Wasn’t the strongest decade for rock, jazz, classicalSeems like most are very rap/pop centered.

Desert islands only have physical media players.Individual playlists makes sense imoI guess we could do both - but I was taking about individual playlists which I think would be interesting (and probably flow better as well).
Dabble that!Don't overthink it nerds. There's not really a desert island.

Waylon hisself liked it1. Metamodern Sounds in Country Music - Sturgill Simpson 2014
Living the Dream
The title of this album is a play off of Ray Charles' The Modern Sounds of Country and Western Music. When I first heard this album it was like a breath of fresh air for the country music genre. I grew up hearing country music of the 60s, 70s, and early 80s, because my parents played it a lot. I didn't buy any country music back then, because it wasn't my thing, but I couldn't get away from it since it was played in our house. I never hated it, and I grew to like and appreciate it. That country music isn't played anymore on regular country radio. I hear country radio sometimes if I'm riding in my mom's car with her, and it all sounds like pop twang. When I heard this album it was like hearing country of the past with some rocking psychedelia infused in it. The guitar playing is great on this album, as is Sturgill's writing, and he has a strong voice that could mistake him as an offspring of Waylon Jennings. This album was a nice surprise of the past decade. He is also great live.
Didn't have time to get in on this one, but this would've been my 1.01. Nice, simey.1. Metamodern Sounds in Country Music - Sturgill Simpson 2014

Sturgill Simpson was my 5th most listened to artists in 2019 per Spotify, despite only having 3 total albums - so obviously this one was on my radar.1. Metamodern Sounds in Country Music - Sturgill Simpson 2014

It's good. It is not country at all. It is rock, and his voice sounds good in that genre too. It has heavy/fuzzy guitars (which he plays lead) and synths.Great start. How’s Sturgill’s new album?
I've found myself listening to a lot of "country" recently but like Simey said not the radio-friendly country twangy pop stuff. I guess its more along the lines of "Americana" or even "Alt-Country" that I'm drawn to. When I listen to Isbell I don't think of spurs, boots and cowboy hats, although he certainly has his roots in the genre.2 country albums? Who would have thunk it!

I ######## love it!It's good. It is not country at all. It is rock, and his voice sounds good in that genre too. It has heavy/fuzzy guitars (which he plays lead) and synths.
Yeah I really like Isbell and he puts on a great show. Its just a bit surprising given how the albums that I usually see hit the top spots on our yearly countdowns rarely ever into this lane.I've found myself listening to a lot of "country" recently but like Simey said not the radio-friendly country twangy pop stuff.

I think it was also a confluence of who had the top two slots in this draft to some extent as well.Yeah I really like Isbell and he puts on a great show. Its just a bit surprising given how the albums that I usually see hit the top spots on our yearly countdowns rarely ever into this lane.
How does one choose between Tool and Miley Cyrus??Bonnaroo lineup, who's joining me and @Steve Tasker? You can see Isbell live.
Well, you don't have to because the #1 headliners are unopposed but if forced, I'd be 100% at Miley...How does one choose between Tool and Miley Cyrus??
I can't take a lot of it, but I really like it too.Great start. How’s Sturgill’s new album?

Sturgill is traditional country, most often compared to Waylon Jennings but obviously with a modern twist and modern drugs.So.... just how "country" are the first two picks?
Twenty in accordance with previous decade DID draftsHow many rounds are we doing?
