I wouldn't say Garth Brooks KILLED country music but he definitely set it back. I usually refer to Garth Brooks as the Barry Manilow of country music.

Now his first three albums were pretty decent but as he attained superstar status, he turned into a total AC (adult contemporary) mediocrity. Even his lyrics got mostly politically correct. It was sad to see because he did have some talent.

There are some bright spots in modern country. Toby Keith was mentioned earlier but you also have artists like Luke Combs, Trace Adkins, Aaron Tippin and others who carry on the tradition just fine.

"Garth Brooks killed country music."

Saw a magazine cover at a store checkout with him on it a long time ago. He was wearing the makeup of a woman. Disgusting.
