Yeah, country guitar is usually really fun to play. But I'm gonna wait till I see the tracks before I buy.

Out of the handful of country songs I've played on RB, most of the charts were very fun indeed, especially on guitar, at least playing through the 2nd country track pack that I got for free. Perhaps I'm biased because I live in central Texas, but I thought country music was pretty popular throughout the country. Carrie Underwood's one of the most popular country artists too; this is going to sell, plain and simple.

I don't mind this at all, but it's not something I'll be getting. I like some country music(when my job doesn't play country radio stations all day every day, and those stations play the same 10-12 songs on an endless loop), but not this.

Yep, echoing what others have already said upthread: there are a surprising number of folks out there who like their country music. Like my little sister: heavily tattooed, gives off serious piss-off biker bitch sort of vibes at times... and whenever she comes to visit, she invariably asks if I have any new country songs in Rock Band. It's a far more embraced genre than one might guess at first blush. (And yeah, a cursory hang-out at any random karaoke night will generally confirm this. Even in the San Francisco Bay Area, which feels like one of the least country places ever.)

It's not especially my cup of tea, musically speaking, but it's not like I take mortal offense to its existence or something, and the guitar charts are habitually above-average. So sure, Carrie Underwood: why not? If it turns out that I don't like the songs, I will somehow find one of the other thousands of readily available songs to prevent me from crying myself to sleep at night.

Meh, I don't really like this kind of country music, but it is really fun to play on guitar. I enjoy most country, just not all of it, because some of it is depressing. Good Girl is one of the best songs from any female country vocalists, says CMT. If I had PSN, I probably would buy this pack.

Ya Youhas hit the nail on the head pretty well, and especially as someone who lives right on the edge of farm country in Colorado it's incredibly prevalent here.

For me personally however it's a definite pass, country songs on drums are usually rather standard and boring.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I don't take offence at people enjoying it. I just didn't realize it was so popular, although I guess this stuff with a pop vibe to it would have a broader appeal. Oh well, not my cup o' tea, but whatever floats your boat. Who needs new songs when there's so much work to be done on the harmony upgrade project?

Before He Cheats is 7 years old? That's probably the most shocking part of the announcement.

Country's not my thing, so I'll pass.
Also, with Daughtry and Carrie Underwood announced, sounds like an American Idol thing going on here. Betting on Clarkson.
