I was curious to see which Country classes you guys liked better :)
The Class Of 1986 featured newcomer such as Randy Travis, Dwight Yoakam, Steve Earle, k.d lang, Lyle Lovett, and Ricky Van Shelton. It was essentially a renaissance year for Country, as we saw acts like Travis and Shelton bring back the traditional country sound, while Earle and Yoakam broke down the barriers of what was and what wasn't Country.
The Class Of 1989 saw more of a mainstream turn, with acts like Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson, Travis Tritt, Clint Black, Suzy Bogguss, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Lorrie Morgan. Garth was the biggest thing that country music had ever seen, where Alan Jackson was the one who kept it real and traditional. Tritt brought his southern rock influence into the genre, and was mildly successful with it.
So this begs the question, which class features more acts that you like?
I personally pick the class of 1986, as there are a lot of my favorites on there, like Randy Travis, Steve Earle, and Dwight Yoakam.
