Richey Edwards Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Does anyone here like Leonard Cohen? He is the greatest lyricist of all time IMO. Some of his words are untouchable. Recently started reading his "official" biography written by Sylvie Simmons. An interesting read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed about his lyrics, his deep voice was the perfect match for them. He was one of the greats, a true legend of music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnash Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Aye, I've got a few of his albums. Took me ages to get into the later stuff, but once I did it became some of my favourite music. Ten New Songs is fantastic (despite the atrocious name). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like some of his other stuff to but other than that track not a huge fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Hallelujah is an utterly phenomenal song, however the best version is clearly the Jeff Buckley one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Whilst I disapprove of dandy highwaymen and their rampaging thievery from stagecoaches and other travelers, I do really like Adam and the Ants. Anyway, here's one of my favourite Leonard Cohen songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage Henry Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Very patchy output. Most of his albums are better off avoided. When he's on form, he's magnificent. His final album is one of his best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost In The Humming Air Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Almost all of his albums are worth having, not something you can say about many artists of his longevity. Human life seen with a poets eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
