Elliott Smith

Anyone a fan?

Like alot of people I was introduced to his music via the Royal Tenenbaums soundtrack. Elliott very much reminds me of a Nick Drake figure, not appreciated until his death, although Nick's popularity was some 25 plus years after his death.

Elliott is also similar to Nick in that he is very influential in the current music scene.

I was listening to twilight tonight. As well as angel in the snow. A fond Farewell.

Sad, tragic figure, but those are some beautiful songs

    Elliott Smith is awesome! Do you know all of his albums? They are all great! I was lucky enough to see him at what turned out to be his 3rd to last show ever.

    Rather new to his stuff, but already a big fan. Great, great work.

    good to see some recent converts

    I was introduced after his death and just was completely immersed in him for about a year

    still listen to him but not as regularly as in 2005

    Probably number 2 behind Nirvana on the list of shows I wished I had seen.
