You and your silly generalizations. Of course not! His singing is also extremely difficult to replicate.
But in all seriousness, this is one songwriter that definitely earned whatever immortality he'll achieve well before he committed suicide. I understand the notion he might be considered an indie darling because of it that seems pretty absurd (and it is to me as well), but the guy had serious chops in all aspects of songwriting.
That doesn't mean I idolize him as a person, but it's hard not to see the breadth of sincerity in his work.
