IT SOUNDS REVOLTING. I don't know one sane person that would willingly listen to that chord. It makes you want to become  .
YET, that is a VERY popular chord in rock music. That chord brings a feeling of unrest, inward violence etc. It is a very UN-natural chord. So, with that and similar chords (various 13th chords not used properly and the like...) these rock-composers try to control your emotions. Don't believe me? Go to a rock concert and see for yourself!!! All the other styles (jazz,pop,etc.), to a certain degree imitate what rock music trys to do. That's why, Smiley, you felt what you felt when you listened to country. I will gladly debate the above statements that I made.

Surprisingly, I agree with you about rock music. It is all about controlling your emoitions. That's why I don't listen to it, I want God and God alone to control my emotions.
