Any Ben Harper fans out there?

I didn't really know dude existed until I heard him on Blackalicious "Blazing Arrow" joint in '02... I dug his voice and wanted to explore more so I picked up his following album "Diamonds on the Inside" in '03. I liked it, although it was sprawling. Then I got his earlier 1995 opus "Fight for You Mind," which is considered to be his best by many of his longtime fans, but I didn't like it as much. I just ordered his latest "Both Sides of the Gun" after listening to a few samples. I think he might be one of those artists to really watch for.

For those who are into him, what is your favorite album? Favorite songs? How does he rank with today's singer/songwriters in the alternative rock genre?

My favorite album is "Burn to Shine".... I've also got "Diamonds on the Inside" and "Both Sides of the Gun".... favorite songs - so many, but the one I know all the words to is "Steal My Kisses" (yeah, I know it's a cover, but still). He does a great cover of "Can't Always Get What You Want" (Rolling Stones), too. Definitely one of my favorite artists, saw him live here in Hawaii this past April.

He performs a lot with Jack Johnson and what not - who I also happen to enjoy, it's great beach music.

Ben Harper's got one of the best voices out there. Ever. Absolutely amazing.

Yeah, I love his voice... he's got the best vocal crooning on "When She Believes."
