@@JohnSmith-uy7sv Nope.....you're the same John Smith that made the same two sour comments above. You said it, you wear it dude....DUH! 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.
