CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Alt Country

Rockabilly, true. I tend to include that in a broad "alt country" sense..since i tend to favor the more rock-edged stuff anyhow. Just my label system, not to be confused with facts..

LOL, I'm not really sure what the facts are. However, I would sooner classify rockabilly in with alt-country, than oh, say, the Charlie Daniels band?????
Alt-country is NOT Toby Keith-Alan Jackson-Reba McIntire type music!!!

CDDB says that Cross Canadian Ragweed is general country, but I say it is alternate country.

Yes, I would agree. But maybe his more recent stuff would more appropriately be classified alt vs. his older works, IMO. Or maybe I am biased because I really dislike Copperhead Road...
On the other hand, Jerusalem is great.

Right now, I'm on a big Grey DeLisle kick.
You've got to love a girl who sounds like a cross between a young Dolly Parton and Gillian Welch and can bang out an autoharp solo like she can.

Alan Jackson and Reba McEntire don't believe in the same sentence as Toby Keith. The former two actually sing country. The latter...well, I'm not sure what he sings but it ain't real country.

Well, I'm glad someone does!
I like many more genres of music than just alt-country, that's for sure.

My apologies, I'm not very familiar with mainstream country. I honestly don't know if I've even heard a Toby Keith song. Sounds like that's a good thing?

Reba and Alan still are not alternative country.Marissa said:
They are normal/real/whatever you want to call it country. After all, you would not want to wonder Who's Cheatin' Who. Also, I consider Brooks and Dunn to be somewhat alternative country.
