chutzpah Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I'll survive Some of these songs are actually pretty good more blues oriented and I can deal with it I drank some of that naptha stuff Birds in the trees singing and stuff,then they turned into bananas,then bats (multicolored too)and then they flew away (and took the trees too)All in my living room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earth-Angel Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I think I know 2 country songs, and for the life of me, I can't remember what they are. Country music is like going to a foreign country for me - it's nice when you're over there at someone else's place, but you barely think of it when you're at home Edit! I think one is about 3 wooden crosses, and the other is one of Edna's nominations. Y'all will have to wait for another week to see anything constructive outta me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuzikTyme Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I love your choices, Ron, and also the nominations made by others. I see an "O Brother, where art thou?" theme going a li'l bit and that fits well with this thread. I have the soundtrack and it's excellent. I never realized until I got it how many different versions of, "I'm a Man of Constant Sorrow" there were!...lol the instrumental version is kinda creepy and haunting but I love it. Below are just two of my all-time country favs. and one of them appears briefly in the movie. I am Weary, Let Me Rest ~ the Cox Family He'll have to Go ~ Jim Reeves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindCrime Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Don't Cry Joni - Conway Twitty featuring Joni (1976) This song brings back memories of my grandmother playing the record when I was a little kid. Need You Now - Lady Antebellum (2009) These are probably the only country songs I've ever actually nominated in the regular 10s besides JCash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindCrime Posted October 11, 2010 Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I'm thinking about changing one of my nominations to Mama Said - Metallica (1996) I'm not officially changing my nom to this yet, just considering it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted October 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 Does the Band's The Weight count as country rock? country rock, americana, etc .... it fits the theme. Thanks to Peaches, edna, & phil ... all of you nominated songs I was considering. Now I can choose another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky Posted October 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2010 I wouldn't have thunk it, but, if it's country to Kenne, it is. Everyone has their own ideas of what country is, and we won't quibble about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mean you actually, I meant we, more as me ..... I haven't listened to it yet, and was thinking along the same lines as you. I still need another nomination, and I don't know what. I have the opposite problem of most. I have too many possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lea Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I'm not surprised at all myself. I don't think there is any genre that hasn't covered a country song. Country is kinda like Rock and Roll. It will always be there and is built upon in one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skybluesky Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 I really take offense to that Lea . I said Senior, not Junior, as in Why Don't You Love Me Like You Used to, I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry, Kawlijah, etc. My mother listened to Hank Senior a lot when I was a child, so I am quite familiar with his music. He's probably the most important country artist of all time. I'm not all that young and I know a great deal about music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
