"Take Me Home Country Road" is great and "I'm Leaving on a Jet Plane" if you find a video with John and Cass Elliot singing it together you will love it.
This song always makes me cry. It is our theme song as for a while I was living in Vancouver and my now hubby was in Ottawa. Took us about 2 years to be in the same city.
Whenever I hear of the song Leaving On A Jet Plane, the movie Armageddon always comes to mind, but even way before that I bought a record album at the mall/ It featured this song on it by John Lindsey, who I guess was one of the singers that popularized the song at the time in the early 70s.
The first concert I ever went to was John Denver. My BFF and I were 15 when we attended. It was fantastic! You should give a listen to Calypso. It never fails to transport me to the ocean when I close my eyes and surrender to it. Blessings to you!
John Denver was one of the greatest musical/lyrical story tellers of all time. Plus he had that beautiful voice. Had he lived I can only imagine the music he would have made.
If I could make a suggestion, now that you've heard his early voice find him later in life anything from the 80s on. His voice is deeper richer and is he been spoke about hi reworked how he son all the lyrics, putting feeling into every lyric he wrote. Also go past his greatest hits although perhaps love Was a pretty big head and it's magnificent. Check out something like "The Wings that Fly us Home.". JD is literally the music of my soul. And I've long felt some of his best songs have never been heard by casual fans! And maybe check out some of his live concerts that are up on RUclips. As good as he was on recording, he was a million times better in person. And I was blessed to have seen him literally from my teenage years until his last tour.
“Calypso” is titled after the name of Jacques Cousteau’s ship. He was dedicated to conservation of the ocean and you close your eyes during the song and feel like you are there.
I remember teenage me at Macy's when they 1st opened to run through like a maniac to their ticketmaster and still only getting crappy seats. Later in life I worked in a field where I could get free tickets to pretty much any show or sporting event I wanted. The only person I still stood in line for was John Denver, because I wanted to be closer down front. I'll never forget when I finally got my 1st front row seat and the idiot ticket master guy said " do you want front row or do you want me to put you farther back." I had literally waited my entire for that ticket!! He tried to tell me the sound was a bit better few rows ack. I pointed out that I had a great sound system and every album and CD he ever made at home, and get me that blasted front of ticket now!
i still get emotional when i hear him. "Back home again" is fuckin amazing, "sunshine on my shoulders" brings niagra fall worth of tears. You'll never get another singer/song writer as good as him. RIP
My New York brother was recruited during a summer tournament in New Mexico by a Colorado college on a baseball scholarship when he was 18. He's 59 now and is still there. Beautiful country out there!
You can never go wrong with a John Denver product. He along with Glen Campbell, Bobby Goldsboro, BJ Thomas, put you in a mood that takes you from the troubles and bad moods you may be in...... A class act!!!
Another wonderful songwriter. So thrilled to see a younger person enjoying the music of my generation. Really. Not many like you. Thanks for your interest in beautiful 🎶
Technically, I live there! :) Although not in Colorado. I'm STILL amazed that I can just casually stand outside on my porch and see dramatic mountain scenery every. single. day. After all these years!
Sunshine was playing on the radio when I heard that there had been an attempt on Ronald Reagan's life. Only time I ever heard "we interrupt this program" on the radio...
Some of the artists that I really liked growing up, like John Denver, ABBA, the Carpenters, and the Bee Gees, were ones that a lot of people made fun of then. But now, people are listening their music and saying "Wow, they were really talented!"
@@sharonlandis8207 Oh, I forgot Barry...yes, he definitely belongs in this category! One of my older sisters liked him a lot, and I got listening to him as well.
Susan MacDonald Yep! Me too Susan! Loved all of those! I've never been a fan of really heavy rock or Metal! Some more of my favourites growing up were Peter, Paul & Mary and The Seekers! Love The Seekers and growing up Down Under I listened to their beautiful music ALL the time! Take care and stay safe!
I remember when this song came out. It was a big hit and I bought the single. Played the snot out of it. "Calypso" would be a great song to react to next, or "Sunshine on My Shoulders." Either of them will make John Denver fans happy. He was also an actor. He starred alongside George Burns in the movie "Oh, God!" which went on to be the highest grossing comedy of all time, up to that point in time. RIP
The way I described John's music...his playing and his vocal ability...is PRISTINE. There is absolutely nothing more needed, other than his voice and his guitar.
Thanks man. I forgot how great john was.. we kinda took him for granite. Country roads is good next choice. I'm shipping you gift thru amazon today bro.. Love ya man...
You are right!! John Denver didn’t have a bad song. His voice was so distinct. You knew immediately that is was him when a new song came out. He truly was amazing. But, he died doing what he loved most, flying his plane. What a great loss for music. It’s so wonderful that the younger generation can appreciate his greatness. He was truly one of a kind. The soundtracks of my life. Unfortunately, when I hear his unbelievable voice and songs, it makes me wonder why I settled in life, and not waited for what was best for me. I’m glad you enjoyed the wonderful soundtracks of my life!
One day when I was 12, I was poking through my dad's 1980s era stereo and found his John Denver cd. I put it in (a cd player in the 80s must've been pricey!) and fell in love immediately.
Thank you, JV. Sincerely. I’ve always adored his voice. I saw his concert in Sydney in 1983. The concert was called ‘A Man and His Guitar’. I was with my late sister. One of my faves. He was truly so talented that he didn’t need a backing band. Just him and his guitar. I miss my sister and I miss JD. Both so much. 💖
I"m a Colorado native... I've never found anywhere else I'd like to live so I've never left! I love this homage to my beautiful state. He's singing about himself. He was born in the summer of his 27th year refers to when he came here he felt born again. He loved it here so he stayed. I've seen it rain and fire in the sky is about the storms he witnessed. There's nothing like walking through the forest with the peace and serenity and the occasional sight of an eagle, deer or other spectacular wildlife.
@Donna Hendricks Actually "I've seen it raining fire in the sky" was based on the Perseid meteor showers. Very specifically 1 year when he Annie and friends were up camping and a star went by so close you could almost touch it and hear it. He's told the story many times it's magical you should listen to it And I'm jealous of you! it's such a beautiful state! I finally made it to Aspen during the Perseids, and of all times it was a full moon and worst viewing in .years Still a fabulous trip!
Jay I loved your reaction. This song is definitely about him. I grew up in this region of the country and I can feel it in my soul. By the way I saw your reaction to the scorpions Wind of change, yesterday right before it was taken down I’m so sorry that happened😕 I was unable to comment so I will just say you hit the nail on the head it was awesome thank you so much. You are the first person I’ve seen that got what it was about right away.❤️😃👍✌️🌼Love and peace.
Can never, I repeat never go wrong with John Denver.....such a classy humble guy with a raw talent of good songwriting and singing. If you haven't reacted to it yet you should check out Country Roads.......Also Annie's song (for his wife) absolutely beautiful. Oops should've waited til end to comment about Annie's song.
I saw him live in Brisbane, Australia, in 1986. For 2/3rds of the concert it was just him and his guitar, he was then joined by a string quartet. A very memorable performances. RIP John.
I love John Denver and his songs. They're great to sing along to, and I can keep up with most of them. The two songs when he leaves me in the dust are Calypso a song about Jacques Cousteau, and the absolute lung buster, The Eagle and The Hawk.
I love this song! And he sounds just as great live. “And they say that he got crazy once, and he tried to touch the sun. And he lost a friend, but kept his memory. “
This was an autobiographical experience that he discusses in his autobiography, which is also available in audiobook form. My wife & I listened to it on a road trip.
“Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy”... another FANTASTIC song by John from my childhood. Just makes you want to close your eyes and listen. You can almost feel the warmth! ☀️
The song is about himself. The first time he saw the mountains in Colorado, he was 27. And he loved it. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. became John Denver. My mom listened to him and actually had my whole BROWNIE TROOP sing “Sweet Surrender” at a Girl Scout Meet. Lol, love the memories.RIP JOHN DENVER RIP MOM ❤️
Such a loss at much to young an age. One of the first "conservationist's of current times (70's). He fell in love with Colorado, with nature. A self discovery song. RIP John. Gone, but never forgotten.
I still miss John so much and I have always loved his songs and voice since I was in grade 5 at elementary school. He is always legend to me. And I will always remember pureness he brings to my heart until I die.
His song 'Leaving on a Jet Plane' was a preshadowing of his actual death as he crashed his newly acquired personal jet into the ocean as it ran out of fuel. he walked with us a short time but he made music that will last for as long as music is enjoyed in this world. Thanx for that Jayvee. Your a good man.
John Denver’s music has been a part of my life all my life. I grew up listening to John (and others) now departed from this world. If you really want to get the sense of what John was talking about, listen to this song atop Pike’s Peak in Colorado. Mind blowing!!! 😮
This song is about John himself. He loved mountains, especially the Rockies. His other very famous song about mountains, "Take Me Home, Country Roads", is now the official state song of The Mountain State - West Virginia.
When you get to FRED NEIL you will be hearing the teacher and the door to the stage, at the CAFE WHA? in Greenwich village in NY. He put JOHN DENVER, DYLAN, JUDY COLLINS, NEIL YOUNG and STEVE STILLS, and PETE SEEGER, and MARY TRAVERSE, ODETTA and hundreds more on the stage, after they watched and listened to FRED and learned how.
He talked to God and listened to the casual reply...as a christian I have experienced that God does talk to you but he does it through other things other people animals ect....I was going through divorce and didn't understand why my ex wouldn't talk about it... I asked God to show me what I should do...3 hrs later i was driving through town and looked over and saw my wife with another guy holding hands....shure it was painful but he cared for me enough to time that so I saw it. There is no coincidences in Life
I recommend "Rhymes and Reasons", "Goodbye Again", "Cowboy's Delight", "For Baby (For Bobby)", "Love Is Everywhere", "Calypso" and my personal favorite "The Eagle and the Hawk". Glad you like John so much, he was an amazing songwriter that I'm glad I got to hear while growing up in the 1970s. The world lost a great person and soul when he passed away.
I know this isn't a common tip, but you have to check out "Air-Conditioned Nightmare" by Mr. Bungle. Really talented musicians and just... Surprising stuff. Uh, to be clear... Very far from John Denver (who was great!)
"Take Me Home Country Road" is great and "I'm Leaving on a Jet Plane" if you find a video with John and Cass Elliot singing it together you will love it.
This song always makes me cry. It is our theme song as for a while I was living in Vancouver and my now hubby was in Ottawa. Took us about 2 years to be in the same city.

LOVE both!!!!
1972 midnight special leaving on a jet plane John Denver feat." Mama" Cas Elliot
So is sunshine on my shoulders heard that when i was a kid in arizona
I love John Denver 🥰😍😘R.I.P
Yeah this great song is autobiographical. You can always tell when the lyrics are from a real life experience. So great
The first concert I ever went to was John Denver. My BFF and I were 15 when we attended. It was fantastic! You should give a listen to Calypso. It never fails to transport me to the ocean when I close my eyes and surrender to it. Blessings to you!
My first concert when I was 16 was September 22, 1973 in San Bernardino for John Denver's concert in the Swing Auditorium
Seeking grace with every step he takes gives me goosebumps every time..
Thank you, Good Reaction! This is my favorite song by John Denver. We're all high on hypoxia! It's a great song, no drugs needed!
John Denver was one of the greatest musical/lyrical story tellers of all time. Plus he had that beautiful voice. Had he lived I can only imagine the music he would have made.
His voice is timeless.
I really miss his voice, thank god for you tube, such a tragic loss
Colorado would BLOW YOUR MIND!
If I could make a suggestion, now that you've heard his early voice find him later in life anything from the 80s on. His voice is deeper richer and is he been spoke about hi reworked how he son all the lyrics, putting feeling into every lyric he wrote.

Check out Calypso.☺
Eagles and Horses
A Song for all lovers
Calypso
Sine of his less commercial, but great songs.
I recommend "Take Me Home, Country Roads" for your next John Denver song.
I’ve always loved John Denver. I was devastated when he died. Thanks for reacting to him.
Eagle and the Hawk was one of my favourites.
I remember when John Denver just exploded onto the airwaves. He dominated the radio for years, every song an almost instant hit.
he had the midas touch for sure :)
Lisa K He had the talent. 💜
“Calypso” is titled after the name of Jacques Cousteau’s ship. He was dedicated to conservation of the ocean and you close your eyes during the song and feel like you are there.
Laura Waldon That’s definitely one of my faves. 👍💖

This is the music of the radio and the turntable when I was a boy in the 70s. Music of my life. Try "Calypso," which is about Jaques Cousteau.
cshubs my fav John Denver song
Love Calypso !! I think maybe there is a video of him playing this at Red Rocks ???
He needs to do Calypso and there is a video too !
Yes
It was JD's favorite song
"He was born in the Summer of his 27th year". He fell in love with Colorado, and became a conservationist.
"Coming home to a place he'd never been before". Sheer brilliance.
My New York brother was recruited during a summer tournament in New Mexico by a Colorado college on a baseball scholarship when he was 18. He's 59 now and is still there. Beautiful country out there!
He was born in Roswell, NM. Yes, that Roswell. I also live in NM.
@@MoMoMyPup10 Colorado is on my bucket list :))
I miss the 70s and the Love of the land . 😢
You can never go wrong with a John Denver product. He along with Glen Campbell, Bobby Goldsboro, BJ Thomas, put you in a mood that takes you from the troubles and bad moods you may be in...... A class act!!!
Ashley Stewart Let’s hear some B. J. Thomas Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head!
That was great time for music!! Also "bubblegum pop"!!
Glen Campbell "Wichita Lineman" is a great song..One of Glen's best :))
Love this song! And you really should visit Colorado!
Oh yeah BJ Thomas, Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head
Another wonderful songwriter. So thrilled to see a younger person enjoying the music of my generation. Really. Not many like you. Thanks for your interest in beautiful 🎶
The thing about him is, he’s sincere, and real. I think we all can connect to that.
💯%
You have to experience the Rockies once in your life.
Agree 100% 🙂👍 🏔
Technically, I live there! :) Although not in Colorado. I'm STILL amazed that I can just casually stand outside on my porch and see dramatic mountain scenery every. single. day. After all these years!
Sunshine On My Shoulders
I love that song. I have cried several times while listening to it because it really touches my heart. R.I.P. John.
If I had a day I could give you, I’d give you a day just like today...
@@amyk9175 If I had a song that I could sing for you I'd sing a song to make you feel this way 🦋🌺💮🌼
Sunshine was playing on the radio when I heard that there had been an attempt on Ronald Reagan's life. Only time I ever heard "we interrupt this program" on the radio...
Love this song. In my top three Denver songs.
"Talk to God and listen to the casual reply...."
What a lyric. 🙏 Why his music is so peaceful.
My favorite lyric in the song.
Some of the artists that I really liked growing up, like John Denver, ABBA, the Carpenters, and the Bee Gees, were ones that a lot of people made fun of then. But now, people are listening their music and saying "Wow, they were really talented!"
This is SO true and The Carpenter’s and Bee Gee’s always we’re and still are my favorite’s!!!!!
@Krieger LOL!
I agree. Barry Manilow was another artist in that category.
@@sharonlandis8207 Oh, I forgot Barry...yes, he definitely belongs in this category! One of my older sisters liked him a lot, and I got listening to him as well.
Susan MacDonald Yep! Me too Susan! Loved all of those! I've never been a fan of really heavy rock or Metal! Some more of my favourites growing up were Peter, Paul & Mary and The Seekers!

I bought the single of Calypso and did the same!
Love me some JD. One of the great singer songwriters of our time. Throw in some James Taylor too. Start with Carolina in my mind. Incredible!
James is a awesome singer song writer as is Carol King
He had his own variety show in the 70s because he was so talented and likable.
I've always loved John Denver ❤️ I don't think his music is played enough
The way I described John's music...his playing and his vocal ability...is PRISTINE. There is absolutely nothing more needed, other than his voice and his guitar.
Thanks man. I forgot how great john was.. we kinda took him for granite. Country roads is good next choice. I'm shipping you gift thru amazon today bro..
Love ya man...
Man in 1977 I was a kid and we drove out west.. this was one of the 8 tracks my parents played on the road
Edit: 8 track tape.
My first 8 track tape was John Denver Rocky Mountain High. 1972 I have it packed away somewhere.
You are right!! John Denver didn’t have a bad song. His voice was so distinct. You knew immediately that is was him when a new song came out. He truly was amazing.

They don’t make ‘em like John Denver any more ❤️RIP
Yea! John Denver! great choice you can never go wrong with John Denver
I loved his song Grandmas Feather Bed
I play that song and a bunch of his songs got me stated picking the guitar my first album was An Evening with John Denver.
Thats such a FUN song!
Leaving on a Jet Plane is another real nice song by him.
Thank God I'm a Country Boy is another song you'll like.
"I just feel like listening to some John Denver" said no young kid ever 😂. You got discerning taste Jovaughn.
Ikr! That blessed my heart.
lol, speak for yourself. My music teacher in the 2nd or 3rd grade had us learn a Denver song, and I was hooked from that point on.
samsbro1952 i sure said it. His writing talent is out of this world.
I said it as a kid and still do - glad I got discerning taste as well
One day when I was 12, I was poking through my dad's 1980s era stereo and found his John Denver cd. I put it in (a cd player in the 80s must've been pricey!) and fell in love immediately.

Love love love his voice. It’s so natural and smooth. His female counterpart is Anne Murray. You’d love her voice too!
Alison Krauss - I'm convinced her voice is what angels sound like
Agree! I really hope he'll react to Anne Murray. What song though? Hard to pick! Just fall in love again. Can't go wrong with that.
Randal Johnson ....I was thinking How Great Thou Art- beautiful song with a beautiful voice! 👍
@@RJohnson2024 You needed me.
@@InsubordinationFreak that was the one that my Mum loved because she looked after my Dad who was diagnosed as terminal when I was 8.
Unfortunately, I never appreciated him in the 70s. Can't get enough of this AMAZING artist now.
I absolutely agree I did not appreciate his music until listening to it again now. Amazing!
By far my favorite John Denver song....
mine too :))
I love his live version of “Thank God I’m A Country Boy” Perfect song, perfectly sang. Miss him.
Home Free did an excellent cover of his song, Country Roads. Beautiful. John Denver's music gives me a warm and peaceful feeling inside.
I"m a Colorado native... I've never found anywhere else I'd like to live so I've never left! I love this homage to my beautiful state.

I'm an Arizona native. The ONLY state that could take me away....Colorado. Been there a handful of times and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I am a Colorado native and I photographed the Milky Way over Independence Pass near Aspen. I would never live anywhere else than Colorado Springs.
That is real song there. So beautiful. I remember hearing it on the radio in the 70’s. It made me tear up. So simple and yet so moving.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written
Amazing talent
Jay I loved your reaction. This song is definitely about him. I grew up in this region of the country and I can feel it in my soul.

Very soothing music. He has many great tracks. He definitely cared about the environment.
Can never, I repeat never go wrong with John Denver.....such a classy humble guy with a raw talent of good songwriting and singing. If you haven't reacted to it yet you should check out Country Roads.......Also Annie's song (for his wife) absolutely beautiful. Oops should've waited til end to comment about Annie's song.
What talent! I lived in Colorado for many years.-they loved him there. Nice pick, Jay!
When he died I cried for 3 days. I couldn’t even work. Amazing
The live performance of “Calypso” is a fantastic Denver song
Played this all the time when I lived in colorado as I drove over molas,coal bank and red mountain pass. Loved his music
George Harrison's " What is Life " just do it, lol
High on life! Also, you might give his “Calypso “ a listen.
I saw him live in Brisbane, Australia, in 1986. For 2/3rds of the concert it was just him and his guitar, he was then joined by a string quartet. A very memorable performances. RIP John.
The entire album this is from is perfect. A lot of early 70s movies and music seemed to focus on nature and spirituality of one sort or the other.
hi can you please react to “moonage daydream” and “ziggy stardust” by david bowie? btw i love your channel :)
Don't miss "Sunshine on my shoulder" probably my favorite or "Eclipse" "Calypso"
"I'm Sorry" is one of his very best.
Listen to John Denver's SUNSHINE ON MY SHOULDERS
One of my favorite childhood songs. Brings back such wonderful memories.
I love John Denver and his songs. They're great to sing along to, and I can keep up with most of them. The two songs when he leaves me in the dust are Calypso a song about Jacques Cousteau, and the absolute lung buster, The Eagle and The Hawk.
'Looking for Space' live at Sydney Opera House.....he nails it. His vocals are restrained in the studio. Live he cuts loose.
LOVE watching your reactions, man!!! You get 'IT'!!! And yes, not a bad song.
Keep doing what you're doing... we all really appreciate it.
"Thank god I'm a country boy" by John Denver.
I love this song! And he sounds just as great live. “And they say that he got crazy once, and he tried to touch the sun. And he lost a friend, but kept his memory. “
This was an autobiographical experience that he discusses in his autobiography, which is also available in audiobook form. My wife & I listened to it on a road trip.
nobody paints a better picture with music than John. amazing songwriter.
Take me home Country road just love him way back in the day
“Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy”... another FANTASTIC song by John from my childhood. Just makes you want to close your eyes and listen. You can almost feel the warmth! ☀️
So glad you're listening to J.D. again; one of my favorite artists. His voice is so BEAUTIFULLY SOFT!!! He has MANY MANY great songs!
You gotta listen too an Elton John song called “Daniel”.
That's my favorite along with Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
I love his voice. Country and folk type songs from him. He was the best.
I wish someone would review "Christmas for Cowboys" by John Denver :)
I think your ready to move up to the "Young Rascals" "It's a Beautiful Morning"
The song is about himself. The first time he saw the mountains in Colorado, he was 27. And he loved it. Henry John Deutschendorf Jr. became John Denver. My mom listened to him and actually had my whole BROWNIE TROOP sing “Sweet Surrender” at a Girl Scout Meet. Lol, love the memories.RIP JOHN DENVER RIP MOM ❤️
Such a loss at much to young an age. One of the first "conservationist's of current times (70's). He fell in love with Colorado, with nature. A self discovery song. RIP John. Gone, but never forgotten.
I still miss John so much and I have always loved his songs and voice since I was in grade 5 at elementary school. He is always legend to me. And I will always remember pureness he brings to my heart until I die.
The perfect song about a person suddenly finding himself and finding what matters.
It’s about himself. He first went to Colorado first time when he was 27, it became his home.
"John Denver Recordings put you in a trance"... Yes... Pure "Ear Candy"...! : ) : ) : )
Jayvee you must go to the mountains! You will never forget it.
His song 'Leaving on a Jet Plane' was a preshadowing of his actual death as he crashed his newly acquired personal jet into the ocean as it ran out of fuel. he walked with us a short time but he made music that will last for as long as music is enjoyed in this world. Thanx for that Jayvee. Your a good man.
You got to get back to Pearl Jam. You loved Black- Try Pearl Jam- Alive unplugged version
Mountains 🙌🏻
I think he might have died. In those mountains in a plane crash ..we lost him much to early.. love his music.
I think it happened in southern California.
@@bethshadid2087 got ya.. Thank you.
Experimental aircraft, something to do with the fuel reserve lever being in a different spot.

I always thought Rocky Mountain High was about himself. Just seemed to be very personal.
Check Out Wild Montana Skies, Carolina On My Mind and Sunshine On My Shoulders and also Leaving On A Jet Plane By John Denver
This song is about John himself. He loved mountains, especially the Rockies. His other very famous song about mountains, "Take Me Home, Country Roads", is now the official state song of The Mountain State - West Virginia.
When you get to FRED NEIL you will be hearing the teacher and the door to the stage, at the CAFE WHA? in Greenwich village in NY.
He put JOHN DENVER, DYLAN, JUDY COLLINS, NEIL YOUNG and STEVE STILLS, and PETE SEEGER, and MARY TRAVERSE, ODETTA and hundreds more on the stage, after they watched and listened to FRED and learned how.
Absolutely love John Denver!
He talked to God and listened to the casual reply...as a christian I have experienced that God does talk to you but he does it through other things other people animals ect....I was going through divorce and didn't understand why my ex wouldn't talk about it... I asked God to show me what I should do...3 hrs later i was driving through town and looked over and saw my wife with another guy holding hands....shure it was painful but he cared for me enough to time that so I saw it. There is no coincidences in Life
I recommend "Rhymes and Reasons", "Goodbye Again", "Cowboy's Delight", "For Baby (For Bobby)", "Love Is Everywhere", "Calypso" and my personal favorite "The Eagle and the Hawk". Glad you like John so much, he was an amazing songwriter that I'm glad I got to hear while growing up in the 1970s. The world lost a great person and soul when he passed away.
I know this isn't a common tip, but you have to check out "Air-Conditioned Nightmare" by Mr. Bungle. Really talented musicians and just... Surprising stuff. Uh, to be clear... Very far from John Denver (who was great!)
