I love him, and I've started threads about him before :) What's your favourite album? mine is a toss-up between New Skin for the Old Ceremony, and Songs of Love and Hate

Lenny is THA MAN! I prefer his first three or four records.
Other artists like Choen? Well, there are quite a few one could mention...
Nick Drake, Red House Painters, American Music Club, Mark Eitzel, Mark Kozelek, Manishevitz, Idaho...

Not that related to Cohen, but have you heard Bruce Springsteen's acoustic album, Nebraska? Very good--inspired Sean Penn to make a film.

Don't be too quick to diss him--ie. Born In The USA is anti-war song which a lotta stoopid Rebuplicans don't realise.

Plastic Ono Band springs to mind for its sparse production and pained feel.

Essential Leonard Cohen by thethirdball
Anyone who wants to get into L. Cohen should probably pick up "Best of" first and then proceed in this direction:
Songs of Songs from a room New Skin for Old Ceremony Songs of Love and Hate Various Positions ...
SKIP "Death of a Ladies Man" it's the worst.

back when I was still a youngster ,and my mother put on a cohen LP, it used to feel like death music or terminal illness music to me. Traumatized by it, I never tried cohen again since.
