I like Jack Johnson, but i don't think he's as good as i was hoping he would be... anyway Ben Harper i don't know much from but he's pretty good

Jack Johnson is cool. :mrgreen: "Bubble Toes" and "Sexy Plexi" are my favorites.

depends if you like to be mellow like me it is perfect, but it is better when drunk (plus ben harper is a giant pot head), or you might like trippy stuff like pink floyd

Floyd is veerrrrry cool....haha! (I could listen to Wish You Were Here or Comfortably Numb on repeat)

Actually most of the people in my area of NY seem to be HUGE on Harper, probably b/c of the Floyd connection. Note: I've also NEVER seen soooo freakin many "dead heads" in my life.

Arrrgh....I'm gonna give myself a head ache now.

I've been hooked on ben ever since i heard 'lonely day', and most of jack's last album was amazing :nod:

I don't think you should label it as 'stoner music', because, well, it kicks ass! :mrgreen:

i'm not i am just saying it can be used for that...the best part of jack johnson's cd is the way you can really hear all the instruments; it is the prefect combo of bass(my favorite part), gutair, and drums
