Of course I've listened to Sun Kil Moon an Elliot Smith, there's some alright material but they're both incredibly overrated. The way music fans name drop them nowadays is comical to me. Every hipster music fan needs that list that they name-check. |

I love this song, and I play it often for fun, but I think this song does have him hitting the strings kinda hard. I think it sounds OK in the particular instance, but if 1994 Billy was performing this song it would have come out even better.

I've always kinda liked the grunge/punk elements from the pumpkins so I definitely don't look for perfection from him. |

I've been playing for over 20 years. Certainly there's a level of technical proficiency from both artists, but nothing that really moves the needle as far as I'm concerned.
I've tried to get into both artists at different times in my life and gave them both a fair shake and they both get a big fat "meh" from me... Nothing bad about them. They just don't warrant the hype. I think Smiths death elevated him to a status that he wouldn't have otherwise garnered... The ole Heavy Metal Machine trope I suppose. |

ITT we hear about how listening to globally popular, culturally beloved, and critically acclaimed musician Elliott Smith is for "hipsters" and anyone who mentions him in a list of notable acoustic guitarists is just "name dropping"

Brilliant song Job of my dreams Things are as bad as they seem Working where I did at 14 Making less pay it seems What do I do this for Got to get out some more Go down to the grocery store Meet someone I'll adore Someone who'll make me laugh Someone to be my better half Keep me warm under the sack Share with me my midnight snack House of my dreams Things are as bad as they seem My parents' house I'll stay for free Till I'm at least 43 Last edited by fuzzyroes : 11-03-2018 at 08:41 PM. |

I'd more agree with you as far as Mark Kozelek goes, but I just hear about Elliot Smith ALL THE TIME inside of my music circles and from kids I talk with... It's almost like how everyone named dropped The Smiths 10-15 years ago. |

Billy's Landslide solo was really tasteful, and he changed up the picking pattern in a really nice way. He brought something new to that song. TBH I think that song was one of the finest moment for acoustic guitar in the 90's, and the fact that it charted, despite being a Pisces Iscariot throwaway speaks to that. Making something people connect with is what matters at the end of the day, not technical proficiency. Wonderwall probably sold a lot of acoustic guitars.

RBG, if you love Elliot Smith, you should check out Vince Vaccaro.
This song features some brilliant and lush acoustic guitar Met him at a show once. Super cool guy, loves to have a good time. Love how he manages to get some beer shot-gunning action in the video. Definitely a Canadian boy Last edited by fuzzyroes : 11-03-2018 at 09:04 PM. |

Ehhh, he's alright I guess... More of a poet than a good musician, I'd say. I've always found Elliot Smith to be a bit toothless.

I'm not into that shit, don't i nclude me in with that. The point was about the hipster identity. A lot of people name drop a list of artists so they can be in that inclusive club. Don't you get it? If I go into a party full of hipsters and I'm trying to get in with them and they ask what artists I'm into all I have to say is Elliot Smith and I gain entry. It's the hipster uniform... Don't you get it? |

Jordan Peterson was talking about this in a recent interview about how there's these types of people that you know everything they're gonna say or like once you get to know a tiny bit about them...
There's so little individuality with this clique culture nowadays... Opinions don't differ, tastes are the same... It's a real problem...RBG is one of the worst offenders of this that I've ever come across online. Peterson articulates it perfectly. Watch the following 3 minutes that play of this clip. He destroys this reporter in the most articulate fashion. Last edited by fuzzyroes : 11-03-2018 at 10:03 PM. |
