What other country/rock music do y'all like?
cool tracer. i love, in particular, cranking the first song off "kill the moonlight" my 4 yr old likes it too. i play it every saturday morning. kind of a variation of classic rock stations playing "born to run" every friday at 5 pm. by the way, loosestring, it goes without saying (at least in my book) that springsteen, dylan, and van morrison are three of the greatest musicians ever.
well, I'm not really sure what alt country means anymore so I'll just post a rambling list in no particular order, of my favourite artists:
Bob Dylan
UT/Jay/Son Volt
UT/Jeff/Wilco
Flaming Lips
Red House Painters
Grandaddy
Sonic Youth
Gomez
Godspeed You Black Emperor
Mogwai
My Bloody Valentine
Mojave 3/Slowdive
Handsome Family
Nadine
Gillian Welch
Sigur Ros
Jayhawks
Primal Scream
Neil Young
Spiritualized/Spacemen 3
Steve Earle
REM
Whiskeytown/Ryan Adams (if he stops trying to sound like the stones)
Hate, despise, abhor:

by the way. loosetring, i think "pg lib" by stephen malkmus is one of the "purest" rock and roll records of the last couple of years. an interesting incarnation and amalgam of the mid-career rolling stones, early david bowie, jane's addiction, and many others, but are still totally themselves. if you listen to music stoned (as i do out here in california) you'll love this one.

Wow, what a broad question... if you want a list of the bands I listen to most, these days, it would be All, Guided By Voices, Husking Bee, Dillinger Four, and as always AC/DC. Eagerly anticipating the new Mike Watt album. I also dig The Who and The Beatles quite a bit. But really, that's only scratching the surface...
