Elliott Smith

His music makes me sad.

always loved Rose Parade

If you like Elliot Smith you might enjoy Nick Drake. some of the finest guitar play ever...and that voice...

album wise I can recommend Bryter Layter and Five Leaves Left

enjoy mate

nick drake is definitely classic material

How can you not mention Pink Moon when recommending Nick Drake??

Is it wrong to be upset when Nick Drake is brought up in an Elliot Smith thread? Seriously, as someone put it earlier there's a difference between wayworn melancholy/reflection and complete revelry in a morose/hopeless way of life

there are both excellent musicians and songwriters though

I don't know about upsetting, but I felt pretty weird when Lil B was mentioned in an Elliott Smith thread.

Well, I dunno, Elliott Smith serves as a great gateway drug to Nick Drake... not that it's a necessary one as both artists are excellent for obvious reasons. I think I got into Nick Drake soon after I started listening to Elliott Smith. Both great artists.

This song's intense, gives me chills every time i hear it:

Five Leaves Left just happens to be my personal favourite. So that'd be the one I recommend to folk. Literally the only record that can calm me in any given situation.

But it's all good innit brah

I've been listening to nothing but Elliott Smith for the past 3 weeks. Its kinda bad. I gotta switch it up at some point.

His music takes on a whole mother meaning when you've lived in LA for a little while.

For anyone who's interested, the magazine "Under the Radar" this month has a piece on Elliott Smith.

All time favourite but can't listen to him too much, doesn't put me in a good frame of mind

wow, i'm sorry about that. for some reason i can't edit it out.
