  • I don't think you need to "learn to" love Nick Drake. You just hear him and you love him.

    A couple years ago, when someone I knew died very suddenly, Nick Drake was the only thing I could listen to. Anything else seemed disrepsectful.

    Thanks for the songs.

    Agreed; I'd probably put "Man in a Shed" right next to it.

    Thanks, dude. "Northern Sky" is one of my favorite songs ever.
  • Andrew
    As a longtime Drake fan; nice choices. The first two especially were songs that hooked me.
