With the release of the final proper* Elliott Smith album a couple months behind us, what would you consider to be his best album?

(*Yes, I am including from a basement on the hill even though it was completed after his death.)

Tough call. X/O, Figure 8, & Either/Or are all excellent albums IMO.

On a side note, his last concert (Brooklyn) is up at skoften in this weeks cd-onderdag

If you like that album, you're gonna love the rest.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I really like Figure 8.

Hey,
I like the self-titled album the best out of all of them. Then Roman Candle, Either/Or and finally the final release. I never really listen to X/O or Figure 8 for some reason. I have the albums. Guess i'll have to give them a listen over. Matt
