Since OT seem to be in the mood for some music talk today I was just wondering what people think about this man. I absolutely love his music his beats and lyrics are straight forward and simple, I know this is the reason why some people find him boring but since when did music have to be "complicated" to be good.

Anyways here are some samples.

He's a budding young defenseman for the LA Kings. :D As for the musician, he's ok. His music is easy to listen to.

Not a fan at all. To me, Jack Johnson is the very definition of middle-of-the-road.

All of his songs have the same "sitting on a beach having a good time with my friends" sound.

All of his songs sound the same, but I'll listen to him every once in a while. Not a huge fan though.

I kind of agree that about all of his song sound the same with the same vibe but he is real good at it. He knows who he is and want kind of audience he has and I think I he really tries to please them with each of the song but not being to experimental. I apprecciate that from an artist he's a pretty big name guy and is still sticking to his roots.

My first exposure to JJ was when my ball n' chain dragged me to see the Curious George movie a few years ago. Let's just say the combination of cartoon monkey antics and JJ's lullaby-like soundtrack I got knocked the **** out. So yeah his music literally puts me to sleep.

He gets a lot of unnecessary hate. I bought one of his albums back in the day (the one with the tree on the front) and it was nice, calming and relaxing music to chill to. He does have the same sort of sound with all of his songs, but so what? So long as people enjoy them and they're well made, which they are.

Yea i like him too and used to listen to his music a while back. I recently got into a guy called Jose Gonzalez who has a similar sound but imo a better voice. Here are some samples :)

Despite being much more mellow than most of the music I like I still enjoy his music. Sure it's not really complicated and alot of his songs sound similar but the thing is he's really really good at making relaxing songs, just kind of washes my troubles away.

I used to think he was alright, but ever since my parents got all the albums and started listening to Jack Johnson pretty much every time they put a record on, I can't stand him. I think I had a a JJ OD :P

I like his music because it is easily accessible and family friendly. I always keep his cd's in my car for when I'm driving around my nieces and nephews or one of the many children I chauffeur around because they enjoy it and I don't have to worry about them listening to something they shouldn't be.
