    Elliott Smith

    Anyone here a fan of Elliott Smith's music? If so, what albums would you suggest purchasing first?

    Not a big fan, but the two I hear are "musts" are Either/Or and XO.

    I love the song "Needle In The Hay." The album they put out after he died, called "From A Basement on a Hill" is the only one I've heard all the way through and it is pretty good.

      I don't have any solo work by Elliott Smith, but I have the CD Mic City Sons by Heatmiser (a band that Smith was the frontman of)... pretty good stuff. I recommend it.

        Not an Elliott Smith fan, but Glen Phillips does a phenomenal cover of "Between The Bars."

          If you are looking at Elliott Smith, you might also take a look at Badly Drawn Boy, as you might like his work as well.

              Depends on what you like.....

              From a basement on the hill, figure 8, and XO are louder. Either Or is basically in the middle. S/T and Roman Candle mostly are just guitar.

              Can't really lose with any of the albums, all of them are some of the best records ever put out.

                If you want to a quick download of some of his stuff, you can go to: http://www.elliottsmithbsides.com/index2.html

                He's basically my favorite musician.
