Elliott Smith by Onater

Perhaps not the most conventional ranking of his albums, but this chart is my opinion, not the general consensus. Also, every one of these albums are excellent, so don't think I'm trying to say XO is bad, because it is absolutely not.

My top 10 Elliott Smith tracks:
10. Roman Candle (Roman Candle, 1994)
9. Alameda (Either/Or, 1997)
8. Somebody That I Used To Know (Figure 8, 2000)
7. Speed Trials (Either/Or, 1997)
6. Between The Bars (Either/Or, 1997)
5. Angeles (Either/Or, 1997)
4. Say Yes (Either/Or, 1997)
3. No Name #1 (Roman Candle, 1994)
2. Waltz #2 (XO) (XO, 1998)
1. King's Crossing (From A Basement On The Hill, 2004)
