Wow, I wouldn't expect this much dissent from a forum which is generally amicable towards his music.
Personally, I only discovered Elliott a few months ago, 'round my birthday, and he certainly grew on me quickly. I feel such remorse that I didn't listen to his music sooner, while he was still alive. He may not have been an amazing musician, but he was a great songwriter and a poignant lyricist, and certainly deserves a spot in the MB Hall of Fame.
Is it just me, or am I sensing a huge divergence in viewpoints between peoples across the pond?
