AJW Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 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 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1YsFgDaEeo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiZlAmHa7QI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Scrambled Ears Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capsaicin Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 I don't know about upsetting, but I felt pretty weird when Lil B was mentioned in an Elliott Smith thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr_Nova Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 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: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezerLW5jPwI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJW Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 How can you not mention Pink Moon when recommending Nick Drake?? 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J3FF3R00 Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest carthief Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 For anyone who's interested, the magazine "Under the Radar" this month has a piece on Elliott Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
