Country music can definitely break some of those rules. Chattahoochee by Alan Jackson is one that comes to mind. It breaks the nostalgia rule, but still is a great song. (I'm biased because I live near the Chattahoochee River).
People expect country to sound a certain way and to a have only a few different types of lyrical themes. Whereas with rock, the sky is the limit!
