"San Antonio Rose" is a fine example of early country that was considered "pop" at the time it was first released. The band was Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys! As far as rap is concerned, I would agree a lot of it sucks, if not most of it....but there are seminal tracks like NWA "f#$%k the Police" which rock pretty hard, and is actually a very catchy song (long as you are not actually a police officer, that is!!) DE LA SOUL and Q-TIP and THE TRIBE CALLED QUEST are early rap groups that were composed largely of real musicians..the music is quite thoughtful and articulate....PUBLIC ENEMY also had some great tracks on the album "fear of a black planet"... I would agree that most rap and hip-hop sucks....especially that bad song I always hear TOO loud at the gym...something about "shakin that ass".... and it just sounds like someone with no musical talent talking...and heck, even I can do that!!! But I would be hesitant to outright rule out all country and rap, without researching a little! The only type of music I can disrespect without even hearing it would be MOR hair metal from the early 90's..for example, there is not even ONE guns and roses song I can get into..not one! that Axle rose needs his legs brokem, as far as I am concerned...and that faggoty little shuffle dance he used to do on the "welcome to the jungle" video just reminds me to much of Ashlee Simpson's recent hoe-down on SNL!! No, I believe the world could do fine without GNR, warrant,poison or skidrow!! And that brings up another issue...for as much as sebastian bach was known to be a homophopic gay basher, HE SURE LOOKS PRETTY LIKE A GIRL, don't he?? Ha ha!
