For those who weren't into the indie rock/pop scene in the early millennium, there may be a songwriter they may have missed. And no, I promise this isn't my usual list of unlistenable music, but something far quieter.

If you haven't introduced yourself to Elliott Smith, by all means, let me give you a few songs that helped me through some rough times between the car and the squathouses long ago and far away as well as some new favorites I later found. An impactful yet ever intimate discography from a very intense and brilliant young artist come and gone too soon.
