Why did Garth Brooks become so popular in Ireland compared to most other places outside America.

Well we're not quite the Alabama of Europe but we make a fair stab at a Kentucky or Arkansas so I'll hypothesize it's something to do with a stagnant gene pool. It almost certainly involves inbreeding at any rate.

Back in the day, you were either into Nirvana/Guns n Roses/Pearl Jam or Garth Brooks. Never understood his appeal myself.

There are many of Garth's avid fans in parts of the country who'd heartily extend 3 thumbs aloft at the mere mention of his name.
