And people who think "all country music sucks" have already ruled out these bands because on some level they are considered country music.

Growing up as mostly a metal/hair band fan, it was tough to get over the twang they like to use in the country genre. Once you'e over it, and you listen to a wicked guitar player (such as Paisley), you can appreciate that it's a different sound, and a good sound, at that. Kinda liberating when you discover that, eh?
I fully understand why some people hate rap. It's pretty different, and they say the stupidest stuff. Most if it is dick measuring garbage, but it just sounds good to me. I love it. The beat, the rhymes, the disses. I just like it.
Songs don't have to make sense to sound good. One of my favorite drunk songs is If I Had a Million Dollars. Listening to it sober, the lyrics are just so stupid, but I love the tune, and I forgive BNL for being lyrically challenged because they sound great even when they're singing a stupid song.
I think I realized that I'm no longer ashamed of loving rap when I was in Italy. Half the songs (yeah, only half) are in Italian. They sing it so fast, that I have no idea what they're talking about. But Some of the tunes are just so catchy. I wish I took note of a few, so that I could download them. For all I know, they're advocating puppy murder, it won't make me like the song any less.
