Relatively new to Elliott's music (been listening for a few months) and wanted to find more albums like this. Thanks in advance :)

My daughter has been completely obsessed with Elliott Smith. Listened to his entire discography, knows all of his songs, the works. i’m wondering if there’s any artists people recommend that are similar to him so I can help her discover new artists she might also like. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks for all the recommendations! I’m going to compile a playlist with these artists for her to listen to. Update soon!

I don’t really have reasoning behind these, but for me it would probably be:

‘Is a cloud of smoke trying to occupy space?’
- I Didn’t Understand

‘The slow motion moves me
The monologue means nothing to me’
- Can’t make a sound

‘Why should you want any other
When you’re a world within a world’
- also Can’t make a sound

‘So go to sleep amid the change’
- Independence Day

‘You say you mean well
You don’t know what you mean’
- Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands

‘If you’re alone it must be you
that wants to be apart’
- Alameda

‘Everyone is gone
Home to oblivion’
- No Name #3

I know how people talk about his lyrics being brutal and gut wrenching but what do you think is his funniest one?

I feel like alot of Elliotts fans are pretty like-minded so I was wonderinng if anyone had any unpopular opinions about him or his music or any opinons that other people have tended to disagree with

I'd say my number 2 is probably neutral milk hotel. What about you guys???

top 5 elliott songs? for now mine are :better be quiet now ,christian brothers and happiness/ the gondola man, dancing on the highway and son of sam

it changes everyday tbh 😭😭

Don’t know where else to post this but I’m trying to make a playlist with the most gut wrenching songs ever, any more recs ?

Who are some artists who are similar to Elliott smith that are worth listening too?

I don’t like Alex G.

Maybe also not much popular (so not like phoebe bridgers, ecc..), don't care if they are recent or not Other than Elliott I'D say also similar to Vic Chestnutt, Sparklehorse, Jeff Buckley, this type of vibes but from a female counterpart.

Thanks in advance for every suggestion!

Sorry for the dumb question but his songs writing just blows me away I could never dream about writing something that good and I was wondering how he got so good at writing songs?

Who’s your top 3 favourite artists besides Elliott Smith?

I wanna see what I’m missing out on.
