History YMMV / DanielJohnston

* CrazyAwesome: He may have been mad, but he was a wonderful creative individual.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: Some tracks off his older albums are pretty out there, IE, ''Something More'', from ''Don't Be Scared'' which is a 3 minute long audio collage of various noises, background chatting, etc. Also, the random keyboard fills from the ''Fun'' album.On the song "Catie", also from ''Fun'', Dan casually burps into the microphone.

* CrazyAwesome: He may have mad, but he was a wonderful creative individual.

* TearJerker: Hoo, boy..."Poor You", the opener for Music/HiHowAreYou, is just one example.

* {{Adorkable}}: He was a charming person when he was alive.

** Someone interviewed in the documentary ''The Devil And Daniel Johnston'' asserts that early in his recording career he didn't know tapes could be copied and would re-record an entire album in order every time he made a copy, thinking it was how everyone did it. If this is true, ''every'' copy of his early hand made tapes was a unique performance.

* FriendlyFandoms: He shares one with Music/TheBeatles and Music/BrianWilson, both of whom he's often compared to by music publications and his fanbase.

* {{Adorkable}}: Music/DanielJohnston is a charming person.

* CrazyAwesome: He may be mad, but he is a wonderful creative individual.

** "Some Things Last a Long Time" from ''1990'' is almost ethereal in its sadness, with Johnston singing about a portrait of a (presumably deceased) individual, musing on how even when we die we leave reminders for those who care.
