I can listen to him in small doses,like... if his song appears on 70s soft rock compilation.But you won't find me with a John Denver box set

One of the most depressing artists of all time.

I hope better than he did!

I like John Denver.

He had a beautiful tenor "folk" kind of voice.. Now his songs are a little passe, but I saw him perform on PBS for some charity event before he died. I thought he was good. Lyle Lovett also sang at J.Denver's funeral. I love me some Lyle. That's for sure.

I just alwys get really good memories from when I was a kid when I hear his voice.

I know what you mean. I think I used the wrong choice of words when I said "depressing artist". Really I should have said "depressing music". As for him being an artist, he definately was that. I saw a movie about his life a few months ago and he seemed to be a an extreme talent and a wonderful man also.

As for his music, I have always found it extremely depressing, to my ears anyway. And now that he is gone, it almost sounds haunting.

Personally, I think Country Road is one of the most beautiful songs in the world. Me and a friend were actually driving country roads in West Virginia and we sang that song and became incredibly happy!!!

And I love him because he fought for the mountains.

I really think that John's music is quite beautiful. It really helps you to appreciate nature better. Plus, I think because my mom had it playing a lot during my young impressionable age I equate it to happy childhood experiences. You know how your parent's record collection can help mold you! I saw that PBS special, too. I was just thinking about him because there was a new greatest hits remastered package at the store.

He gets a bad rap. Yes, he's hard to get into for some folks, but he's folksy in the harmless, feel good way.

John Denver and the Muppets alone is a Christmas classic, folks.

Now that the holidays are coming up. I'll have to check that out. I love the Muppets.

Ah, background music to a cult abduction.
BTW, pass the

Yep, reminds me of childhood, too.

He's not what you'd play to impress your friends, but he was a talented performer and songwriter, as well as an activist. Definitely sounds better when you're in nature than when you're in the city.

Now, his wisdom in flying that plane...
