    Yeah, same here. His music is usually considered depressing, but it's not that way for me. :)

    Elliott Smith is greatly missed. I have all of his albums, 2 concert videos, and 6 bootlegs. You should check out the Elliott Smith Tribute CD. It is definitely worth buying.

    Music is meant to be emotional, that's what makes E.S. a great musician. In my opinion, he was the best musician of the 90s to present.

    it's just a fond farewell to a friend

    My favorite song by Elliott is "Twilight" from "From a Basement on a Hill."

    Also, "Somebody that I Used to Know" and "Everything Reminds Me of Her" (<--SO sad)

    I like listening to him when I'm in a sappy or sad mood, like those moods when you just feel like crying for catharsis. When I'm happy I listen to something more upbeat. :)

    :( I wish I had seen him before he died.

    I found a CD in a market stall [selling ptomotional cds that are sent to radio stations].. It was only 50p... That is when i first heard his music.. Glad i happened to stumble across him like that.. pretty sad he died...another person i stumbled across was matthew jay.. he is dead also.. Maybe i should avoid buying CDs from market stalls [or just buy a santana CD]

    People who commit suicide are hardly looking for pity.
     


  6. if you managed to get santana killed in that way I think I'd have to send you a fruit basket.....

    Santana's amazing.
    His new CDs not bad at all, either.

    I am just joking.. no i don't like his music.. i don't wish him dead though. I was just adding a 'amusing' element to my otherwise sombre post..

    His strummings all sound alike to me.. :rolleyes:

    he was an amazing guitarest long long ago...but nowadays, he is just making nearly the same song over and over again with different cameos...

    i know santana can be really good if he tried playing music other then pop...

    santana's last three albums are very far from being "good"... :confused:
