An incredible album. Not all that similar to ES in style but absolutely on par in terms of lyricism and depth. Love this album.
If I could add to the list, I’d add this album along with these 5:
- Andy Shauf - The Party
- Iron and Wine - Beast Epic
- Big Thief - Masterpiece
- Pedro the Lion - Control
- Chris Cohen - Overgrown Path
lil ugly mane - volcanic bird enemy and the voiced concern
do not write this album off because of the name. this is going to be an indie classic in like 10 years just wait. its a really honest depiction of depression and might be the most creative album i think i've ever heard.
This would be a useless poll if we were trying to find records that are comparable to Elliott’s sonically. Way more interesting/feasible to see what we all listen to other than Elliott.
Sonically or lyrically? Then I don’t get it. Then call it what are we listening to? Not try to put bands in the same category. Or act like they are comparable.
I mean, I guess I see why you’re confused; the title is worded as Elliott albums that aren’t by Elliott. I was under the impression that it was just everyone commenting their favorite records and we all voted on which one we all liked the most; not as voting for similar records to Elliott’s music.
I guess that’s why I don’t know any other Elliott Smith fans, bc they listen to junk. I mean Radiohead and pavement, jeff buckley hahaha not even close to the same kind of Elliott Smith
Yeah because your taste in music is superior to literally everyone on mother earth and everyone who disagrees with you is dumb as fuck, please keep educating me! /s
On an honest note, Grow the fuck up, leave your mothers basement and look for a therapist while you're at it. People who get offended by one's music taste definitely have some deep problems..
No, but you keep disparaging the artists you don't like because they sounds nothing when Elliott, when sounding like Elliott is irrelevant to the poll.
He sings in a falsetto pretty much the whole time, the music never really changes. Sounds like a big name record producer glossed over him to make it palatable. Another posthumously revived artist
Blue - Joni Mitchell
Harvest - Neil Young
Bookends - Simon & Garfunkel
I upvoted Blue, but this is a great, less- expected pick.
I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning by Bright Eyes
Maybe this will be Conor’s round!

Stratosphere by Duster
Townes Van Zandt — Townes Van Zandt. (If you are seeing this and haven’t heard it… listen! You won’t regret it!)
Fffffffffff this is a good one. What a gut wrenching album.
It’s a masterpiece — my favorite country and my favorite folk album.
I know it’s not as definitive as Either/Or or TVZ, but that’s how I feel about Upside Down Mountain
Loveless - My Bloody Valentine
W
Fiona Apple - When the Pawn
have been upvoting this for three posts in a row it has to be up there eventually lol
The fact that there's no Quasi here is insane
fr they were one of his favorite bands
to be fair this post is about the subreddit’s favorite albums that aren’t by Elliott, rather than a list of Elliott’s favorite albums.
it should be one of this subreddits favorite albums
agreed. there needs to be more love for quasi
I agree. This list is whacked! Currently in the modest mouse camp though. Grandaddy and built to spill should already be on this list also.
Also Sebadoh and Bright Eyes would be on here if this was representative of his OG fan base.
100%.
Let’s just call this vote for Elliotts favorite albums haha
Those are all great albums, I forgot about pavement I'll have a listen today
This is uh, oddly close to what the Spotify algorithm recommends when I listen to ES for a few days.
Nobody is saying perfect from now on by Built to Spill. It might be just me. It’s my favorite album period.
I'm really surprised built to spill isn't on there yet
quebec by ween
Sparklehorse - Vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot
Violent Femmes - self titled LP
Alex G - Trick

Where is sparklehorse where is grandaddy where is built to spill where is quasi for god's sakes... This is so sickening
Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

All of Nick Drake’s albums
[удалено]
Its already there
Boy, I'm a dummy. Deleting this to spare the shame.
Really pavement? This is by far the dumbest poll
The fuck you talking about? You realize this album was one of Elliott’s favorites?
And…. They sound nothing alike, at all. Let’s just call it Elliotts favorite albums. I bet you love basement on a hill
This would be a useless poll if we were trying to find records that are comparable to Elliott’s sonically. Way more interesting/feasible to see what we all listen to other than Elliott.
And of course I love from a basement on the hill
Sonically or lyrically? Then I don’t get it. Then call it what are we listening to? Not try to put bands in the same category. Or act like they are comparable.
I mean, I guess I see why you’re confused; the title is worded as Elliott albums that aren’t by Elliott. I was under the impression that it was just everyone commenting their favorite records and we all voted on which one we all liked the most; not as voting for similar records to Elliott’s music.
It is a silly title, makes since why Elliott Smith didn’t want to work with many people.
What’s wrong with basement on a hill?
Posthumously released albums are a Money grab especially by his murderer.
It’s what the people want 🤷
I guess that’s why I don’t know any other Elliott Smith fans, bc they listen to junk. I mean Radiohead and pavement, jeff buckley hahaha not even close to the same kind of Elliott Smith
Dude why are you so pissed off
Reminiscent of middle school when people would post nirvana lyrics hahaha
Imagine hating on Radiohead
Imagine thinking Radiohead was that important.
Bro you're 34 grow up
And here you are
Yeah because your taste in music is superior to literally everyone on mother earth and everyone who disagrees with you is dumb as fuck, please keep educating me! /s On an honest note, Grow the fuck up, leave your mothers basement and look for a therapist while you're at it. People who get offended by one's music taste definitely have some deep problems..
Why are you mad? I think you might be talking about yourself. All because I helped you realize Radiohead is just silly ?
Love the fact that you've replied twice, i wonder who is the mad one after all? Get therapy brother..
Listen to yourself
It's not a poll about what people think sounds like Elliott Smith though lol
Did I say sounds like?
No, but you keep disparaging the artists you don't like because they sounds nothing when Elliott, when sounding like Elliott is irrelevant to the poll.
Actually I said aren’t even close to Elliott Smith. So take that as you will. It’s a silly middle school met list to make. Just saying
Bro find hobbies please
That’s so gross, don’t use bro
Discourse is a hobby
🤡
Don’t say bro, that’s gross in this context
Personally, I think Jeff Buckley can be similar to Elliott
Jeff Buckley just seems flat, one dimensional. The opposite of Elliott Smith
Nah Jeff is far away from flat
He sings in a falsetto pretty much the whole time, the music never really changes. Sounds like a big name record producer glossed over him to make it palatable. Another posthumously revived artist
Who cares
Awww
Methodrone - Brian Jonestown Massacre
sumday - grandaddy
Akron/Family - Akron/Family
