CMT doesn't play any Country Music. 90 percent of the schedule is bad reality shows, and the rest of the time it is music that is not country at all. It is bad pop music with a southern accent.

Heck, even Fuse (which used to be a great music video station) has become MTV lite...

There is difference between the Dwight Yokam (sp?), Garth Brooks, modern country bullshit that makes me wanna slit my wrists and good ol' country standards from greats like Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Kenny Rogers and Patsy Cline (to name a few).
If they do this, they just need to do it right.
Unfortunately, not off to a good start imo.

I suppose that makes sense.

The Animals- House of the Rising Sun
Steppenwolf- The pusher
Johnny cash- Ring of fire
Kenny Rogers- Ruby, or coward of the county, the Gambler.
if we are going rap- 8 mile
Tone Loc
The Stones -Paint it Black
Janis Joplin- Mercedes Benz, a little piece of my heart
Neil Diamond- You'll Be a woman soon.
guns n Roses- Mr. Brownstone, My Michele
I get knocked down But I get up again- dont know who sings it but I like it.
Chumba Wumba? maybe
poison- every rose has it thorn
white snake
ok ive rambled on long enough
Willie Nelson- any song he has the only good song on Guitar hero world tour. Ok survivor was good too but otherwise very disapointing.
How about add a piano- Ray Charles, Billy joel, Stevie Wonder, Bill Haley,

As far as "all sounds the same", you just described any person listening to any genre they are not familiar with.

It shouldn't even be CLOSE to the same category. Keep country away from rock.

How come the music industry is the only place where stars can be "sell outs"?
You hear this all the time from all those "who keep it real".

Come on, like, man.
Music is so, like, puuuuuuuuuure.
Every damn musician on the face of the planet totally got into it for the love. FOR THE LOVE!
Not that sort of love either. Nah, all that sex, drugs, and fame are nice bonuses, but they totally did it cause they dug the music.
*eyeroll*
Ironic, no?

Yes. Let's all limit ourselves to one music genre.
And only eat one type of food!

Just because it's there doesn't mean you have to buy it.

But seriously, how can they add country without adding more Coheed and Cambria????
I know why (they want to get those central America peeps) but I'm still being whiny about it...

You realize that the only Coheed song they put out as DLC was also a cover? It could very well be that they haven't been able to GET more Coheed and Cambria.
I can't stand the people who think that one set of releases for one week means that some other content got swept aside.
It was, has, and will always be about variety.
