Most hair-metal, matter of fact, arouses that same response. Chicago post-Terry Kath ... it's like falling into the vat of your local syrup factory. Mariah Carey was mentioned upthread for good reason. Modern country isn't country, it's crappy pop with fake accents and sometimes a steel guitar.
I could go on, but I won't.
Agree - putting on a cowboy hat or wearing cowboy boots does not a country singer make.
Though not my favorite genre, I am good with Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, and the other storytellers.
I wouldn't go out onto my front yard to listen to Taylor Swift if she were putting on a show out there.
