Nashville country has become too insufferable for me to listen anymore, thanks to the likes of Rascal Flats and Keith Urban. A bunch of whiny femme-boys with frosted hair, high pitched voices, and Top 40 songwriters. For people disenfranchised with contemporary, radio country, I often suggest these two records: Hank III: Lovesick, Broke and Driftin' Wayne Hancock: Thunderstroms and Neon Lights I gave up on Nashville country years ago. Unfortunately, the Texas guys I switched to are either defunct, or gone Nashville. Pat Green - gone Nashville Corey Murrow - don't know Jack Ingram - gone Nashville Cooder Graw - broke up Robert Earl Keen & Charlie Robison are still going, so far as I know. But with the advent of Pandora radio and iTunes, I can listen to the 80's metal that I grew up listening to.
There's PLENTY more. Cory Morrow's hanging in there. REK and Charlie Robison haven't really changed.
Pat Green and Jack Ingram are nauseating.  Which is a shame, because the helped get a bunch of it going.

I am a younger guy and I like the most of the newer stuff and some of the older stuff. I don't care if you call it Country Music or not I like it. I don't see why people get so bent out of shape just because they call a song "Country". Maybe it is not the kind of music you like but that is just the classification that type of music falls in.
I just say I like music and don't really care what you call it, If it is Country fine, If it is Rap fine, If it is Rock fine, If it is Pop fine. If there is a song I like I don't get mad just because it is put in a certain classification.

Darius Rucker was told he was waaaaay too country when he first switched over. The songs he had written and or wanted to record for his first country album were rejected by Nashville's music executives for being just that.  I guess George and Alan don't give a flip what Nashville thinks according to the duet they did! 
I heard that storey too. I like Darius. good guy from Charleston who is proud of his home town. Went to school with him for a bit. He was a grade ahead of me in middle school and one year of high school before I moved to Alabama.
