Elliott Smith is fantastic, but I haven’t been able to get into XO as much as any of the others (esp. From a Basement on a Hill and Figure 8). Would love a copy

thanks

Yeah, Geof, I’ve never actually owned any of Elliott Smith’s albums. Which one should I try first? XO?

P.S. – give me a cd.

Wonderful concept.

I’m with Aireanne — I keep forgetting. I’ve heard a track or two here and there, but never really listened deeply. Certainly never owned an ES album, either — so I guess I qualify.

I’d promise to attend with all my ears, if I win the luck of the draw.

Came here through Everybody Cares as well, I don’t need an album (got pretty much his discography) just wanted to say kudos on the generosity, and that exposing Elliott to more people is always good.

I have never heard of him, I would love to give his stuff a listen.

I’ve never really listened to him, but I would love to be able to. I’ve heard many amazing things about him and I would love to hear his album XO!

Hey, found you through Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands. Elliott is one of those artists whose music I’ve liked and respected, but I’ve never heard let alone owned any of his albums.

I have heard that XO is one of his best records and I would love to hear it for myself!!

I’ve heard a couple of his songs (“Trouble” is the one I can think of) on pandora, and was hoping to eventually pick something up. I’ll take one.

I have only heard a bit of Smith’s music and always wanted to try an album but didn’t know where to begin. That’s really nice of you to offer this.

By: Jason

Jason — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 11:34:03 +0000

I can’t think of one song of his that I’ve heard.

Believe it or not, I’ve never owned an album. If you get more than ten, just loan me yours for a while.

You are a generous man. Again, I’ve loved the few songs I have and would jump at the chance for a whole album.

I can’t believe more people haven’t posted.
I have heard some of his songs and they’re really something.
If it would be possible I would also like to own an album. Thank you =)

I’ve heard a couple of Elliott Smith songs thanks to some bloggers (like Chad at http://everybodycares.blogspot.com/) and I like what I’ve heard. I’d love to hear (and own) a whole album!
