Your favorite Elliott Smith songs

HaydenAsche · 11.07.2007, 08:53 PM

Elliott Smith is fucking great.

Mine are:
Happiness
Needle in the Hay
Speed Trials

Everyneurotic · 11.07.2007, 09:19 PM

i need to listen to the either/or demos tonight.

k-krack · 11.07.2007, 09:55 PM

Needle in the Hay
Everything Reminds Me Of Her
The Biggest Lie
Pitseleh
A Fond Farewell
Alphabet Town
Coming Up Roses
Bottle Up and Explode!

I need to pick up his other albums and New Moon... but they're all so 'spensive here... The songs I've heard from New Moon are fucking heartbreaking.

Needle in the Hay

shit, i got drunk and posted a topic saying that Elliott Smith was great a few months ago when i was on the edge beyond the ledge, and i got shite thrown at me by many characters on this here board.
Well, being one big objective clinical bastard:

Speed Trials
Between The Bars
Christian Brothers
Say Yes
Baby Britain
Biggest Lie
Junk Bond Trader
Lost and Found (whichever it is)
Miss Misery
Happiness

The old suicidal chap had alot of very good songs.

Bollocks_to_Pop · 11.07.2007, 10:42 PM

I've just recently started listening to him. I love his music. My favorite songs are:

Say Yes
Happiness
Coast to Coast
Let's Get Lost
Speed Trials
Alameda
Son of Sam (the first song I heard of his which made me listen to more.)

Silent Dan Speaks · 11.08.2007, 12:07 AM

Coast to Coast may be my favorite song of his, it needs more love.

Memory Lane hasn't been mentioned yet, what's up with that? I love that song.

Pax Americana · 11.08.2007, 12:18 AM

St. Ides Heaven
Coast To Coast
Rose Parade
Angeles
2:45 AM
Somebody That I Used To Know
Fond Farewell
Roman Candle
No Name #1

Inhuman · 11.08.2007, 02:40 AM

My current fav's in order of preference (it changes every few weeks):
Waltz #2
Angel in the Snow
New Monkey
Looking Over my Shoulder
Baby Britain
Christian Brothers
Coming up Roses

StevOK · 11.08.2007, 03:07 PM

"Everything Means Nothing To Me" has got to be my favorite.

Torn Curtain · 11.08.2007, 04:43 PM

I don't know his music well, but at least:

Ballad of big nothing
Between the bars
Waltz #2 (XO)
Independence day
Bled white
Waltz #1
Oh well, Okay
Bottle up and explode!
I didn't understand
Son of Sam

Dead-Air · 11.08.2007, 10:54 PM

Say Yes
St. Ide's Heaven
Rose Parade
The Biggest Lie
Clementine
Roman Candle

After that the rest of the pre major label records. I know I'm setting myself up for being called an indie snob all over again (and I'm not, I really don't care if people are big or small), but I just thought his stuff after Either/Or was boring comparatively. It wasn't awful, but after Either/Or it just seemed like he'd peaked to me.
