Mainstream country depresses me for some reason. I did used to listen to it more back when I was in grade school and my sister and mom listened to it all the time. Some songs are pretty awesome, though; "I Got Friends in Low Places" by Garth Brooks or "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue" by Toby Keith, for example. Also used to have a thing for Shania Twain and Faith Hill.

I listen to some alt country bands and folk/country bands, like Richmond Fontaine and The Avett Brothers.
