Where the heck is a thread for this amazing man?! :o :rolleyes:

Seriously, if you have no idea who he is, I strongly recommend finding some of his songs!

Such a shame about his untimely death :cry:

:( poor guy

 

 

:thumbsup: music tho :cool:

awwww I love me some Nick Drake.

I have heard a lot about him. Is there an album you would recommend?

Nick drake is cool. I'm not sure which album to recommend. Theya re all quite good I thinks.

I would recommend for starters, 'Way To Blue: An Introduction To Nick Drake'. And yes, he's music is wonderful.

This guy was amazing. Ever since the Garden State soundtrack seems like everyone's been discovering his genius.

My favorites of his include:

Hazey Jane I & II

River Man

Pink Moon

Place To Be

The Thoughts Of Mary Jane

Cello Song

Fly

Milk and Honey

Cocaine Blues

I'm so glad this thread didn't bomb! :lol:

I'd recommend the album "five leaves left" :heart:

There isn't a song on there that I don't like! :o :)

Fifi, you are so right. Five Leaves Left is amazing. The whole thing flows together beautifully

Nick Drake is amazing. Very underrated, but getting more famous now. Beauliful song writing and singing.

 

Buy 5 Leaves Left, and you won't regret it.

i had known nick drake's music before i ever knew his name. he's a great artist, or was anyway.

 

in my rock and roll history class that i took first year we discussed him. it was interesting. i guess he was painfully shy and had awful stage frieght. even if it was 12 die hard fans he would be trembling backstage.

i saw writen and i saw say

pink moon is on its way

 

remember that volkswagon commercial years ago?

^^Strangely enough I do :lol:

lol thats what got me hooked!

i recommend Pink Moon and Northen Sky from the fab Nick Drake
