Leonard Cohen for a newbie

[Flashman]

Still the one I play the most.

Avalanche
Famous Blue Raincoat
Joan of Arc ftw

Sing Another Song, Boys always sounds a bit funny on their like Macbeth does on Paris 1919.

And Buckley

Well, I know, I know. But the blesing is you don't hear it very often.

 

[Flashman]

The John Cale version is the best but try saying that to Jeff Buckley fans . . .

Fuck 'em they have cloth ears.

 

[tastebud]

Ten New Songs - start with that one!

 

[El Jefe]

The John Cale version is the best but try saying that to Jeff Buckley fans . . .

Saying ANYTHING to Buckley fans is tricky, what with them being tone fucking deaf.

 

[Laney]

The Letters... ... ... *melts*

Times when I've been alarmingly close to the edge and nobody else will do, Leonard has always brought me back

 

[yardbird]

Don't you think he's very Al Pachino?

I like Sisters of Mercy

 

[El Jefe]

By the way, The Favourite Game is a fantastic (and pretty transparently autobiographical) novel.

But Beautiful Losers is wank
