I can only agree. As much as I like Morrissey, when it comes to relationships, I can relate to Cohen's lyrics a lot more.

One of the greatest writers in the history of the rap game for me is the Notorious B.I.G. His flow and delivery were absolutely on another level.

We miss yah' Big Poppa !

Billy Bragg

Like them both, beginning to like Sufjan Stevens quite a bit-a few months ago
was listening to 'Ring Them Bells' all the time....

I've only got Illinois, Michigan and Seven Swans. Don't know that one.

Magnolia Electric Co. the album is still Molina's best work, though What Comes After the Blues is pretty special also.

 

[southpaw]

Matt Ward or Rufus Wainwright anyone? Not the best ever, but up there...

Sorry yeah I meant the Songs Ohia album called Magnolia Electric Co. It's an unbelievably great album. It all get's a bit confusing with the name changes though

I recently started listening to Okkervil River also, who are kind of similar. Haven't listened enough to get in to more than a few songs yet though.

 

[Practising Troublemaker]

Bob Dylan

[human being]

In my opinion it's Darren Hayman from Hefner.

Will Sheff from Okkervil River is right up there too.

If you like them, you will probably like Gravenhurst-Animals is my favorite
song by them-this video is from some movie but this is the song
