    Elliott Smith? I discovered him a few months ago and I love his music. But nobody I know has ever heard of him =[

    Anyone here an Elliott fan?

    I've never heard of him until now, his death sounds like a sad story, surprised he's not more famous.

    Just bumping the thread for you. :)

    Yeah i was a fan like 7-8 years ago when i was first introduced to him.

    havent heard his shit in a long time tho
    but i saw a rapper use a sample from one of his songs recently.

    he died before he reached his peak

    yeah, i love elliott's music. such a gentle soul, really a shame the world lost him so young.

    i first heard his music about 3 years ago in the soundtrack for this Gus van Sant movie 'Paranoid Park.'

    He's talented.

    Definitely not my style though.

    I feel the same way. I'm just not anywhere near depressed enough to relate with him. It's very obvious that he was an immensely talented and passionate songwriter though.

    he was very good but slightly unpopular for the reason you just mentioned =\
