Fridge Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Tried to watch one of his videos...seriously, we're talking multimillionaire budgets here, and we have a bunch of c***s prancing round in stetsons? Seems to fill the same sort of niche as Pickeldick do for redneck rockers. Easily ingested opium for the masses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) His music has just the right mix of country, pop and rock to gain a wide range of listeners. That's why he sold so many albums. He has a universal appeal. That's not by accident. He was a marketing major at Oklahoma State before he was a singer. He has written songs of his own, but he usually uses songs written by others on his albums and obviously he has a really good ear for what will sell! I think the marketing helped him package himself to be so successful. My kids used to love him so I heard him a lot. I like Alan Jackson better but Garth is alright.

Oracle Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 What do you think about sales of his albums? Sales mean nothing for the general populace that listens to his music. Good for him for making the right combination of pop, rock, and country music to appeal to the vast majority of your average music listener. Personally what do you think about him? Really don't have an opinion on him. I'm sure he's a nice guy, probably a good family man. Just really never took the time to listen to his music. All I know is that when he tours, people flock to him like flies on dog shit. Seriously, have you seen the demand for his tickets? f**k record sales, he's made a killing for live performance! The only other group I see that are generally excited for an artist to tour are Phish fans and Deadheads, and they can be pretty hard to beat in that department. Do you own any of his albums in your home collection? My mom has a greatest hits compilation of his that she plays sometimes, but I'm often too busy doing something else to really listen to anything from it. Wow, I stepped into an elitist thread... Backing out slowly. Not elitist, just people sharing their honest opinions on him. Just depends on how much you read into what people post and how you read it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Says he's worth almost $300,000,000.00. I just tried to listen to one of his songs and got about fifteen seconds into it before I stopped. I despise country western twangy singing. Just don't have an ear for it at all. my least fav genre by far. Mick Mine is folk punk (followed by trap - or just really bad and unimaginative hip hop which is polluting the music scene today) Behind those two is probably "country pop". Enjoy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't have an ear for it at all. my least fav genre by far. MickMine too. Like I said, I never developed an ear for it. I can't stand it - male or female - I hate that twang. I like certain classic country. Very rootsy and Americana. But somewhere along the way things changed and Garth happened. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordgalaxy Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Wow, I stepped into an elitist thread... Backing out slowly. not elitist. garth brooks just sucks. Mick That's one opinion, but obviously there are a shit ton more who disagree with you. I'm not a fan of his music but I know personally he's a genuinely nice guy and is very good to his fans, unlike the former greatest rock drummer who is also a prick to his fans, and other people.

Verena Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Most people don't like music but they think it's a good idea to have something to "dance" to or as background music in a bar or party etc. Very well pointed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadoood Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) He came on the scene at just the right time. There weren't too many crossover country guys in the early 90s. He filled that niche and cashed in. And now we have an endless supply of Garth brooks descendants.. horrifying If you look back at his career, Garth brooks sort of invented a new style of pop country.. I don't recall any of his type in the 80s Edited October 31, 2017 by Xanadoood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
