"I like all music, except for country and rap."

I hate that phrase. Besides encompassing both polka and Kenny G, it is self-defeating-- people use it to sound like learned (stress on the the e) and open-minded musical gourmets, but a truly open-minded person would not think to say something so very limiting.

Anyway.

Here is my question:

Do you like any country bands or artists? If not, what is it that makes country music so unappealing to you?
