As I get older, I can only appreciate our Joni more than ever.

Wow — I would say the exact opposite....Maybe you are referring to the 1st few albums...but more than any other artist, I think she wins the most-morphed-thru-the-years award!  And a brilliant musician ( the ONLY female on the Rolling Stone Magazine top 100 greatest guitarist of all times)

No you don’t do you. You have my sympathies though. I hate to see people missing out on the good things of life.

This album is a top 20 of all time, IMHO. So personal and yet musically so coherent and not at all maudlin. The song "Little Green," not in the RP library, is about her giving her baby up for adoption. ("I'm sad and I'm sorry, but I'm not ashamed...")

Viva Joni.

Joni's style doesn't do much for me, but that "shampoo you" line cracks me up.

This is nice to hear once in a blue moon (no pun intended). Please don't put it in regular rotation, however, as it'll get old fast. And if you're into playing Joni, why not some Court & Spark?

All I can say is - sing Joni.  I am not a big fan of hers, but this album (Blue) is some of the best Joni.

To look at the histograph, it looks mostly like "love."  (A few indifferent.  So what's new?)

Yuck, Joni Mitchell. Giving it a 2 because it's sunny out and I'm feeling generous.

Wondrously exuberant.
Find myself singing this on my bike more often than not.

Dear Joni - happiness - pure happiness!!
A 10 of course!!

Gotta agree. It just grates on me, pick a note please, stop the breathless warbling please.

Its not even worth me rating because there are so many JM fans out there.

I just don't get it.

I remember purchasing my first album when I was in college back in the 70's (Court and Spark). Blue came later...what did I know? Great stuff.

The song I that I find myself singing most often - in the shower, on a bike - whatever - when I'm feeling happy.
It's bittersweet I know - but it has such an exhuberant feeling to it. I adore Joni & I just love this song!!

"All I really really want our love to do / Is to bring out the best in me and in you too". The album is a lyrical (and, of course, musical) masterpiece. For me, this line stands out in particular.

I actually didn't "discover" this album until last year and I absolutely adore it. I listened to it just this morning while getting ready for work.

Definitely a 10 for me.

While Joni had a good idea, I don't care for her execution. I think Suzanne Vega hits the mark - truly brilliant songsmith and arranger.

Remember that no one breaks into music without some kind of pioneer ahead of them, paving the way. Give Ms. Vega 30 years, and she may achieve an equal footing with Ms. Mitchell. She may be on the road, and she's damn good, but hasn't put out a body of work anywhere close to Mitchell's catalog.

Didn't mean to overreact. It's just that some statements can't go unchallenged.

Stunning song on a brilliant album. Then again, I’ll admit to being influenced by the wistful calling of Joni from the windows of college dorms throughout the nation. And whenever Joni was playing, odds improved remarkably……….

I really like the album and the song, but I have one problem:

Her singing is just on the verge of being really annoying. I can understand the people critizing her for her vocal fluctuations and so forth. But apart from that, the album and the song is absolutely fabolous!
