Sure do! Mr "King of the Road". I look back at the country I used to listen to in the late '70s/early'80s versus now and it amazes me how much it's changed. You can really see the 'rock and pop influences' starting in the early '90s. Back then I listened to Johnny Cash, Alabama, Oak Ridge Boys, Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams Jr, and Merle Haggard among others. Now it's Brooks and Dunn, Trace Adkins, Montgomery Gentry, Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, Toby Keith, and Big and Rich. It seems country was the same for decades until the very late '80s, then it began to 'morph' into what we know it as today. I think part of the reason was what I call the "country traditionalists". They seem to want to keep country the same as it's been for many years. They look down at these newer acts as an 'infringement' upon their music and the way they knew it. It took awhile for Nashville to accept certain acts like Shania Twain, and Big and Rich because at the time they were so different in what they wore and their music. But as country became more mainstream, and younger listeners started to listen, it changed to meet their needs and desires.

I agree completely. On a side note, I just bought a CD with King Of The Road on it for 5 bucks. I'd thought I'd hit a goldmine. That song kicks ass. I also just picked up a Kenny Rogers greatest hits with Coward of the County and The Gambler on it. 5 bucks as well.

I listen to just about everything now, I used to be heavily into crappy rap (50 cent, etc) but not so much anymore. the only rap i have now is mos def. but i listen to everything from queen, beetles, red hot chili peppers, system of a down, jack johnson, you get the deal.

[BeZerK2112]

I'm a alternative, rock, punk kind of guy. But I'm also quality over quantity. I take a crisp clear system over a loud thumping system any day!

[Funkdoc]

I listen to everything as long as it sounds good but mostly it's metal for me as you can see

RAWK! esp. stuff with a good bassline/ bassist.

Steve harris, Geddy Lee (some people cringe at this, ha), Cliff Burton and the like. ya know.

[TigersClaw]

pretty much everything on the list except for the hip-hop. Also, I enjoy progressive rock, if any of you like that (Dream Theater, Liquid Tension Experiment, Spock's Beard, etc).

[Rbraczyk]

Metal and Classic Rock.

[Jimster]

Fallout Boy.

[TigersClaw]

You're a brave man to admit it .

But seriously, I see nothing wrong with Fallout Boy. For some reason, I can't help but love Panic! At The Disco. Don't know why, I just really like their album.

[Car.Geek]

Grunge, and Punk... some Emo. All that good stuff

It 's some of the stuff that just gets stuck in your head, like a bad commercial jingle. I hate it, but yet at the same time I hear myself singing along to it. It's a plauge.

[106spazzy]

!!!Drum and Bass!!!

but I also like dub, dancehall, reggae, jumpstyle, gabber.
