“Music is Shit”, possibly one of the best songs of the 80’s…

As someone whose music inspired his mother to literally throw dishes around the kitchen while shouting “How can he listen to that, that’s not music!”, I should at least consider getting this.

Sounds like shit…

Do these songs sound like shit because of the recording quality?

Thanks to the movie “Crossroads”, I once tried to listen to some very old blues recordings, but it was impossible to hear the singer’s voice and the guitar. It sounded like he was singing at distance, while taking a bath in an old-fashioned shower, inside a freight train in a downpour.

Or does He really like real crappy music?

Either “Help, I’m a Rock” or “The Return of the Son of Monster Magnet” off of Freak Out!. Pretty innocuous stuff if you ask me.
