    Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell and covered by Counting Crows. I had to look up the actual name of the song because I just know it by the lyric " Paved paradise, put up a parking lot". It’s just repetitive, depressing, and unimaginative.

      By today’s standards it may be unoriginal, but it was a fairly well received message when it came out and also when I was young.

      But of a Tangent, Maynard James Keenan is an absolutely huge Joni Mitchell Fan. He thinks Joni’s Blue album is one of the best albums from an production/engineering perspective
