John Denver RULESD

 

[McGarnicle]

Can't stand him or James Taylor. Both very talented, but I just find the music to be boring, weak, and lacking any edge or balls. You could easily find a sandal-wearing, guitar strumming little hippy fruit singing at a coffee shop with equal creativity and chops.

Country Roads was supposed to be bought by Johnny Cash, would you like it then?

Nice duet. Fan of both. And James Taylor for that matter.

I'd put Taylor ahead of Denver but both could write a song, not something most coffee shop dudes are able to do.

welcome to my morning, welcome to my day. I'm the one responsible i made it just this way....

Amongst these 3 I would go Cash first, then Taylor in second by just a hair over Denver.

This is correct.

Too hard core for me, all the screaming and distorted guitars.

Taylor = :X :

Denver at least has some goofy country appeal.

friends around the campfire everybody's hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh

And watch the evening tire

While all my friends and my old lady

Sit and pass the pipe around

...And somewhere in the darkness,

The Gambler he broke even

And in his final words I found

Advice that I could keep.

that's it

I'm rolling all Denver the rest of the afternoon

I haven't seen something written that was more wrong in quite some time.

Another little known fact is that John Denver didnt take a shower that morning. He did wash up on the beach however.

This brings up an interesting quandary for me. Love all three. Spent probably the first third of my life as a huge Denver fan, the second third as a Taylor fan, then the last third as more of a Cash fan. Can't decide who has the best voice, Cash or Taylor. Denver is third. The only one I've seen live is Taylor, and he gave a great performance. IMO, Denver was the best songwriter. Here are their most recognizable songs (to me):

Taylor -

Carolina in My Mind

Fire and Rain

Sweet Baby James

Country Road

You've Got a Friend

Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight

Walking Man

How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved by You)

Mexico

Shower the People

Cash -

I Walk the Line

Don't Take Your Guns to Town

In the Jailhouse Now

Busted

Ring of Fire

Folsom Prison Blues

Daddy Sang Bass

A Boy Named Sue

The Man In Black

Understand Your Man

The Man Comes Around

Personal Jesus

Hurt

Denver -

Follow Me

Take Me Home, Country Roads

Rocky Mountain High

I'd Rather Be a Cowboy

Farewell Andromeda

Sunshine on My Shoulders

Poems, Prayers, and Promises

Annie's Song

Back Home Again

Sweet Surrender

Thank God I'm a Country Boy

The Eagle And The Hawk

I'm Sorry

Windsong

Fly Away

Looking for Space

My Sweet Lady

Calypso

My FIL once got pulled into the announcers booth at a football game back in the 70's because they thought he was John Denver. Looked like this

People used to tell me I looked like him back in college, circa '77.

There was a big discussion on Cash and Hurt here. To me his version said so much more than the original and I would say IMO it's Cash's best work for a long time. Fire and Rain would be my favorite Taylor tune. I guess I go Rocky Mountain High for Denver.
