That's tough. While I prefer Grace to any one of Smith's albums, Elliot Smith put out several quality albums. If only Jeff could swim...

Based off of Grace? Out of ten songs, only three were written by himself, the others were either co-written or covers. Not very impressive if you ask me. So I'm going to assume a lot of the love for this album is based off of voice? I could understand that. The songs bore me but I do like his voice.

3 are covers, 3 are songs he wrote by himself (though if you include Forget Her that's 4), and the rest are co-written with other band members.

Skethces for My Sweetheart features mostly songs written entirely by Buckley, which were recorded for what was gonna be his next studio album.

There's a reason I said promising, in that he died before he could show people what he was really capable of, but I feel he had a lot of talent that he'd still be putting out great music if he were alive today.

If you're implying that a kitten can play guitar better than Nick Drake then I can't say I disagree with you.

I bought it, thought I loved it, but two days I can't even bear to listen to the album.
