The magic that is Joni Mitchell.

[dennilfloss]

After four decades of listening to Joni, I still cannot fully comprehend the magic that is her. God sure broke the mould after making this incredibly talented, beautiful and so influential woman. There is such grace and meaning in her words and melodies, such an ethereal quality to her voice and instrument playing.

Here are a few videos.

I'll give your links a listen. I'm not old enough to have listened to her at the time when she was most popular, but I have heard her songs occasionally. Excellent singer from what I've heard.

EDIT: Timewarp, OP below.

Saw her 3 times in concert, and they were all great!

 

[IronWing]

She wrote Urge for Going and Tom Rush covered it. Therefore, they both get to go to heaven.

Joni Mitchell? was she that little girl from Full House?

I envy you.

She's talented, but I've never been a big fan of female singers, especially the singer/songwriter/folk style.

In the dictionary her picture is under "hippy chick".

Lol, you're thinking of Jodie Sweetin, aka Stephanie.

How rude.

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

Horrible voice IMO.

Saw her in England @ Wembley stadium after slipping the ticket taker a quid to get in on the advice of the french guys I was with -- also on the bill was Santana and Jesse Colin Young and the Youngbloods.

Blue is one of THE most beautiful albums of ALL TIME. :heart:

 

[rbV5]

Yup, she wrote one of Judas Priest's more memorable tunes!

 

[SlitheryDee]

I just can't like that kind of music. At its very best all it can do is avoid notice. My mind can't fix on it. I'm sure it's quite good though.

So, so, so etherally beautiful. :brokenheart:
