He changed everything. Before Garth, country was polite and sat down. After Garth, it was running through the crowd, hanging from ropes, filling football stadiums. Game changer.
"The Dance" still makes me cry after all these years. That video with the astronauts and John Lennon... it's about something bigger than just a love song. It's about life.
The first time I heard "Thunder Rolls" live, the place went dark, the lights simulated lightning, and Garth's voice built and built. Pure theater. Pure genius.
My mom had his albums on cassette in the minivan. I knew every word before I knew what the words meant. That's cultural saturation.
"Unanswered Prayers" hits different when you're older. When you're young, you want what you want. When you're older, you understand why you didn't get it.
"Friends in Low Places" is the ultimate anthem for people who don't fit in. The working class, the outsiders, the ones wearing boots to a tuxedo party. We're all friends here.
His voice isn't technically the best in country music. But his connection to the audience? Unmatched. He sings like he means every word, and you believe him.

Just discovered Garth through this article. "Shameless" is incredible. Didn't know it was a Billy Joel cover until later. He makes it his own.
Growing up in Tulsa, Garth was everywhere. "Friends in Low Places" at every party, every wedding, every bar. It's not just a song, it's the soundtrack of my childhood.
