This was a triumph!
I'm making a note here: Huge success!
He just joined CASH Music, which makes him even more awesome.

I like Skullcrusher. Also that he's nice enough to have a few songs on his site for free. I should buy something from him some time.

I love his songs. They're just good ol' geeky fun.
Attack him. The winner gets to be my pet for all eternity...or until I find something with larger teeth. And a fork.

I didn't care too much for Skullcrusher.
My favorites are Code Monkey, Creepy Doll, Still Alive, Todd the T1000, Betty and Me, Better, and Ikea. No specific order.

Not gonna lie: Re: Your Brains is quickly becoming one of my favourite songs to play in Rock Band.

My listening to Jonathan Coulton is one of the many things I blame this wiki for. I knew of him before this, thanks primarily to Portal, but it was the Wiki that made me listen to the rest of his stuff.
I admit that "Big Dick Farts a Polka" makes laugh more than it should to someone of my age.

Small, vicious
My favorite Coulton tunes are "You Ruined Everything", "First of May" and his cover of "Baby Got Back".

I actually first heard his stuff watching AMV Hell 4. I'm really digging The Future Soon, myself.
Do I look like I know what's going on here?
Been listening to him a fair bit lately. In fact, I'm Your Moon managed to wind up in one of my dreams last night.
Favorites by him are probably the aforementioned I'm Your Moon and I Feel Fantastic.
I read that he's going to be performing with TMBG, who I also adore, but the concerts are all on the East Coast. D:

The thing I love about Coulton is that he's so adept at swinging between "lulzy and wacky" and "heartrending." Sometimes both at once. "I'm Your Moon" is probably one of my favorite Silly Love Songs, and it's about, well, Pluto.

I love Kenesaw Mountain Landis and Furry Old Lobster.
I personally think his most heartrending song is Space Doggity. I sobbed uncontrollably at that one.
Cheeky son of a....
I'm a personal fan of I feel Fantastic and Shop Vac. Such a Tear Jerker...and yes, introduced through portal.
It's a sign of my maturity the W's Duty made me giggle uncontrollably. It's a sign of Jo Co's maturity that he made it. And I thank him for it.
:smug:
Fourth Wall Eliminator
Also introduced through Portal. Listened to Still Alive upon game completion, said "Damn.", listened to Still Alive on YouTube repeatedly, discovered Jonathan Coulton wrote it, and bought his complete works.
Favourites are The Future Soon, Skullcrusher Mountain, Mandelbrot Set, Flickr, Chiron Beta Prime, I'm A Mason Now... basically every song he's ever done. Huh.
And I want "JoCo! The Musical". It would be awesome. I'm envisioning JoCo in school singing The Future Soon as an Imagine Spot. Being isolated through his twenties, and singing Big Bad World One at some party. Turning evil at thirty, and singing Skullcrusher Mountain. And so on. Awesome.

I can't listen to Space Doggity because the first time I heard it was at a concert where Jo Co told the whole story of the space dog, and it was terrible (The story itself, not the telling. I just found it very upsetting for some reason).
Shop Vac, Skullcrusher Mountain, and Blue Sunny Day are probably my favorite songs of his at the moment.
Blue Sunny Day Skull Crusher mountain,I'm Your Moon and I crush everything are my favs. why is there no love for giant squids?. The Line did the stars come out/did the world spin round/does it matter that much when your ten miles down always makes me very sad.

Big fan,and I have TV Tropes to thank - "Still Alive" primed the pump,but this wiki made me seek out the rest. He's the perfect balance of geeky and funny. So many favourites,I'll just list the best fanvids:
Tom Cruise Crazy
I Feel Fantastic
RE: Your Brains
Code Monkey
Creepy Doll
(Great,now I have Earworms. Again. :-P)
Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.
Hexachordal Combinatorial
Devil's Lobbyist
I'm going to bump this because he has a new album, and it's fantastic. Favorites (as of now) are Sticking It to Myself, The World Belongs to You, Dissolve, Down Today, Glasses, and the title track.
It's easy, mmkay?
Bumping this thread to say that I just got into JoCo. I already liked Still Alive and Want You Gone, but I just listened to a bunch of his other songs, and they're really good. My favorite is probably Betty And Me, but re:Your Brains, Skullcrusher Mountain, The Future Soon, and I Feel Fantastic are also favorites. I'm embarassed to admit that I didn't really get the joke of Betty And Me on my first listen.

At first I didn't realize I needed all this stuff...
Anyone listen to JonathanCoulton? My favorites are Creepy Doll, Your Brains and Skullcrusher Mountain.
If I'm asking for advice on a story idea, don't tell me it can't be done.
