i considered turning off my speakers for that song ... there is a part of my brain that understands how people like his music - whereas i cannot fathom why people like soft jazz - but still, i just cannot stand to listen to him and am disappointed when i find out that someone i like actually enjoys his music ...

Even though his songs are very much alike... this is exactly the kind of uncomplicated music I need to hear right now... it's good when you are studying all day long and your brain just can't handle anything else... thx!

This is my first post. I am a RP fan, but of course there are many songs played I don't care for. But Jack Johnson is in a different category. I like rice cakes. They might be airy, but I like the flavor. Jack Johnson is more like a Michael Bolton flavored prairie cake without all the hair. I'll drive over the cliff with the other poster out there. Clawing at my inner eardrums.

He just always hits the spot...please let him keep coming...thanx RP!!!

Though overplayed on FM (at least here where I live), I found myself tiptoeing.
So I must like this song too.

More more more! I love this song....

I love "brushfire Fairy Tales", I was excited to hear the follow up. Very disappointing. I like it. It's just more of the same.

Now I can make tea without missing anything good

Jack Johnson's lyrics are very personal, and his playing feels that way, too. It's amazing that in this American Idol world, someone can make it with music that seems to matter to no one more than to the performer. I like it and Jack likes it. Everyone else can piss off!

i am sitting, waiting and wishing (& praying) this guy would take his 3rd grade strumming and cutesy lyrics off the airwaves. . .

I like his music. So there.

thanks!

Didn't Ben Harper already have his career?

Blech!

Got to agree. I can generally tune out the stuff I don't like, but the "flat, breathy voice" sort of made me want to twist my own head off. Maybe I've had too much coffee.

I never liked him. I think the instruments in his music are fine -- it's his voice I find irritating.

Jack Johnson is the music equivalent of a rice cake for me.

It's the hipster hive-mind mentality around here. Much music snobbery abounds.

Yes, I like that term.

drife wrote:I actually agree. He is a chill and relaxing artist to listen to, but all of his songs are just flat and boring.

I, for one, like him. He's easy on the ears and nice to have going on in the background. He's certainly not a groundbreaker, but a nice addition to my collection. I just picked up the soundtrack to Curious George, which is Jack Johnson plus a few other artists like G. Love and Matt Costa featured on a couple of songs.

By playing only the songs only I like, and certainly nothing that was ever in a Top40 rotation. Because if other people like it, it's just so plebeian!

A completely uninteresting and unimaginative artist. This joker can play exactly four chords on his guitar, and his flat, breathy voice is infuriating.

Because even a "poor man's Cat Stevens" is better than most of the rubbish released these days. He may not be that brilliant, but he does have a light, crafty and listenable songwriting style like Cat Stevens once had.

He got big. People who dislike anything mainstream wrote him off. I happen to think on a rare occasion mainstream radio play just happens to get it right...as here in Jack's case.

Interesting remarks regarding JJ.Not a typical RP song(too popular),but I still like it.

tripe.
