He is my artist of the month, I am quite the fan of Miss Misery and Baby Britain.

I like him, especially for the songs Son of Sam, and Say Yes
They are just pure excellence

I really dig XO and Figure 8.  Either/Or or his self-titled I have to be in a certain mood to enjoy.  It's definitely some great stuff.

No way, who likes Elliott Smith? Are you KIDDING me? I mean, jeez.

I think a better question might be: Does anyone not like Elliott Smith's music?

[Praeserpium Machinarum]

I have only heard In a Basement on a Hill and it was very good. Though it was a bit odd listening to it knowing that he (presumably) killed himself not long before. By the way did he like Beatles? Because I thought I heard a bit inspiration from them on Basement.

Well the thing of it is, I live in a completely brainwashed town.  The media controls almost everyone's thoughts.  So its incredibly rare to like good music.

That is actually a very common observation when it comes to Elliott Smith (the Beatles thing). I can definitely hear it, too. If you liked Basement, you should try to get your hands on a copy of some of his earlier stuff like XO or Either/Or.

His s/t debut on Kill Rock Stars is his best, in my opinion.

[sjbrot]

When he was recording In a Basement Under a Hill, he was actually trying to emulate the Beatles' White Album. He wanted it to be a two-disc affair with a natural progression through out. That's what I understood from alot of the articles around the release, at least.

Oh, is that why everyone's so excited about the "Basement 2" mp3s that leaked? I mean, besides that it's a huge chunk of new-to-us Elliott Smith material?
