HORRIBLE!!!

Her voice drives me crazy with that forced vibrato... Well, it's not even a vibrato, it's just inconsistently shifting between notes... HORRIBLE, PLAIN HORRIBLE!!!

An embarrassing one-fourth of the ratings, including mine, were sucko-barfo, more than any other rating.  It is playlist purple, a distinction reserved for the RP songs that are, in the opinion of those who rated it, the worst.  You know, like Michael Franti.

Sorry, but any song that falls below a rating of 5 should be taken out of rotation.  If I had my druthers, any song by Joni Mitchell would be taken out of rotation.

Not her best song, but I always love Joni's smooth vocals and jazzy sound.

i think i find Joni even more tuneless than Bob. yes she makes pretty notes with her voice, but there is no tune. now that i think of it, Bob's the reverse: nice tune, can't make pretty notes with his voice! no offense to all you fans out there, i'll wait patiently til it's over, enjoy

Don't need no Wiki on this one....  laozilover, listen to Jericho again. Jaco and Short all OVER the place. Then get back with me.

You have Tom Scott's L.A. Express confused with Weather Report.  Her collaborations with Wayne Shorter and Jaco Pastorius  (both Weather Report members) came later. See the Wikipedia article.

I just scanned the Joni playlist and see that Jericho hasn't been played in years... for shame! That is one damn fine bit of work... as a matter of fact, the first three tracks of the LP are brilliant for Joni, not to mention the Weather Report cats helping out.

This song is groovy...  love it...

Cute and endearing when one is four years old but I think Joni was a little older when she did this.

What I want is to never hear another Joni Mitchell song for as long as I live ( "Big Yellow Taxi" included).

Listening to that four year old tell stories might give you surprising insight.  Why so judgmental over innocence and pure glee of the telling?

At least its not Dylan

Oh No!!!! Don't worry I'll email you the name of a good psychiatrist. It sounds like you need one.

Not exactly a Joni classic, but WTF? You people are like children whining about having to eat your green beans.

I appreciate her as a writer of many wonderful songs sung by others.  I just can't stand her droning on and on and on.  It's like a 4 year old telling a story (and then...and then...and then).

After listening and reading the comments for a few years (and donating), I was forced to register so I could come to Joni's defense. She is an authentic genius. The music grow on you (for decades). Give it a chance!

Some just dont get thanks Bill and Thanks Rp .....

Turn it off

To quote Hellraiser:"Help me I am in Hell"

Now Playing:
Rickie Lee Jones - Easy Money
Warren Zevon - Lawyers, Guns And Money
The Psychedelic Furs - All That Money Wants
Joni Mitchell - Love or Money

The song seems to be part of one of these grand concept sets, mellow out people!

Heh, I opened the website specifically to vote this down, and I usually only make that effort to vote up something I like.  To those of you who like it, well, that's why there's all kinds of music!

Please, RP, stop playing this. Surely an overall score of 4.5 is an indication of people feel about this one?

Make it stop!!!!!!!!
