On this episode, we selected two of our favorite Elliott Smith albums, Either/Or and XO. Elliott was huge on the independent music scene, and influenced bands such as Bright Eyes, Death Cab for Cutie, and Iron and Wine. He almost won an Oscar (if it wasn’t for that blasted Celine Dion song). We hope you enjoy this retrospective of his life and career, and the battle that we wage against each other for album supremacy. Please be sure to vote when you’re done listening, and if you haven’t heard Elliott’s music, take a listen, it’s definitely life changing!  VOTE on our website at www.thesoundstandard.com  FOLLOW US Twitter at www.twitter.com/soundstandpod Facebook: www.facebook.com/thesoundstandard
