I Ain't Marching Anymore is generally considered his best. I've never been able to track any of his stuff down all I have is a 22 song sampler.
Also out of boredom I briefly wrote up reviewish type things of each artist, the ones i'm more passionate about (The Smiths, Elliott Smith) are longer than the ones i'm less passionate about. I don't know which is more informative since the longer ones are basically me just going on about how great the are and the short ones are more to the point. I'll probably fix them later.

Elliott Smith
Elliott Smith is one of the most important figures in recent indie music. Influencing everyone from Conor Oberst to Emily Haines it's easy to find some trace of his sound in alot of recent acts. I consider him to be one of the best singer/songwriters of the past decade. He left behind an acclaimed body of work and a catalogue of material never released but that is steadily being leaked to the public through various sites and post-humus releases such as New Moon and From a Basement on the Hill.
His biggest influence was the Beatles, but it's kind of difficult to compare him to them. Elliott's career was a constant growth, starting out lo-fi folk he advanced to a more full acoustic driven sound to baroque pop and eventually to experimental indie tracks. When listening to his later tracks (the basement era stuff) you some brilliantly done tracks, songs like Twilight and True Love show him having perfected his acoustic sound and tracks like King's Crossing which show his experimental side and when listening to that stuff yuo have to wonder just what he could've been.
1. Waltz #2 (XO)
2. Baby Britain
3. Shooting Star
4. Dancing on the Highway
5. Twilight
6. All Cleaned Out
7. Pitseleh
8. True Love
9. Bye
10. King's Crossing

There are at least 20 songs not on his compilation just as good as Method Acting and if he were making a 30 song compilation they would all be on it.

I kind of want to marry Emily Haines eh.
There's a definite similarity in their voice though, nice strong baritones.
