Luke Bryan is absolute garbage... I truly dont see how he is so popular.. I could let him get away with being generic if he at least had a decent voice.. he has one of the worst voices in all of music and I change the station any time I hear one of his songs come on.
Johnny Bush Radio on Pandora is pretty dang good, especially with some Bob Wills, Ray Price and George Strait added for variety. If by some unfortunate accident, I hear what's played on "country" music radio these days all I can say is, "Nay Nay."

I'm fine with Strait, but how many people appreciate this past decade like they should? Very few.

There's plenty of great contemporary country being made recently and also now:

Chris Janson
Randy Houser
Florida Georgia Line
Dan + Shay
Jerrod Niemann (Pitbull remixed him)
Rascal Flatts
Bryan and Aldean

Chicks dig him, and dudes dig things that chicks dig.

There's nothing subtle about a Redstone troll.

First, the King is Elvis.
Second, George has put out some terrible pop garbage in the last decade or so. If he didn't have his old stuff in his catalog, I would probably lump him in with the guys on the troll list above. Whomever is picking songs for him needs to be fired. Guy has the perfect voice, just needs help pointing it in the right direction.

None other than Bubba Strait and the King himself mostly these days

Has George Straight ever been given the moniker of "The King"? I totally thought this was about Elvis

Even within the country genre, I would assume "The King" is Bob Wills.

However, when I googled "country music the king," I only got George Strait. I guess I'm officially old, now. I remember when I was a kid and thought Bob Wills events in Turkey, TX were a really big deal.

Well, he's the king of Houston Rodeo ticket sales, that's for sure. I didn't know if anyone outside of local media called him that.

Nobody is jamming Bob Wills songs..

Trust me.. Bob Wills' music isn't timeless.
Not even trying to be difficult or argumentative here, but I literally had Alexa playing Bob Wills while I was cooking Sunday.

I like George Strait ok, more so the early stuff, but don't disrespect Bob Wills.

I've never heard of Dean Brody until this popped up in my suggested feed on YouTube......but goes to show there's still good country music being made somewhere with someone who knows how to tell a story through song

Waylon Jennings didn't perform a song called George Strait is Still the King.

I hear George Strait referred to as the king of country all the time. Kind of hard to dispute with the run he's had.

Bull effing Scheiss! My family and I were jamming on the Autobahn to Bob Wills today! His stuff especially from the late 30s and early 40s is great almost 80 years later. The guitar licks in Roly Poly are outstanding--for just one (of many) examples.

How has this thread gone on for so long without giving respect to the true King?
