@thetwilighttriforce good answer and FINALLY someone could tell me why D Johnston connects with them.

@surfbum5412 I dont think that Johnstons music is anything about technique, skills or complex compositions, but I dont know any other artist that is able to deliver such honest and unadorned feelings and passion. But this is just opinion.

@sydbarrett5 And you didn't see my response? round and round with you faggots.

@surfbum5412 I didn't ask why you didn't like it (everyone is entitled to their tastes and opinions.) The question was why are you here watching this video if you don't like his music?

[surfbum5412]

@KellysBeans Do you play any instruments? If you did, you'd be laughing at yourself and your idiotic comment.

[surfbum5412]

Why I don't like it: Chord progression is the same in every song and comprised of 2-3 simple chords (i.e. G/D/A), Lyrics are way too literal and not enough ambiguity. As a musician, he really likes skills in keeping tempo and struggles with chord changes. And lastly, there are no layers of melody within the songs.

@sydbarrett5 Aaaahhhhhahahaha my favorite come back line of all time. I'm a fan of Sparklehorse and decided to take a look because Mark Linkous produced one of his albums. After listening to "walking the Cow," I formed an opinion, expressed that opinion, and now I'm debating with non-musicians as to why it's good, yet you guys haven't given me a single objective and educated response.

@surfbum5412 if you don't like his music then why are you here?

@surfbum5412 have fun for about 40 more years until you die and are forgotten because you've got no story to tell.

Hahaha most overrated musician. Since when did barely being able to play your instrument become cool? Oh yeah when hipsters said so, lol.
