Scooby Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Was reminded that George Strait turned 60 on May 18th. I like him better than Garth, but both are phenomenal. I wanted to download some of their songs from itunes, George is cool like that, but Garth won't let you. U can only get Garth songs on your itunes by burning from a CD. And you can only buy Garth CD's from walmart, his website, or from a used CD store like Hastings (which is what I did). If I remember correctly, a few artists wont let u download their songs from places like itunes--Def Leppard, Kid Rock, the Beatles (maybe)??? Interesting....

Chargerz Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I like Garth better, but tickets to see him are REALLY expensive. I'll probably only be able to see him on his "Geezer" tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puddy Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I've been on a Pandora country kick for a few months. I like Garth better but I'm more of an "Outlaw" country guy at the moment. Give me Waylon Jennings anyday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nogohawk Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I always thought of George as a true singer (& writer; not much to see in a live show, but great songs) - while I always consider Garth a "performer" - great concerts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no fan of either but a quick search shows that Garth's CDs can be purchased from Amazon. I've never heard of anybody limiting them to such small distribution (yes even selling at all Wal Marts is relatively small). I suspect his music can also be downloaded in other places as well. PS Pulling music from a CD is usually called "ripping", while "burning" is the process of putting something onto a CD (say making an audio CD from MP3s).

I like many songs from both. "I ain't here for a long time I'm here for a good time So bring on the sunshine to hell with the red wine Pour me some moon shine When I'm gone put it in stone he left nothin behind I ain't here for a long time I'm here for a good time."

polksalet Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 COmpare and contrast. Garth http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWPfK_3mbbk George Strait I can't believe some actually asked this question. Its like asking "would you rather win powerball or be eaten by a school of 3 piranha?". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delusions of grandeur Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 COmpare and contrast. Garth http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWPfK_3mbbk George Strait I can't believe some actually asked this question. Its like asking "would you rather win powerball or be eaten by a school of 3 piranha?". Seriously, although I was surprised that people here do appreciate the stuff that Brooks did that wasn't pure crap (some his songs were actually really good and well-written), but obviously he decided early on that he was going to make his money by adding in a bunch of gimmicky pop songs that started what's now a 20+ year trend of pop-country crap. George Strait, on the other hand, no contest, even his later stuff is good. Where do you think Scotty McCreary's voice came from (well, it's pretty much a rip off of him, Elvis, and with that annoying voice crack that so many country singers do. That's the problem with 90% of American Idol singers, that they're all too young to just try to copy voices they've heard, rather than have their own unique style).
