April 27, 200420 yr comment_200228 He shouldn't be compared to anyone really ...... a fairly unique style if you like buffett you should give jim morris a look ... good stuff as well .. great lyrics I prefer buffett to marley, although I really like marley beside the style differences there is also a big difference in message either way, you don't have to like jimmy, but you do need to respect what he's done He has one of the most loyal fan bases, a career that has lasted for around 40 releases (including compilations & live shows) and 3 decades of work 5 have gone gold, 6 platinum and 2 multiplatinum (including his box set which has sold over 4 million) His tours are one of the top grossing every year .. he owns his own label, does whatever project he feels and has complete freedom in his career Most musicians would kill for this He isn't the most talented, but he'll put himself on the line, write his own stuff and simply be himself dismiss it if you may ... but i'll take something like that over the mass produced pop crap out there today Link to comment https://www.marlinsbaseball.com/topic/11692-jimmy-buffett/?&do=findComment&comment=200228 Share on other sites More sharing options...
April 28, 200420 yr comment_200229 I dont equate commercial success with being talented or enjoyable to listen to. Its just my opinion though. I can certainly see why people enjoy Buffet.

April 28, 200420 yr comment_200230 nor do I but you have to give it up to someone who has accomplished all that with not a single video that has been played, very limited radio airplay (like 3 songs - 1 and a half hits) and a grassroots following I'm not saying you have to like it .. but you have to respect it Link to comment https://www.marlinsbaseball.com/topic/11692-jimmy-buffett/?&do=findComment&comment=200230 Share on other sites More sharing options...
April 28, 200420 yr comment_200231 Huge Parrot head here... ...love all of his songs, I for the most part, can't say that about other musicians I listen to because there is always a track on an album that I'm not to crazy about. But Buffett's style and songs are off the wall, I like them all. His concerts are crazy as well...

May 1, 200420 yr comment_200240 annoying as s***...used to love it, but now hate it with a passion. Marley > Buffet I'm with Shamrock on this one. I still like SOME of his songs, but I really get annoyed with it most of the time now. I will admit, I cannot equate anyone else with what he's done for longer. Pretty original.
