Elliot Smith

Hi I'm an Elliot Smith fan and I'd like reasonably obscure music along with mainstream and have a good musical knowledge I'd like to think anyway haha and play a few instruments.I like gorgeous songs that make your neck tingle when you hear it. Twilight Color Bars Tomorrow Sweet Adeline Independence Day Bled White Miss Misery Say Yes to name a few

but I think apart from these brilliant songs he has some terrible songs too

I'm wondering can anyone see that these songs (below) are poor songs
No offence at all to anyone.
(I know you may ask what's the definition of a good song and the answer to that is I think it's subjective but I think anyone can hear straight away if it's actually a class song or average)


Can anyone see these (songs below)are average?

Alameda
Roman Candle
Needle In The Hay
Amity (This isn't the worst though)
Speed Trials
Cupids Trick

Also can anyone here, out of curiosity, get the hook in that song Say Yes where he goes I'm in love with the world through the eyes "OF A GIRL" (The bit where it goes up)and think "nice"! or the other gorgeous hook in Tomorrow
and if it's not up now"...THEN TOMORROW" tomorrow if you know what I'm talking about let us know!!
No offence again I love this guy

Speed Trials and Needle in the Hay are two of my favourite Elliott Smith songs

Everything Reminds Me Of Her.

One in a million, I've only started listening to Elliott Smith recently but now do so daily. Handful of artists like Elliott that have the effect his music does on you.

Love Alameda/Roman Candle/Needle in the Hay.

Amity is definitely one for the skip button.
Was never too keen on Speed Trials either.

To be pedantic, can someone fix the name in the title of fan boys thread please.
