Jack Johnson on all counts.
By the way, the thing that annoys me about both these artists is that throughout most of the year in my photography class these two artists' CDs are going to be played practically non-stop. Not that their music sucks, but I'm thinking by March I would have had enough. Not that it matters, though, since I can listen to my CDs during class as well.

I'd give JJ the edge on all of these as well. I like Ben Harper, too, though. WMOTH is a great tune but not quite as good as THHBD.

I'll give the edge to "Diamonds on the Inside" but for the other two, Jack Johnson wins hands down because I find those two Ben Harper songs extremely annoying.
Wasting Time 3-2
The Horizon Has Been Defeated 4-1
Flake 5-0

I give 2 out of 3 to Jack Johnson hands-down.
Ben Harper, however, does win with "Diamonds On The Inside" versus "Wasting Time". "Wasting Time", in my opinion, is a more mediocre song from Jack Johnson lyrically, though musically it is great. But Ben Harper writes his best yet off that single.
But other than "Diamonds On The Inside", the other two singles of his I've heard are absolutey awful. Particularly "With My Own Two Hands", what the heck was he thinking with that artificial reggae?
Sincerely,
Noah Eaton

Interesting how opinions differ. Jack Johnson annoys me, and I like Ben Harper. So for me, Ben Harper on all accounts, even though I do like Flake pretty well, Steal My Kisses is what clued me into Ben Harper to begin with. I love that song.

I wish there was a way "Mud Football" could've been included.

"Wasting Time" "The Horizon Has Been Defeated" "Steal My Kisses"I wish there was a way "Mud Football" could've been included. I love that song too, though it also wasn't a hit at all because it would have interferred with the promotion of "On and On" Although it would have been nice to compare "Mudfootball" with one of Ben Harper's lesser performing singles.

Ben Harper is the better overall artist. I'm not interested in comparing their individual songs.
