Worlds most under rated songwriter

Nick Drake. Anyone got anything to say about Nick??

I agree with you Garnis ~ such incredible talent. His death was tragic and even a deeper loss considering his age. Can you imagine where he would have gone lyrically and musically? He is still a huge influence on many artists.

Nick Drake is not underrated. He gets his respect.

I love all of his albums, too bad many other artist of that era and same genre are recognized more than him. I do think his albums should come with a warning label saying "Warning do not listen if you suffer from depression" or "This recording may result in listener slitting wrist or swallowing a fatal amount of medication

Gorgeous. I think he's finally been recognized as a great songwriter, even if his legacy is quiet.

Very true. He was never commercially successful but he's had plenty of props.

With all the respect: The guy is dead and has been for a while! Sure, in his lifetime he has produced some good stuff but don't you think that, like me, he is being hyped a little too much?

Right now, a great songwriter is Mr. E (Mark Oliver Everett) from Eels!

worship Nick Drake worship Yes, Pink Moon is a classic downer album akin to Lou Reed's Berlin.
