Be honest, who else likes James Taylor?!
Question: I don't know what it is about his music? His voice just somehow always draws me in. His music seems almost timeless to me.

okay I'm 26 and I think James Taylor is awesome! I always liked his music when my parents would play it. And I saw this PBS (I think) special and he was amazing! He is a wonderful singer!! You are right he's timeless! And this is coming from someone who likes rap and rock and all kinds of other types of music. Don't be ashamed to like what you like! I'll sing "I've seen Fire and I've seen Rain" (is that what that song is called?) out loud no matter who's around! lol!
the man is a classic! he rocks and always will.
his best:
the load out
stay
the pretender
fire and rain
your smiling face
My Favs are Anything from the Mud Slide Slim album and the song Fire and Rain
I like him, is there a large hatebase for him? I still have the LP with Fire & Rain.
I respect the guy. But I don't love his voice. I do really like 'Fire & Rain' though. Sad sad song. Also like Up on the Roof.
I gotta admit though, one song just bugs me- his cover of "How Sweet it Is (to be loved by you)". Don't know why.
youve got a friend in me buddy
I like some of his songs.
It's sorta hauntingly mellow, yeah!! (scary, ain't it?)
he's ok
I like his stuff but gotta be in the right mood.
He seems to surround himself with some killer players for his live shows, which helps.
PICK ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and also Livingston Taylor his brother!
love them both, Liv is funnier, but J.T. is classic.
Also I make the trip from Stockbridge to Boston....and back often in the winter. When the roads are clear but the trees are bent over with heavy snow. or I can look off into Quabin Vally and see the reservoir, I start to sing, hum, go for the C.D.
Oh my Stockbridge, well it is actually at UMASS. Amherst, Stockbridge is the name of the Agricultural School at UMass Amherst.
But no different! I take Rt. 2 west, to Rt. 202 to Amherst and watch the beauty unfold. on account of the frosting!
i like everything mentioned as well, but no one mentioned "her town too", thats a sad one too, its made me cry a few times. That one was written for Carly Simon no?
I don't have any problems being honest and saying that I like some of his songs. To my knowledge there's no real stigma about it. Having said that, I'm not very familiar with his work- I pretty much just know the iconic songs that everybody's heard at some point or other, like "Fire and Rain", "You've Got a Friend", etc.
i agree with you. he is a talented artist.
"I've seen fire and I've seen rain..."
I'm really glad to get this out in the open, I LOVE James Taylor. His voice is a voice that should never be forgotten. Having one of his albums is obligitory for a great collection!
