i hate him because he is a bad artist but his music is cool. he does not sing at all and is boring. island music is nice and relaxing no need for a bad singer to put their 2 cents in to some music
end rant

are you joking?
I've been listening to jimmy buffet on the way to the mountain on a friday night since I was 7. Been listening to him since even before that. He sings. He's not a great singer...but look at bob dylan, he sucked at singing and his music is amazing.

Jimmy's a great entertainer. Comedian, guitar player, and a huge party man all at the same time. I've heard every single one of his songs, and I can tell you for sure that he DOES sing.

He makes happy, catchy music for middle-aged people to get stoked about, but I still think he's a sub-par musician.  The lyrics are uninspired--even for singing about cheeseburgers and making several songs about the exact same thing.  Then there's the music;  again, weak and mundane.  I really don't expect someone like him to be really great, but when people call him a good musician it gets to me.  And it's not that I'm not into this type of music, it's just that I think he's waaaay overrated.

most popular musicians aren't that "good" its the fact that he can write music that is catchy and entertaining. look at bob dyllan or the ramones,

I just listened to Fruit Cakes while I was in the shower, it was pretty much the raddest thing ever.
