But if you find yourself in the mood for mood for some sad, sappy, non-progressive indie pop, give him another try, please? You're missing out.

XO is more of an 8/10 for me. The thing I've always liked about Elliot Smith (particularly here) are all those classic power-pop influences floating in and out like the tide that he filters through his own charisma. You can tell he's a huge Beatles, Todd Rundgren (and probably Jeff Lynne) fan, and that's a good thing.

I'm up for recommendations right now by the way, and I'm open to any genre.

I immediately thought "The Beatles!" upon hearing the song "Independence Day" for the first time. They must've influenced him somehow.
