WORST OPINION EVER!musically speaking , Leonard Cohen was shite
musically speaking , Leonard Cohen was shite
Gonna dig eeper here;
His voice had a lovely timbre but even his vocal melodies were piss weak
for the sake of comparison, give me an example of someone with strong vocal melodies?
Lenny can be marmite. But the man could write a song. right up to the end..
When I was a kid myself and my mate used to put his dads leonard cohen LPs on the 45rpm for the craic.
Any of his contemporaries. Tom waits for example.
I find Cohen just ramble-y and has an occasional boring tonal shif. it's lazy, it Totally leans on his rich voice.
The actual tunes are dull and go nowhere. the music is whatever the producer of the time seems to think will work. Mostly it's bearable but beige bland and just a backdrop to his voice.
It's a one trick pony; A very well versed pony with a sexy voice but in a field of shite
for me it's the other way round. cohen had genuine insight, genius and poetry in his work. waits is a hack and a fraud. sozzlesAny of his contemporaries. Tom waits for example.

townes van zandt over both of them fr
IMO Cohen's arrangements are terrible once you get past the early stuff, but the songwriting is brilliant. Tom Waits is kinda the opposite - as his arrangements got more interesting the song themselves got more simplistic
I love both of them though fwiw
i just listened to the jennifer warnes version of 'famous blue raincoat' for the first time in over 20 years. real downbeat 80s cop show vibe to the opening. the rest of the music is a little bland.I've always really enjoyed Cohen songs when *other* people do them
