John Denver was also great, but his songs generally didn't have the same "edge" that many 3 Dog songs did. For instance compare "Country Road" with 3 Dogs "Liar" or "Eli's Coming" or "Easy to be Hard" or "Celebrate" or "Mama Told Me Not To Come"....let alone "Joy to the World" and see what I mean. 3 Dog had a hard AND soft sound (Pieces of April" "Out in the Country" and "Let me Serenade You") while John Denver was mostly mild and more laid back. And yes I liked them BOTH but 3 Dog took the cake for most music lover's because they covered it all musically.
