jimi hendrix. he did not have nearly enough time to get into the other musical scenes that he would've been incredible in.

Elliott Smith 1969-2003, who i will hate forever for killing himself.

I agree w/ every word you said. Jimi died way before he could explore the whole music genre. I was watching the documentary, "Hendrix & The Band Of Gypsy's", & it was saying how before he passed a bunch of Jazz artists were wanting to book sessions w/ Jimi. One of those artists, Miles Davis.
Could you imagine what "Machine Gun" would have sounded like if those two played on one track. Damn! It would have been amazing,

dietzer123 · 04.01.2006, 05:35 PM

hahaha, funny you say that. i made this post based on being currently watching that documentary. elliot smith's best stuff was his early stuff in my opinion so despite it being a terrible loss to have him die so young i would say his best musical accomplishments were already behind him

yeah, my favourite Elliott Smith album is Roman Candle (his first one) but From a Basement on the hill is just Glorious. you really must get it if you havent already. its so fucking beautiful. i love everything he has ever written. he was too good for this world.

RIP

really???, gosh i find this so hard to believe, 'kings crossing' and 'twilight' and 'a distorted reality is now a necessity to be free' and 'pretty (ugly before)' are such amazing songs.
but yes Roman Candle is a beautiful album, 'no name 3' is my favourite Elliott Smith song ever.

dietzer123 · 04.01.2006, 05:53 PM

i haven't listened to it in a long time actually. a distorted reality etc. etc. is up there as well. i'd say that that album kicks out single songs that are incredible but roman candle is the most consistently great.

yeah, roman candle flows really really nicely from song to song,

you can tell by listening to it that Elliott Has not not done the final production of 'from a baesment on the hill', the songs dont flow well like they do on everysingle other Elliott Smith album.

Not musical, but Bill Hicks. What I would give for another 12 years of his routine.
