To think John Denver's music stands the test of time?

I loved to listen to him singing, but couldn`t stand to watch him, looks didn`t match voice.

I love John Denver’s voice and all his songs. The lyrics always meant a lot to me. His image changed over the years and I read that after he died (on my birthday! ) his family sold most of the land that he had bought for conservation.

I was always a great John Denver fan, and bought all his records.

His songs bring back happy memories.

When I went into labour with our first DC we left the house at midnight to drive to the hospital.In the cassette machine was a John Denver tape and to this day Grandmas feather bed song takes me immediately back to the excitement and happiness of starting our family.

I really liked John Denver especially Annie’s Song as it is my name!!!

Love his music, and had quite the teenage crush on him . Leaving on a Jet Plane is a favourite of mine.

John Denver's songs bring back lovely memories from my young day. I was really surprised when I learned that he was not a country boy at all.

He was my H's favourite singer along with Neil Diamond.

Love John Denver,he was a troubled man and had a lot of problems.

My first son is named after one of his songs.

He died shortly before my husband in 1997 and we had his music played at the funeral.

I love Cool an' Green an' Shady, it's one of my favourites, as is Matthew.
John Denver died too young.

We listen to his albums, I also love Calypso BlueSapphire.
We had a quiz last night, my sister’s birthday so it was all about her. I hardly knew any of her ‘playlist’, she is 10years younger than me.
I said that it would be interesting to see that if we did my favourites if she would recognise mine. It was decided (there are 4 of us) that my era was the music era that everyone knew. Weren’t we lucky?

Krispii, you took the words right out of my mouth (there’s a song in there too but not JD’s !) that has such happy memories of my summer job in 1977. The words are magical and the tune so simple and stunning, as are the words. Have you seen the film of the same name? (Or maybe that’s a white lie my boyfriend at the time told me as he didn’t like JD at all)

Sunshine on my Shoulders is the one for me.

I think his songs are as good today as when he first sung them, I went through a phase in the 70's of buying every LP of his that I could find and still have them.

Love his song Calypso. Had it played at DH's funeral as its about Jacques Cousteau's diving boat, and Cousteau was DH's hero.

Love John Denver songs! A couple of years ago my second cousin - very much a country man who grew up on a farm, had Country roads played at the end of his funeral as people left. I started humming gently - I was sitting at the back. The lady next to me joined in and then gradually everyone joined in and sang quietly as they left the crematorium. It was a very special memory and his wife and family thought it was wonderful and completely unplanned. They said he would have loved it.

I have always loved (most of) his music. Saw him perform live once, just him and about 5 different guitars on stands behind which he switched between depending on the song. He had the audience totally captivated - his voice was superb.
My Dad & sister had seen him a couple of times previously but I’d not been able to go, so glad I had the chance as he died 2 or 3 years later

I don't think it's reasonable or unreasonable as for you they do stand the test of time - they do for me too. Good Country music talks about life so it often catches you and he had a lovely voice. I was lucky enough to go to see him and I admired the fact that he was and activisist so the Peace Poem and songs such as Last Night I had the Strangest Dream were not just songs of their time but things he wanted for the world.

When i started guitar lessons at night school years ago we learned Country road, and Annies Song, and i learned that playing the guitar was not as easy as I thought it would be.

Not really, unless you liked them first time around, which I did and still do

A few years ago we were driving through the Shenendoah NP and Take Me Home Country Roads , made me sniff a lot, it seemed so appropriate.

I liked his music but not so keen on the man.

I have his albums Poems Prayers and Promises and Rhymes and Reasons. I love listening to them. They still sound good.

I wouldn`t go out of my way to put Jd`s songs on, but i don`t turn them off either.

‘Perhaps Love’ is a beautiful song.

Also the one with the lines ‘and the moon and the stars are the same ones we see, it’s the same old sun up in the sky’.

Always makes me think of DD in Australia, the words are so true.
