For Some Dark & Somber Songs For You, Leonard Cohen is Your Man
Throughout his thirty-five year career, there has been no singer-songwriter who possessed a chilling yet, enduring influence as had Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen did. Cohen?s music always contained a sense of sadness and poignancy that matched his deep and somber vocals that had...

The master of melancholia
Leonard Cohen was the Nick Cave of his time , "The Best Of Leonard Cohen" released in 1975 was a 12 track summary of his best work ,which is still readily available . In later releases his voice has lost its sharpness. I do not like all the tracks on this CD but there are some choice songs on...

A Poet From Montreal...
Leonard Cohen's older work definitely is another of my "tender spots"... I heard it ever since I was a kid, my parents had a few albums taped. Nearly thirty years later, it hasn't let go of me and it probably never will. While I think Cohen's more recent endeavors aren't that fantastic, the sublime... Read full review »

Songs For Your Spirit And Your Mind
As a few of you may already know, I am a huge fan of Bob Dylan. In the interest of full disclosure, however, I must confess to a love of, a close affinity for, the words and music of Leonard Cohen.
For me, the two above artists are the complete embodiment of the musical category I call...

The Best of Leonard Cohen: A Portrait of the Artist as a Horny Young Man
The single disk Best of/Greatest Hits album was always a pretty questionable proposition. If it worked ok for artists who basically focused on singles (or at least managed a successful series of them), it seldom worked very well for the many artists of the 1960s and 70s who tailored their music...

Take this Longing
My first experience of Leonard Cohen was at the tender age of about twelve, while watching Christian Slater's teenage angst-filled movie, Pump Up the Volume. Appropriately, Slater plays it on a record album after lighting a candle. Really, it is the best way to listen to Leonard Cohen.

Cohen the distance
Admittedly, I am a product of nineties culture. For eighteen years I have grown up listening to the dank electricity of grunge, and been witness to turbulent rise and fall of the modern music scene. Normally, I would probably have no clue who Cohen is, but I found this album on vinyl one day as I... Read full review »
A Moment of Zen
I bought this album because I loved the opening sequence to the movie Natural Born Killers. Even though that song is on a different album I took a gamble on the greatest hits collection and I ended up with one of my favorite albums ever. I'm only 24, so I really wasn't into him when his songs came... Read full review »
Constant Sexual Innuendo--I Love it!
Cohen's self-effacing lyrics typically portray the artist in amusing if not pitiful circumstances, the vast majority of which involve poetic and real love making-- seducing his love by late night pleas ("Lady Midnight"), a one-night stand ("Chelsea Hotel No. 2"), an erotic undressing ("Take This...
