though if you were to listen to one of his albums, Paris 1919 or Fear is the best starting point.

"Cohen is the better songwriter and lyricist"

Beg to differ, Dylan without a doubt had a greater grasp of overall song craft.

Also Cohen's original of Hallelujah is great, wtf are you on Fripp?

It may not have much in the way of musical/vocal qualities to make it stand out over the hundreds of cover versions but the original still has that magic atmosphere that others have failed to fully replicate.

the original is a godsend in comparison to the various cover versions



then again, I'm the guy who thinks Selling England is better than The Lamb (this is fact, Twort. You know it to be true.)

you gotta admit, the song's been worn out by the amount of sappy covers it's had

I do believe it is a fact that you are the guy who thinks that, you've reiterated with enough sincerity for me to believe that they are your true thoughts.

You got me there, now what again about how The Lamb is infinitely better than any other prog album that isn't Thick as a Brick? I must've forgotten by now...

aka Cale's shitty cover kinda killed the whole thing, yeah I agree. Still doesn't make the original less than one of the best songs ever

eh, that cover isn't all too representative of Cale considering you thought the guy was boring based off of just that



also, killing it? dude, that cover jumpstarted that shit that culminated in it being covered to death by the millennium.

I don't see how that disproves my point... the only good thing Cale's cover did was inspiring Buckley's
