I like how they're called Florida Georgia Line and they're from Tennessee.

Throughout the night, we heard three different songs, from that hand, and they all sounded exactly the same.

Actually, they are called Florida Georgia line because one is from Florida and the other from Georgia. They met up in Nashville because they both moved there to become country singers.
Being from Tennessee and having to listen to plenty of awful country I can tell you that they aren't bad at all when you really listen to them. Their song Cruise was one of the hottest songs in the country for a long time.

Much like all of current mainstream 'country' music, they're a pop act parading around as a country band. I could go on a rant for days about how much the country music genre has been bastardized, but I'll spare everyone.

I actually like FGL and they're insanely popular right now with one of the biggest songs in the country, winning multiple country music awards and selling out venues left and right.
Now I f***ing despise the Blake Shelton song. The beginning makes me cringe every time I hear it. A hiphoppy sounding red red red red redneck is played. I also hate that it mentions "the dougie" and my home state of Kentucky.
One of my friends was a radio dj and that damn song was on the top 5 for weeks on end.

I'm from the UK and thankfully unaware of this sort of thing but that "live" performance and the hundred other music clips we were subjected to, has led me to the conclusion that all country music is horrible. Thanks, WWE. You need to watch WWE to come to that conclusion? |

Their song Cruise was one of the hottest songs in the country for a long time. This country puts crap like Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, etc at or near the top of the charts regularly. All the same derivative crap. The fact that something is "hot" means absolutely nothing to me. As pointed out above, all 3 of the Florida Georgia Line songs that they showed clips of, sounded exactly the same. All country music is these days is modern pop-rock with twang and lyrics about "whiskey whispers". Considering that the majority of music that is sold these days is done at Wal-Mart (they are the #1 music retailer in the country) tells me all I need to know about the popular music taste in this country. There is none. |

Thanks, WWE. If you think that Florida Georgia Line is bad, try going to a redneck karoake night. You will need earplugs to get through all of the drunken renditions of country classics performed by burly guys that would be more at home terrorizing the locals than in a club. |

I don't care for country music, but can someone explain in full detail exactly how FGL is a pop band posing as a country band? That makes no sense to me. I've listened to enough country bands from riding with friends who like it plus my mom to know these guys whether they suck or not are a country band.

There is none. Kanye and Eminem are the two biggest rappers at the moment, and both are pretty damn good. Arcade Fire has opened up at number 1 for their last two records. I can keep going, but that's a really distorted view of things. |

Why is it cool to hate on Top 40 'Round Here? Every music guest ever from 6 different genres have all been crapped on by people that don't even listen to anything that came out in the last decade.
