[ZenoRazon]

Always mixed him in with Jim Croce, Gordon Lightfoot, James Taylor.

Great talent, what a bummer,

 

[James Daulton]

Thank god I'm a country boy is such a great song. 

 

[-OZ-]

Love most of his stuff. Voted Rocky mountain high.

Easily the most played album in my house for the past decade has been his Christmas with the Muppets. 

 

[AAABatteries]

Thank god I'm a country boy is such a great song. 

Finally you get something right.

 

[Parrothead]

RMH was my vote- but also like Poems. Prayers, and Promises, and Eagle and the Hawk

 

[DaVinci]

I'd play "Sally Goodin" all day if I could. 

 

[E Street Brat]

Grandma's Feather Bed.

He wrote a lot of cheesy stuff but I have to admit that I have a soft spot for the harmonies in "Take Me Home Country Roads".

 

[Wrigley]

That John Denver is full of #### 

 

[zamboni]

Always had a soft spot for Jet Plane.

He was a bit of a jinx though.

 

[JaxBill]

Partial to Grandmas Feather Bed.

Primarily to find out how many are Fortyleven geese

 

[JaxBill]

John Denver and Johnny Cash Country Roads

That John Denver is full of #### 

Cant believe it took that many posts

 

[Henry Ford]

Love most of his stuff. Voted Rocky mountain high.

Easily the most played album in my house for the past decade has been his Christmas with the Muppets. 

Yeah, I was going to say Grandma’s Feather Bed.

What kind of weirdo keeps a piggy in his shed?

 

[prosopis]

One of my all time favorites. John Denver was my first concert as a young lad. I voted for Sunshine on my Shoulders but that could change tomorrow. I will say that song consistently makes me tear up. I love the sentiment of the song.

Piggy was guarding the moonshine, duh.

 

[Apple Jack]

RMH was my vote- but also like Poems. Prayers, and Promises, and Eagle and the Hawk

Eagle and the Hawk and Calypso were my first favorite songs. Also dug Grandma's Feather Bed from some live recording. My Dad was strictly a classical music guy, but just about all the "straight" world was down with John Denver in the '70s. The freaks, who are more my people, not so much. But I remember laying down next to the stereo, which was a massive piece of furniture as much as it was a stereo, and playing those songs over and over getting my first taste of liftoff. Pretty great thing really.

Piggy was guarding the moonshine, duh.

So you’re saying John Denver took a drunk piggy to bed. 

 

[Leroy Hoard]

So you’re saying John Denver took a drunk piggy to bed. 

Yes, this was one of the sources for the screenplay of the movie Deliverance.

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

I sold a book to him a couple months before he died.  

 

[The Kerminator]

I sold a book to him a couple months before he died.  

Hopefully it wasn't "Flying Airplanes for Dummies"

Too soon?

 

[DocHolliday]

Really like jet plane but country roads is my favorite.   John Denver always puts me in a good mood.  

 

[rockaction]

Voted Leaving On A Jet Plane 

 

[simey]

I love John Denver's music. I'll go with "Back Home Again" as my favorite.

 

[soothsayer]

Eagle and the Hawk and Calypso were my first favorite songs.

Calypso on his Wildlife Concert disc is so awesome. If you've never heard that version I encourage you to check it out.

For You was one of my wedding songs.
