he is ALRIGHT but nothing special. i can appreciate a handful of songs by him but he is just plain boring. that is the only word i can use to describe him- boring. last time i got into a discussion with a fan of his they flipped out on me for spelling it Elliot.

i proceeded to tell him to take a page from Elliott's book and go fucking kill himself.

your 2 cents?

Elliot Smith was an extremely talented musician, very dedicated, and he probably just isn't your thing. Seriously though he has more talent in a drop of sperm than you have in your whole entire family.

I agree with OP, I have three of his CDs--From a basement on the hill, xo, and figure 8, and I only actually enjoy the first one. He's pretty overrated by loads of people. Most of his songs are just too moody after a while, plus, you really can't understand a fucking thing he says cuz of the way he records his voice and he mumbles. 'Tis a shame he offed himself, though.

He kicks fucking sweet ass. Scene kids are a fags. But, I don't see what's so hard to figure out about sad, sad people liking suicidally sad music.

i'm guessing it is because he stabbed himself in the heart.

Elliott Smith is pretty much the only "OMG he killed himself worship him lawlllz" who is actually really, really good.

Never could get into his music, but for some reason scene kids worship the ground he walked on.

I listened to a bunch of stuff of his on Youtube, but only the stuff from Lucky 3 or whatever was any good. The rest was vague, melodramatic acoustic pussy shit. I don't get the appeal.

no, im pretty sure im more talented than him. I can improvise over chord changes, all he could do was kill himself.

Mty theory is shallow people try to be deep by listening to moody stuff.

He knew how to make a good melody, his music was pretty melancholy though it got happy at times.

I like him.

Stabbing yourself in the heart is actually pretty metal, quiet contradictory to his music.

What the fuck are you talking about? That makes no sense, and is irrelevant.

Blowing your brains in as a USSBM band vocalist may be more correct though.

It's nothing new, groundbreaking or even technically superb.
And thats why those faggots love it, it's one of those safe artists that they know is easy to slip into conversation with some other scene queer then all of a sudden they've got a new BFFL because they "so totally get the lyrics"

Elliot Smith said something about White Vans following him around.

He must have been preaching a message the reptilians didn't want him to convey to the young people.


I love that song about a street in Portland (Seattle?)
