None of Jack's songs seem to stand out, but I find all of them pleasing to listen to.  Lots of comparisons to sunshine and sandy beaches in the comments.  That's where his music always takes me, too.

It's funny — when I heard a Jack Johnson song come on, I immediately expected massive acrimony from the RP faithful.  I checked out the comments just to see if I was right.

Awesome song!

wow, I would have never expected so much acrimony towards Jack Johnson from Radio Paradise listeners. I'm surprised.

As a verse drags on like a month drags on
It's very short, but it seems very long

Jack Johnson makes me nauseous...

I saw a guy recently, wearing a t-shirt that said, Jack Johnson ruined everything.

Ahhhh yes. Love Jack...and another day in the 70s in Santa Barbara.

Mmmmmmmmm - makes me all warm on a snowy day. Aural sunshine.

That's pretty well what my father (teenager 60s, 70s) said when he first heard Jack Johnson! I kind of feel much the same!

I was going to comment that we needed more Michael Penn and less Jack Johnson, but I like this comment much better.  Jack Johnson is a water cracker...gotta love it! 

I'm beginning to think that RP intentionally plays music like Johnson's to reset our auditory palette.

So in essence ... Jack Johnson is the palette cleanser in our music wine cellar.

Seeing Jack Johnson on the cover of a certain outdoorsie magazine was the final nail in the coffin for me, and after almost 15 years subscribing to it, I canceled my subscription.
That's a testament to just how bad the magazine had deteriorated, and also how much JJ makes my stomach churn.

Two Jack Johnson songs in one day? Ugh. :puke:

I like Jack Johnson. It's not the same ol' stuff, yet good.

Come on!! Since when are girls the only ones to have the privilege to enjoy feel-good music?
(hard-boiled metal-eating truckers should stop reading at this point) I think Jack Johnson has the gift to turn everything he touches into soozing gentle breezes of warm good vibes!

That's enough Jack Johnson/Ben Harper/Dave Matthews. Now stop it.

I think this was made for girls.
