Discuss, in my opinion I think he's easily the greatest songwriter/artist in the last decade. I think my favorite album is xo or either/or. They are all great though.
I think he's desperately underated, in the UK at least. Sadly he came into my radar far too late and I've only got his posthumous New Moon album. Supposedly a collection of demos and rejects but the quality throughout is extraordinary.
I have to be in the mood to hear his music, I have to be in a down mood. I have either/or. It took a while to grow on me. I think I might pick up New Moon.
funny, i was listening to his b-sides & rarities when i stumbled on this thread.
great, great songwriter, and no slouch on an acoustic.
i think i'm drawn to tormented souls.
I first heard about him on Goodwill Hunting...I loved the song so much I bought a few of his CD's and went from there. Now I own everything by him, and I love almost all of it. Some songs I'm not super-fond of, but that's not to say they aren't listenable. I love his stuff, but prepared to be put in a 'down' mood if you aren't when you start listening :/
He was a pretty unique musician in his field. His tunings were impressively unique, but I never could get into his voice or his "high school drama" lyrics. I sincerely respect him as a musician, but you'll never see me spinning his discs.
