Anyone hear listen to him? I think he's fantastic. Definetly deeper and more cerebral than most of the crap out today.

I've heard some of his work. Pretty dark stuff.

Leonard Cohen is fantastic. His novels are supposed to be pretty decent too, though I've never read them. If you like Cohen, check out Nick Cave as well, also very dark and heavy.

Tom Waits is also a really good artist in a similar vein to both of those, but he's a bit more of an, errr....acquired taste.

Judy Collins singing "Suzanne" is probably my all-time favorite recording. I'm still hoping that in my lifetime someone who sounds like her will bring me tea and oranges that come all the way from China.

You can call me naive, it's ok, but I never knew about Cohen before Jeff Buckley reinvented 'Hallelujah.' Buckley's version is one of my favorite musical pieces in a long time, and while I appreciate Cohen for what he did, I bought one of those 'Very Best You Have To Have It This Is The Ultimate Collection' sort of things, and I just can't listen to it. I appreciate what Cohen did, but as a musician, I just don't really like it all that much.

So if somebody writes 'Hallelujah = pwn' does it mean:

1. I am owned?
2. I owned somebody?
3. Buckley owns Cohen
4. other?

This is not an SAT test, so please don't automatically choose 3./C.

It means the song Hallelujah owns; i.e. it is very good.
