Oooh, I see a great opportunity for this month's pointless yet completely
engaging thread here - almost as good as "what is country music?". A timeline
has to start somewhere, so let's debate:
Who was the first alt.country artist?
Bill Monroe?
Bob Wills?
Johnny Cash?
Buck Owens?
Glen Campbell? (C'mon . . . "Bloodline" is like country crossed with math-rock)
Neil Young?
The Flying Burrito Brothers?
The Byrds?
Bob Dylan?
The Eagles?
X?
John Cougar?
John Cougar Mellencamp?
John Mellencamp?
Tom Petty?
Steve Earle?
Uncle Tupelo?
Some names have been purposefully included to spark heated discussion. Dive in,
everybody's welcome.
