What is your favorite John Denver album?

[aquaman]

Don't deny the fact that you like John Denver! I can listen to Slayer and then put on John Denver and feel fine. My favorite CD is "Legendary John Denver" cause it has everything.

1. Farewell Andromeda

It's the one I saw the picture of most...

2. I have truly eclectic music tastes...but

I have to admit I own every single US-released JD album (and a few imports)! (I went a little crazy when he died).

Favorites? a little hard, but...in no particular order, Rhymes and Reasons, Poems, Prayers & Promises, Aerie, Rocky Mountain High, Farewell Andromeda, Windsong, A Night With John Denver, and The Wildlife Concert are certainly my favorites.

I don't listen that often any more, but he is very welcoming to come back to from time to time...

7. No, that's "Oh God I'm an Ocean Buoy"

Took a flight from Monterey
And I never came back
Bought a plane from a kit
That was built by a quack
Jumped in the cockpit
And downed a six pack

And now I'm an ocean buoy

Well, it's hard when you're flyin'
And your sluggin' on a bottle
Flying in a plane
That's an experimental model
Reached for Jim Beam
But instead I grabbed the throttle

Oh God! I'm an ocean buoy

Well, I grabbed the controls
And I started to fiddle
Got flames coming up
On my face like a griddle
Air flight's nothin'
But a funny funny riddle

Oh God! I'm an ocean buoy

Well, my head's chopped to pieces
And my body's full of dents
They identified me
By my guitar's finger prints
I tried to dry out
But instead got a rinse

And now I'm an ocean buoy

Well I'm feeling kinda down
And I'm sinking kinda low
In the undersea world
Of Jacque Cousteau
Bobbing up and down
When the trade winds blow

'Cause now I'm an ocean buoy

Well, I grabbed the controls
And I started to fiddle
Got flames coming up
On my face like a griddle
Air flights nothing
But a funny funny riddle

Oh God! I'm an ocean buoy. Woohoo!

When the plane dove down
It was nothing but a riddle
My pants got wet
When I started to piddle
George Burns appeared beside me
And we prayed just a little

Woo! Oh God! I'm an ocean buoy

5. D.W.I. Colorado

“Uh, pull over.”

I’d been sippin’ on some vino
From a pretty decent year
Zippin’ home in my classic Porsche 914
I saw flashin’ lights behind me
Heard a siren in the wind
And I wondered what the ossifer pulled me over for

When I first rolled down the window
He stuck a flashlight in my eyes
So I smiled and I asked him what was wrong
He said your left taillight is broken
You missed a stop sign way back there
You’re going way too fast
And your breath smells pretty strong

In the Colorado Rocky Mountains high
I’m weavin’ left to right and side-to-side
Now I’m trying hard to touch my nose
But I always stab my eye

DWI Colorado

DWI Colorado

“Uh, step out of the car. You’re doomed, ‘Mr. Sunshine On My Shoulders’. You’re drivin’ on the shoulder.”

6. I am amazed that...

Denver's DWI problems are so focal to many people, though he has been dead for so many years. Compared to the drug problems of so many singers/songwriters, Denver's problems were regrettable, I'm sure, but certainly not deserving of the "scandal" that seemed to follow him.

I just don't get it... Just the squeaky clean image he had early in life that bugs people? Denver was an incredible progressive, conservationist, ecologist, and humanist before it was cool to be either. Whether one likes his music or not, that alone should make him respected on this board, IMO. Human enough to make mistakes, yup. Like all of us... :shrug:
