I do, but only certain styles.
I hate bubblegum pop country. Rascal Flatts can die in a fire. And I don't like old school twangy cry in my beer 50's country. Some of the new non-poppy stuff is decent.
For the most part I like outlaw country, like Johnny Cash, Hank Jr., Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, etc...
As far as f'ing up a song, most covers suck, and when there is a cross-genre cover it's usually terrible. Have you seen my post about Celine Dion and AC/DC? Or did you see the abortion that was N'Sync and Britney Spears singing Walk This Way at the super bowl a few years back? Simply horrible.
