Kids today have very little discipline and very little respect. In my opinion that's what contributed to such great music. These people knew how serious life was. Personally this collection ain't bad. Can't say it's the best I've ever come across but it sure ranks in the top 10. The newer stuff is OK. I think they should create a new genre to discribe some of that new pop country stuff, instead of given it the same name as these awesome artists.

I enjoyed this one and Sock It To Me Country very much. That whole Nashville-transitional era is so interesting. I remember ON-TV. My family didn't have it, but I recall that it was on channel 15 back when it was a tiny indie station. Spent many evenings watching Saturday Night Live repeats at 6:00 before they switched to ON-TV at 7:00. Yes, yes — thanks for assembling these. I enjoyed this one and Sock It To Me Country very much.

This is yet another keeper. And I have to agree, there are a lot of post-1980s country songs that I like. Once the new century started, that's when country started to suck for me. The best stuff now is all underground. These collections are just great. This is yet another keeper. And I have to agree, there are a lot of post-1980s country songs that I like.

However, once you hear Part Ten, you might move yours back 5 years. Move your cutoff year up 15 years and I might agree with you. However, once you hear Part Ten, you might move yours back 5 years.

Also, it has becaome a lot more mainstream power pop that I am not a fan of. I shouldn't have said the all post 80s stuff is not worth mentioning because there are some songs that are good, just not nearly as good as the stuff proir to that IMHO.

I still do not think the post 1980 stuff is worth mentioning though. Most stuff, I do not like, but there are a few things tht are good.
