My dad always listened to Jim Croce when I was younger, so naturally I hated him. Of course, I never hated him as much as John Denver, because my dad couldn't play ol' Jim as well on the guitar. Recently though I've been giving him another listen, and I've got to admit some of his stuff is pretty good. He has a backup guitar player named Maury Muehleisen that really adds a lot to the simple chords Jim plays.
Some of Croce's lyrics are very affecting. Here's my favorite song by him.

I dig Jim Croce. Of course, my father doesn't know how to play the guitar, so that may factor into it. :P
I believe I have an LP of his kicking around here. My favorite would probably have to be "I'll Have To Say I Love You In A Song", although he has a lot of songs that I like.
