Disagree...their last album was a huge country success. You couldn't play a country station for more than 15 minutes without hearing a DC song. But after the "incident" it's like they never even existed. BIZARRE. But I think the Country music world was more than happy to get rid of them. They pissed alot of people off. I do believe the country music world is a big family and they were known to insult other performers, and that's a no no. And then when they pulled their FUTK at the music awards, that was just too much. So when the "incident" happened, I don't think the country world shed a tear to get rid of them. And I don't know whose idea it was to use what happened in their comeback, but it had to be one of the worst ideas ever. It is a shame, because that Natalie girl has a great voice...wasted.

I agree. But my point is before that there was something about them that seemed a little off.

Well that sort of happens with institutionalized censorship doesn't it now? No offense but with a few companies owning all the stations (which I have no problem with) when corporate sends a directive to no longer play their music, of course you're not going to hear them anywhere.

That's my point, they were pissing off other performers before their statement in the UK

I'm a Gretchen Wilson sort of guy. She's a lot easier on the eyes and her voice is just sexy. I liked the Dixie Chicks for what they were but I never considered them much more than a country Backstreet Boys

Their last album was Top Of The World. It was released on 11/04 right before Christmas. It has yet to sell a million copies. HOME was the album before that. It was certified @ 6million "shipped" the week following the "incident" it has yet to sell another million copies.
