Does anyone here like this guy? Does he only have female fans? Well, since we're pretty anonymous...I'm a fan...and I'm male. My favorite cds of his are "Room For Squares" and "Heavier Things." I can't understand how he's not one of the biggest selling singers of all time...seriously! I think the guy is incredible, but it seems like he doesn't enjoy singing the "pop" songs that got him noticed. I just picked up his new dvd and here's some observations:

1.) I prefer him singing acoustic.
2.) His face looks kinda disturbing while he's singing.
3.) Get rid of most of that blues music and the band.

So be honest...am I the only one who likes this guy?

my brother likes his older stuff. I personally can't stand him, that and the fact that he's banging the most overrated 'hot' chick in history currently, cause thats all the celeb sites talk about.

I like him...own all his CDs, seen him on tour...but I definitely prefer him with the Trio and playing the blues.

I'm with you Dave. I love Try! , It's his best album. I loved the theme of his first hit "No Such Thing", which was that who you were in high school doesn't mean thing ten years later. His new hit "Say" is just unlistenable, but most of his other stuff is pretty good. I think he's the first genuine superstar singer/songwriter with a R&R HOF future to come along since Sheryl Crow in 1994.

I don't care for his music.

No hate, he's just never done anything that has apealed to me.

AC loves his stuff. I can't stand it after the hundredth time.

He's OK. I decided he was a terrible lyricist when he included the phrase "running through the halls of my high school"... what the hell.

He is good, just boring, like Coldplay.

His appearance on Dave Chappele's show was pretty funny.

He's a great guitar player but I have no interest in listening to his music.

I think he's one of the best guitarists around and he seems like a pretty cool guy from watching him on Chappelle. I have Continuum which I thought was just ok. It was worth a listen or two but thats it. JM Trio is better, but I'm still meh on it.

Part of me wishes he would hook up with a great vocalist/lyricist. Kinda like what Audioslave did. That could be very interesting if he just played guitar. The other part of me is happy that he is making music he likes, even if not many other people do.

He's a talented musician who happens to write shit songs.

Saw his concert last night, and I think his main problem is, that's he "hollywood". The legends that he models himself after were people who lead not his life. He wants to be a blues artist with out the soul to make it work. He's a great guitarist but his profile is of such that he won't be known as the next Stevie Ray Vaughn.

seems like a funny guy (see: chappelle's show) but other than that his music makes me want to sleep (forever)

Saw him on Austin City Limits doing some SRV songs with Double Trouble. Not too shabby.

I liked one of his songs because of the instrumentation until it was played out to death (that one about change) - other than that I can't stand to hear him sing - the body wonderland song is a perfect example: too breathy.

John Mayer Trio > John Mayer

I hate him. I found his music boring to start with, then I dated a girl that was obsessed with him. She had his shit all over her room, like something you'd expect from a high schooler. Above her bed, she had a picture of her with the crew that set up the stage for one of his shows, framed with a pick he'd thrown into the audience. She was 24. It was creepy and soured me on him for good.

I like him. My wife and sister got tickets to see him (when "Heavier Things" came out) and I figured, "sure, get me a ticket." It was pretty good. We own his three popular CDs. I've been meaning to get Trio just to hear it.

I like him a lot. I listened to Room For Squares consistently for a few months, and still spin it every now and again. I think he writes catchy ass tunes.

That's some crazy stalker crap.

Yeah, I would hate the guy that my girlfriend wants to bang too.

Ex-girlfriend, by 4 years now, mostly due to the creepy infatuation. Well, that and general emotional instability and the fact that she had a pet rabbit that ran wild in her apartment. Ok, so she was a headcase in general, but it definitely pushed my taste for Mayer from indifference to active dislike.

Was she at least hot?

I much prefer him solo than with the band. I am just not a blues person, I prefer him by himself
