Folk-rock singer who was considered one of the best songwriters of his generation. He was best known for his songs from the film "Good Will Hunting" and songs that focused on drug addiction, failed relationships, self-loathing, suicide etc. His music was very sad, indeed.
He started out as an indie singer in Portland, but gained more recognition when Gus Van Sant decided to use some of his songs from his 1997 album called "Either/Or" (which is probably his best album). Smith also wrote a song for the movie called "Miss Misery," which earned him an Academy Award nomination. Unfortunately, he lost to Celine Dion (It was the "Titanic" year).
Sadly, Smith took his own life in Fall of 2003 by plunging a knife to his heart. He was 34
Smith has done 6 albums; "Roman Candle," self-titled album "Elliott Smith," "Either/Or," "XO," "Figure 8" and a posthumous release called "From a Basement on a Hill."

Get the elliot smith mug.Great musical artist. Usually the songs are either very soft and peaceful or guitar driven that still can capture you whilst your ears are overwhelmped to great, great music. Sadly, Elliot Smith died but his music is still inspiring and living on through the fans that enjoyed his work. RIP Elliot.
Elliot Smith is friggin badass. Why are you still reading this? Go download such songs as Alphabet Town, How to take a Fall, Miss Misery, and Son of Sam! Go, get outta here!
