any one a fan?

Nice thread title.

Yea he's good.

His older, more raw stuff is the best. The FABOTH b-sides were also better than expected.

Elliott Smith.

Amazing artist. My favourite of the anti-folk genre, for sure.

andy is dead · 11-01-2005, 03:39 PM

He's amazing.

ChrisWray · 11-01-2005, 05:24 PM

and dead

a crazy death too, i still wonder if he was murdered.

I think he's fantastic, his music sends chills up my spine. I'm slowly getting into the Roman Candle album.

I still need to acquire Either/Or and the self-titled album.

The Great Decay · 11-01-2005, 05:59 PM

I think I prefer Either/Or to the S/T, but both are amazing albums.

It is my firm belief that anyone who anyone and everyone who is no-one should own at least all of elliott smith's records. He is the most sincere song writer in all the land.

R.I.P elliott...

I'm really loving those B-Sides from "From A Basement...". Got some really get songs on there.

I forget what that website was called though, could someone refresh my memory? Because there's more B-Sides on there as well isn't there? I want to download them too.

Awesome stuff man. Thanks alot.

Elliott Smith is awesome. hes one of my favorite song writers. Yeah, his death is pretty shady. I once heard the National Public Radio obituary when he died, it had a quote by Elliott saying that he didnt really know what his songs meant, that he just liked to play with melody and if the lyrics helped someone outhere he'd be happy. It also has Conor Oberst saying that Elliott was one of his main influences.

if this is true then i dont think he was influenced enough. Conor Oberst = poo

RollerQueen · 11-01-2005, 10:22 PM

Conor's not that bad. Jesus, kids, there are far worse writers than Conor Oberst that have much more acclaim. U2, The Doors, Led Zepplin, and even Nickelback have had their limelight without even so much resembling good writers.

In any case, thanks for the link to the b-sides, and X/O is my favourite, but he has some great lyrics all over the place. I've been quoting "No Name No.5" a lot lately.

He was one ugly man, but I love his music very much. Either/Or is my favorite record from him.
