Who is the defining artist of this generation?

[vivalaultra]

The only good country music is either old school Johnny Cash or Dwight Yoakam.

Townes Van Zandt, ya big dummy. Old Crow Medicine Show does some cool bluegrass revival stuff, too. Wilco has that useless "alt.country" designation, but who thinks of them as a country band these days, really?

 

I'm glad to see that my influence is already being felt. Now, say that you love the Astros. Do it.

Who doesn't like Hank Williams Sr?

They're no Dwight Yoakem.

 

No one is. Dwight Yoakam is like Jesus, God, Allah, the Virgin Mary and Christopher Walken rolled into this big ball of awesome.

Dwight Yoakam is horrible, even if he's a country legend.

[snuffbox]

Which he's not.

Thank god you were being sarcastic.
