Important distinction to be made here. There's decent country--and then there's the stuff they play on the radio. FWIW, I dont listen much to either. But one is respectable and the other appalling.

> But one is respectable and the other appalling.That could be said about every form of music. Country ranges from the legendary Hank Williams material all the way to music for pickup truck commercials. I'd take Harlan Howard's "Beyond the Blue Horizon" (with a lot of great covers available) any day of the week over some of the tripe that has been passed off as serious classical or jazz. No form of music has a monopoly on either greatness or garbage.
For better or worse, much of the music and radio business is about making money and there has never been a lock-step relationship between popularity and quality, though they are not mutually exclusive, either.
