Am I the only person who LOVES bluegrass music???

I'm not crazy about it, but my mother likes it. It's very popular where I live.

Love or hate are good terms. There is some I really like, and some I think sounds like amateurish crapola. Mind you, for me it's the same with any musical genre. There is good and bad. My tastes are really diverse.

interesting, a own "country" music kind.

Blechh! Bluegrass, ugh, quite frankly I'd rather have my head in a vice. Having said that, I totally respect your right to listen to that... stuff (just not near me okay?).

Hard to say why it grates on my nerves so much, I can actually see what you're talking about when you mention it's playful nature, but that's a purely academic view for me, I'm afraid I shall always find it twangy and irritating. But.. you know... whatever bakes yer cookies!

Love the real old traditional stuff, and some of the newer variants. I'm generally not wild about most country music - but bluegrass is a fine form of indigenous folk music.

i like it. dueling banjos and all that stuff. my mom LOVES it. however, my current favorite tune is

Brandy (You're a fine girl)

There's a guy on the board here who used to be in a bluegrass band, right? Panzade. Had its own records out and all.

Good bluegrass music is phenomenal. Good Rock is phenomenal. Good Soul music is phenomenal.

I draw the line at Polka.

Good Polka is phenomenal!

Are you the only one? The popularity of the movie "Brother, Where Art Thou" should answer that question.

But polka, polka ... what about polka, eh?



OK, and now I'm off ;-)

I like Bill Monroe. Onliest thing, I don't want to hear his songs more than a couple at a time.

Good polka is an oxymoron.
