I might be in the minority, but while Elliott Smith is my favorite singer of all time, I really dislike Figure 8. This is probably attributed to the fact that I very much prefer his lo-fi work, Roman Candle is not only my favorite of his albums but one of my favorites of all time. That said, there are a couple of songs I absolutely love off of Figure 8, those being Son Of Sam, Wouldn't Mama Be Proud, and I Better Be Quiet Now.
Anyways, Elliott is one of two artists that really got me interested in music. I first heard Angeles and Needle In The Hay and ever since then I've been pretty much obsessed with his music.
