Thank you for this thread. I remember at the time John Denver was growing popular, there seemed to be a (sneering?) opinion in my circle of folkmusic and/or rockmusic friends that he wasn't hip enough, or pure enough, or alternative enough to be respected. HOW WRONG THEY WERE. John's music has proved to be timeless, and no one could wrap his lilting voice around a melody like he did. Some of my favorites: Calypso Country Roads Starwood in Aspen Sunshine on My Shoulders
