John Popper is a man, despite his girth. Band was just legit... and still together.

Blues Traveler is good. Saw them live at OM.

John Popper is a fricking tool though. His twitter is absurd.

Went downhill after Bobby Sheehan's death. Love all of their stuff up through Four. Travelers and Thieves is one of my favorite albums of all time.

I saw them in October with Blind Melon. They were both really good.

To this day I can probably still sing word for word on that song and I was 3 when that song came out.

Trina Magna is one of my favorites. Saw them my freshman year at USC. They were amazing.

I saw them this summer at a festival in Denver. It wasn't terrible, just not my cup of tea. I think Popper's harmonica skills have been wasted. Short of Howard Levy, he's the most talented I've ever heard.


Eta: and I'm not sure about his girth. He's looked pretty skinny ever since he had his stomach stapled.

1994-1996 was a great era for music.

Read about the meaning behind the song "Hook" Thought it was pretty funny


Band isn't my jam but I like that they had a satire song that was actually solid

Love them. Seen them twice. John got skinny after the surgery, but he's started putting on weight again.

i liked blues traveler a lot in college but John Popper's voice started to grate on me over time, and they overdo the harmonica. there were some guitar solos on the album that came right affter Four.

Caught one of his harmonica's at a show a few years ago. Love those guys. Fantastic performers and +1 to Mountains Win Again... so damn good.

I thought he only played a chromatic harmonica. But I guess it's not a surprise that he busts out a diatonic occasionally.

I may have had too much bourbon last night when I posted this. Snow days do me in.

Saw them at Soul Kitchen. That was years ago. Are they playing at county fairs yet?
