You MUST add Guster to this list. Please investigate all they do to have "green" tours. They are amazing!

David E. Corbin

Thanks for the list, but don't forget us unknowns who are also contributing to ecomusic.

Playing acoustic instruments is a very eco-friendly activity. You can be creative without all sorts of materials, by-products, and manufactured goods. My piano is almost 100 years old now. I almost never buy anything new to support my playing.

Maureen Murphy

I agree with all that is stated above, but I cannot help but prefer Joni Mitchell's song from the early 1970's, "Big Yellow Taxi", where she says, "Give me spots on the apples, but leave me the birds and the bees. Ya pave paradise and put up a parking lot". Pretty prophetic for the 1970s, and even more true today...

I am a serious eco friendly musician I have never had a drivers license or car. I only take mass transit or bike to play. This reminds me of earthday concerts drawing thousands in private cars, ironic to say the least. Hypocrites giving lip service yay!

Organ Grinder Lola!

I'm playing my mother's crank organ, "Scharmanka", which was built in my hometown, based on 250 year-old technology. So, if you see your friendly organ grinder on the street, support our low-tech art. Feed the (stuffed) monkey, give us a dollar, and maybe ask if we're thirsty and bring us a glass of water, if we ran out. We play and sing without a microphone or amp, no electricity. All wind power, when we pump the bellows and make the music come to life.

Organ Grinder Lola & Master Bob!

I love Jack Johnson. It's great to find out he lives green.

George

Widespread Panic's bus operates on bio-fuel.

Paul Rosner

Musicians have always spoken for/with a progressive segment of society and will continue to do so.

Midnight Oil.

Ted Nugent? The guy who likes to unwind by running around the woods slaying anything that moves with a bow and arrow - cause it helps him "unwind?"

No thank you.

HApplin

The Bill Martin Tune recorded by the Turtles and on Dan Fogelberg's last album called "Earth Anthem". It is a tune that definitely stands the test of time.

Jann

If Ted Nugent is on the list its a joke, that guy is the exact opposite of John Muir.

CyberCelt

John Prine for Paradise.

The Byrds for Hungry Earth.

U2 for several songs.

Bill Lewis, you're fortunate that you have the option of taking mass transit or biking to wherever you need to be. You must live in a major metropolitan area. Unfortunately, those of us who live in the "boonies" don't have such options. To us, "mass transit" means carpooling, not taking a bus or a subway, and not even carpooling is always available, and places are so far apart that biking or walking isn't always the practical option.

I wholeheartedly agree that Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi" belongs in an eco-music "Hall of Fame." That was, perhaps, the first eco-song ever recorded, at least the first one I can recall making the "Top 40." I also agree that including Ted ("Kill! Kill! Kill!") Nugent on ANY eco-conscious song list is an absolute JOKE! Many of the songs John Denver recorded also belong on any list of eco-conscious tunes. I must admit, though, that I'm not all that familiar with today's music artists.

You're right, Paul Rosner, when you say that, "Musicians have always spoken for/with a progressive segment of society and will continue to do so." Amen to that!

Kara Dokupil

Sting!

Got to admire the man and all his love& effort to save the rainforest.

Sue Jonez

For the ultimate tale of Man vs Cactus, the ballad "Sagauro" by the Austin Lounge Lizards (on their Creature from the Black Saloon) is un paralleled. True story. Sometimes nature wins against Man's stupidity.

I have to agree with others who have objected to the presence of Ted Nugent. Very disappointing to see this hateful man on anyone's playlist, let alone one posted by the Sierra Club.
