I am 21 and I agree w/ you whole heartily! The radio stations get a percentage of the money for playing the newer songs. They also have other "kick backs" coming in as well. God bless cds and records and especially the GOLDEN OLDIES STATIONS!!
Glad to see I'm not the only young person who feels this way. I am more of a Patsy Cline, Lorreta Lynn, Johnny Cash, Waylon, Merle, Conway,.....and many more, type girl.
Radio stations baned the song "Murder on Music Row" by George Strait and Alan Jackson from playing on the air. It makes you ask yourself, why?

I agree 100% with you. I am 52 and I think the best music is from like the mid 60's to mid 80's. There are a few new ones out there that will last but not many. Part of the problem is they are overplayed and people get tired of them. I like the songs that I can relate to and the ones out there now well lets just say they are too far over the edge for me.

There really hasn't been anything really good in years.
I'm 29 and grew up on classic rock from my mom and older country from my dad like Cash, Jennings, even some old Hank Williams Jr & Sr. , or rock like CCR, Zepplin, etc.
The closest I've been able to find to some artist similar to older country recently has been Bruce or Charlie Robison or Jack Ingram.

You just have to be willing to dig around to find them. Try "No Depression" magazine or the Americana Music Association. If you have Music Choice on your cable system try either the Americana or Singers & Songwriters Channel. NPR also has a lot of different stuff. Check with your local affiliate to see if they have a folk show on their line-up.
Unfortunately, Abba doesn't really fit into the genre the rest of those artists do. Sorry I can't help with that one.

They aren't making any good ones because Country ( as everything else in this world) is becoming a commercialized Peppy thing. If something makes money, it will be repeated, so country has become stupid... sorry.

artists are no longer. you have performers produced in a studio. songs don't last anymore because most of the performers take 5 words and keep repeating them throughout the song. songs used to tell stories.

Country music is not about music anymore, its the lights, beat and Chorography. Heart and Talent mean nothing, Flash and Pizzaz mean it all. And you wounder about songs like "Murder on Music Row"

Record companies want songs that make a lot of money fast, then move on to the next, THE NASHVILLE SOUND!

My good old songs go a bit further back--60's

because the producers in modern music lack the class and fidelity of the older generation.
