bleh. I'll go and watch, but really don't like it. whatev. thanks for entertaining us UCF but do people even really listen to country anymore? rhetorical, don't answer. Rock On!
ucf tailgate series is all country
- Thread starter Central Floridave
- Start date
They apparently got the request list from the other National Champions. At least it's better than rap, but I don't listen to country either. Guess at least some of the decision makers do.
listening to the washing machine is better than rap
I don't like country, but I can't think of any particular style that would generate interest without criticism? Maybe some form of soft rock, but much more difficult to put together over a generic country artist. Rap? May appeal to younger crowds, but tough to find up and coming rap artists that aren't a joke. Pop? Same issue there. Maybe a random EDM DJ may generate interest, but again that'll ostracize anyone over 20 even more than rap IMO.
I thought they should just let a "battle of the bands" occur for at least one game, minimally. At least generate some pub for local bands. On a larger scale, each of the home games could have a different genre (rock, country, hip hop, "disney kids crap" (for lack of a better term), pop, etc...), then at the last game have the best act from each week come back and have the crowd pick some kind of winner. At least that'll get some people interested n a weekly basis (not me, because I love tailgaiting). Letting people have input makes them feel like they matter.
Country music is terrible generic corporate garbage. But it’s is safe. Same for most hard rock created after 2000. Super generic corporate garbage. I would much prefer rap but there is just too much cursing and “n” bombs to play for the general public. You would have to bleep out half the music and I dont want my kids to listen to that. So I understand country being the solution. I don’t care about the music anyway the game day is for football and I can play the music I want to hear at my tailgate.
They should try to see if they can get Nickleback to perform at every game.
How is country safe? I work with kids and sometimes put country music on in the background because we thought it would be the “best safe option”. Every other song is about drinking, which I’m not against but it’s kind of embarrassing when a mom is looking at you funny about the background music.
Why can't you mix it up a little. Rap one week, country another, then southern rock, pop etc.
I think this is by design to get the ladies to turn out. I have no idea who these performers are, but my wife tends to know one or two per year.
Haha fair point but at least it's not about cold syrup, yayo, and violent crimes.
Fire Danny White...SWEET HOME ALABAMA at 1:40 mark...WTF? Get that off our campus! LOL
Incorrect. Rap is rap and hip hop is hip hop. And if we want a safe genre that can connect with more recruits and their families I would suggest neither rap or hip hop and believe neo soul would be safe, contemporary and listenable in the likes of artists such as Alycia Keyes, John Legend, etc.. Not necessarily those artists but that genre of music. At least for one or two games in 2019 I think the diversity of options would be be considered progressive.
If you’re looking for music that is safer for the little ears, then it’s primarily oldies, Beatles, etc. The language and song topics are safer. I’m sure these types of bands are cheaper on the budget too. Win for all?
He went to UCF and may perform but the problem is even in EDM, as with a lot of music, he is probably unknown to most young kids (even though Henry is only like 30, his fans are probably in that demo.) And I'm not a fan of EDM so I don't know if that community embraces all music or if they'd just walk by and be like "meh.. who?"
That could work. With a Boney James type feel...smooth jazz with an uptempo groove.
