10.21.09 | :(
I still need to get Figure 8 |
klap
10.21.09 | my fave because it was the first i ever listened to, it's like irrevocably bound to everything that came after |
EasternLight
10.21.09 | spectacular artist. still need some of his stuff, and have yet to be able to appreciate him fully. rip. |
NebSnurb
10.21.09 | Smith is awesome, I need XO and New Moon.
"Needle In The Hay" is one my favorites |
klap
10.22.09 | lists disappear way too fast :( |
CompanionCube
10.22.09 | no name no. 5 is prolly my fav but ugh theyre all so close |
kitsch
10.22.09 | elliott smith is the best singer/songwriter ever and my personal favorite artist as well.
p much all of his albums have taken turns as their fav for me, good to see some love for fig 8, i love that record and its vastly underappreesh. although the best song on that is "i better be quiet now" imo
the ranking for me is prob
s/t
either/or
fig 8
basement
roman candle
xo
i dunno where new moon would fit into that, its not an album, so i dont include it, but i love it anyway.
stickman is a great song |
joshuatree
10.22.09 | dude xo's way too low on that list
mine: s/t, xo, roman candle, new moon, basement/either/or (tie), fig 8
dude rules, why he suicided idk |
RobertDennis2
10.22.09 | I just started listening to him last week, his self titled is brilliant, I really love "Single File" |
kitsch
10.22.09 | my fav from that album^^
cam, all smith releases are at least a 4.5 for me. |
Satellite
10.22.09 | King's Crossing is his magnum opus.
R.I.P. Elliot. |
Satellite
10.22.09 | *Elliott. Duh. |
brainsheldis
10.22.09 | I concur the best and most consistant artist ever. |
joshuatree
10.22.09 | yeah same here @ kitsch. xo just has three of my favorite songs ever |
kitsch
10.22.09 | xo has some of my fav smith tunes, pitseleh, i didnt understand, independence day etc
but it also lags imo with amity, oh well, okay, and a question mark. those tracks are pretty good, but just don't really do much for me. |
klap
10.22.09 | oh well, okay is heartbreakingly good. and yeah king's crossing was easily his best song of the 2000s imo |
cirq
10.22.09 | waltz #2 might be my favorite song by him.. |
Satellite
10.22.09 | The first 4 songs on XO are absolutely perfect. |
klap
10.22.09 | yeah its such a great sequence |
SlightlyEpic
10.22.09 | He's my personal favourite artist too. I love him. |
klap
10.23.09 | also, i should have put this in unreleased/live tracks, but his live version of "independence day" (with drums electric guitar etc) absolutely rules. check it out on youtube (the fuji rock one)

10.23.09 | bought figure 8 on my way home from a lecture today. :) |
klap
10.23.09 | awesome! let me know what you think |
kitsch
10.23.09 | kings crossing gives me chills |
klap
10.23.09 | probably one of his most depressing songs in hindsight :/ |
Electric City
10.23.09 | Watched Royal Tenenbaums for the first time since I started listening to Elliott Smith, and was surprised/disturbed by the use of Needle in the Hay in the attempted suicide scene, moreso when I realized the film came two years before his suicide |
kitsch
10.23.09 | seeing that film was my first exposure to elliott smith |
klap
10.24.09 | great film
but yeah, reading smith's lyrics is like looking into the future for him - tragic |
