[@richgrimmett9993]

The 90s is the decade of the best country music. We were spoiled rotten for a good 10-15 years. Even some legends like the Hag and the possum were still making great music. There is no such thing as country music radio stations anymore. So I will stick to you tube and live in the late 80s and 90s the rest of my days.

This is real country I've been a real country fan all my life but my dad was real country and I grew up listening to my dad's music we traveled a lot. I was a DJ while I work my way through the police academy so I can stand some power rock music but that's about all power Rock😅 there is a close relationship between country and power Rock they both tell a story story and they're both a form of the blues

[@greggosnell3200]

[@patrickhenderson1017]

It's nice to hear someone with similar views!! No one ever gives credit to the late 80's to early 90's era. Country had its greatest sound during this period, as I argued once in a college paper! It had just figured out how to refine & get that perfect sound --not too pop but traditional sounds remained dominant! It died when Garth & Shania's sound started forcing Country to change it's sound.
