Any Leonard Cohen fans in here?

What are your favorite songs by him? I just discovered Chelsea Hotel #2, and I really like it. It's about his short affair with Janis Joplin at Chelsea Hotel in New York City. I really like his voice. His vocals on his new albums kinda remind me of an old Johnny Cash. It has the same type of sadness.

Not an Album buying Fan, but I've always liked the songs of his I've heard. He's one of the rare talents, a Poet first, singer/musician second. A great combination.

I find he's much more of a poet than a singer. Amazing lyrics and a pretty cool guy all round. I like him.

The only full album of his I've listened to is "Ten New Songs", which I quite liked, it has a melancholy yet soothing vibe.

The only song I really know of his is "Everybody Knows" because it was used in that Christian Slater DJ movie. Good song, dark and cynical. Always meant to listen to more of his stuff and never got around to it.

Been a fan since the first time I heard Suzanne

I got into him after Pump Up the Volume (that Slater movie, I'm also a fan of Concrete Blonde who did the cover version of "Everybody Knows"

So far my favorite CDs of his are Ten New Songs, The Future, and I'm Your Man (even the filler on these three is good) but I still need to listen to several of his older albums.
