The OP made a factually inaccurate statement that Joni was a “one hit wonder”.

That is not a “taste” matter.

That is utter insane stupidity and an inability to grasp basic historic reality of the highest level.

This.

Exhibit A:

Hits is a 1996 greatest hits compilation by Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell. As of December 2007, it has sold 488,000 copies in the United States,[4] and was certified Gold in the United Kingdom in 2013 for 100,000 copies sold.[5] A counterpart album, Misses, was released on the same day as Hits. It consists of Mitchell’s lesser known songs that she considers personal favorites.

Reading the posts, I may have hit a nerve.

Joni, IMO, was a groupie who infatuated Graham Nash(Our House).

I know, stone me to death for being a heretic to late 60's early 70's orthodoxy.
