This is insulting to McDonalds’ cheeseburgers, and I won’t have it.

Tell me you’ve heard Metallica S&M. Their most musically prolific album for sure.
Of course I have, that’s one of their live albums. They took a compilation of many of their best songs from various albums and played them, great album. Their worst album was St Anger… The snare drums… Ahdhahabdjjbrkaknab.
Interestingly (many people apparently don’t know this) the song ‘am I evil’ from their debut album “Kill Em All” is actually a cover of a song originally by diamond head. This is one of the few instances where a cover was actually better than the original
I dunno. I never really “got” them. Probably too musical. I was an angry little bastard which is probably why I really liked Metallica, Slayer, and a bunch of other crappy bands that never made it out of the '80’s.
Deep in the back of my music collection is probably a tape with Stormtroopers of Death on one side and Nuclear Assault on the other.

Yort I listen to all those bands other than stormtroopers of death.
Slayer is actually currently on its last tour. Did you listen to death or orbituary as a kid? (Bands)
I actually didn’t get to the potato until now lol - for w/e reason it didn’t render on my phone … thanks for making me feel like a dumb dumb though 
@SkyzykS I thoroughly enjoy the melodic metal of Fade to Black, but something about the bluegrass version’s vocals make the song more tangible to me. The unadorned acoustic instrumentality powerfully convey the lyrics’ everyday anguish.

On the topic of shitty music, anyone stumble across mumble rap? It’s staggering. I know it probably sounds like an exaggeration that anyone could do it, but seriously, literally anyone at any level of sobriety could pull this off. I listened to 2pac a thousand years ago and can’t comprehend how the genre morphed into this.

did you just call metal shitty music? I’m triggered
WHOA, no, I was referring to the country music discussion. I didn’t think the metal posts would be inferred as no one was calling it shitty.
I am a HUGE fan of classic rap. Not just Tupac/Biggie, but Slick Rick, Souls of Mischief, a Tribe Called Quest, Warren G, Pete Rock, the list goes on and on. It’s hard not to go ballistic when people attempt to mount serious defenses of mumble rap/trap music. It’s absolute horseshit, there’s no lyrical content, even the beats are retarded, and all the rappers are kind of mumble-singinig now, with the lyrics falling predictably on every beat, because unlike Kendrick Lamar or a couple of other rappers floating around right now, they don’t have the creativity to engineer an advanced flow.
TL;DR Mumble rap eats goat ass

Yep … main ‘era’ I listen to is from '88 to '97 (whenever Forever was released)

In terms of catchiness, I can make it up to the early 2000’s, but yes - the golden age is absolutely that time frame.
Same here - I was getting into acts like Pharaoh Monch, Lupe Fiasco, early Kanye, and Little Brother but then I lost interest somewhere around '08-'10

damn man …that’s a trip down memory lane right there.
Of course you don’t understand if you’re in NY! It’s not so much that I’m like Uncle Rico; some of the songs remind me of high school and it makes me happy. It’s not the part about being in high school. It’s the part about having no job, chilling with close friends, drinking heavily, and having absolutely nowhere to be.
I miss the irresponsibility of my youth.
I also grew up in a small town and routinely drank at bonfires or in barns.
Now I live in city with almost 400,000 people (I know, small by some standards) and spend most of my work days in the hood with entitled, selfish, disrespectful, worthless human beings. It really makes me miss those bonfires.

I know, that’s why I understand that it’s just something I don’t understand - plus, I’m ripping on shitty country music, and don’t listen to enough to know what’s good and what’s not. There’s good and bad music in every genre, I’m just a salty Northerner living in Virginia now.
There’s a lot of poppy country now. There’s also Zac Brown Band and they have a southern rock thing going on. Hell they have songs played on country and rock stations here.
I think Florida Georgia Line is supposed to be bad country but I have to admit that it can still cheer me up and have me singing along… even when I don’t want to.
90’s country is the best. George Strait, Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson… those were the good ones. Kenny Chesney is legendary in the industry but he’s always had a different sound than those guys. He’s all about the Caribbean life.
