A little complaint

99silveradoz71 · January 17, 2003

Ok, my complaint. Why when they have a country song that they want to cross-over to pop do they have to make an "adult contemporary" version...example..."Landslide" by the Dixie Chicks...they took out the country sounding instruments and it's all instrumental(elevatorish) on the pop stations. They did the same to a Shania song or 2 a few years back.

Ummm dude,I hate to tell you this but if the Dixie Chicks did Landslide then they remade that song.

It was originally done by Stevie Nicks though I don't remember if she was with Fleetwood Mac at the time and Smashing Pumpkins remade it several years ago.

"They" are the musicians and producers.

It's all about the mighty buck.

Yes!!!

Y2K, I know Stevie Nicks did it originally...my beef was just that the record industry folks take the music and strip it down before it goes to another audience other than the original target.

Shania's new cd is a double cd. One cd is has a country edge and their is another cd with exactly the same songs with a rock edge. The liner notes say it is for whatever mood you are in when you listen.

Ahhh I see what you're saying.

Well,about the only explanation for it is that if the music industry is going to take the time to release a song targeting a certain style of music then they are going to make sure the people that want to listen to that particular style will like it.It wouldn't make much sense for them to do it any other way.
