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.

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.

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.

Odd that this tune is rated so low.  What do you guys want, "Big Yellow Taxi" all the time?  This is Joni's classic live album (a must have if you're a fan) and this tune does it for me.

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

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!

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! {#Cool}

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

I'm an old fogey myself, Luca77, having first heard Joni in my late teens.  I agree with you however, that respect has to be earned.  The baby boomer generation has done some good things but much of the counter-culture ideals were actually bought to us mostly by the generation born in the 1940's (people Joni MItchell's age).  If anything the world is worse off now than it was 30 years ago. I don't blame a lot of younger people thinking maybe we baby boomers consumed, hoarded and polluted more than our share.  And I know a few younger people who are eminently worthy of respect.

Joni Mitchell and the LA Express are a very cool combo. They both raise each other a whole notch.

Thanks for playing some Joni, one of my top 10 all time artists. If you don't like her music, that's ok, she's way too cool to even begin to discuss for any of you under the age of 35. Sorry, she'll always be the queen.
