That's my go to.  Although they wear the same songs out.....over and over.

I've actually switched back to mostly terrestrial radio for that reason.  They don't overplay the same songs as much as the genre-specific satellite radio stations do.

Agreed.

The only problem where I'm at is, the terrestrial stations are R&B, rap, or country.

We only had a few rock stations to begin with, and now they're all rebranded to country.

How many stations in one market really need to be playing Luke Bryan?

My answer to that specific question, would be... zero.

I love country music, was born and raised on it, but don't like much of the new mainstream stuff. Especially not the so-called "Bro Country."

Luckily for me, we have two country stations in Austin that play mostly the older stuff.

that gives me an idea for the crappy music thread

XM 58 Prime Country for me.

Of the newbies, I kind of like Luke Combs.  He doesn't seem like a chick.

Not sure I could pick Luke Combs out of a new country lineup.

There are some new(ish) Alt Country and/or Rockabilly type country acts that I like.  But mainsteam modern country to me, is much the same thing as the overly polished and overly produced Nashville sound of the late 60s and 70s.  It's the thing that the Outlaw Country movement led by Willie and Waylon, rebelled against and formed as a direct counter to that stuff.

The only proper way to prepare a steak is a ribeye cooked medium rare over charcoal with hickory chips sprinkled in. The steak must be seared in a hotter-than-hell cast iron skillet with melted butter, garlic, thyme,  and onions before throwing it on the grill. It must be lightly spiced with a combination of salt and lemon pepper seasoning.

Luke Combs has some funny songs. He also redid Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" recently and it's a really solid remake of a song that I didn't think anyone, much less a male country artist, would do justice. Kinda like Johnny Cash and NiN's "Hurt". When I heard he did it, I was like "WTF?" And then when I hear the song, I thought it was an amazing take. 

My wife's a Country fan, so I get a lot of exposure. Really enjoy Brothers Osborne.

Not going to say I agree that's the "only" way to cook a steak, but it is certainly a damn good one. 

Until you said "lemon pepper".

3 Doors Down is an underrated band.

I agree.  I'm curious to see if the masses will render this an unpopular opinion.

The acoustic version of Landing in London is great.

Nope.  Some great tunes.
