@@ogs1mpson609 I could stomach calling it pop country. But I grew up listening to Waylon, Mearle, Buck, Ernest, etc.and still listen to that stuff today. So that's country to me.

Zuma Dogg He isn’t all of those things. He isn’t talented. He isn’t interesting. He just isn’t!

[@samuelwilliams8560]

extramedium1 - Music is a highly personal taste, but speaking objectively for a moment, Luke is quite talented. He’s produced seven No. 1 singles on only two albums, and he has won multiple ‘Artist of the Year’ awards. Admittedly, this wasn’t his best material, but if you check out some of his other songs - especially “Hurricane", "When It Rains It Pours", "One Number Away", "She Got the Best of Me", "Beautiful Crazy" - I think your opinion might change.

[@Tamadrummer708]

Fantastic live performer, terrible mix.... I often feel that the sound crew for SNL don’t have nearly enough experience mixing a full live band, rock artists or anyone that doesn’t have a pop sound. It was like this with Greta Van Fleet also. Instruments are unevenly leveled and the vocalist seems to not be able to hear themselves, which is a shame for a national level show.
