Cohen can't sing for nuts, he chants rather than sings! But there is no denying he wrote some good stuff, fine poetry. Here is a quote from the Wiki article - it is pretty much to the point: ------------------- Some unmitigated schlep somehow convinced Cohen that he should put his poems to music and record them. This he did, to everyone's initial shock and dismay, creating the extraordinarily complexly titled debut album, Songs. Despite the fact that Cohen's singing sounds like hospitalized elephants complaining about the food service, women and hippies fell over backwards for his monotonous dirge

Sound of silence.

Yeah, his voice is so "sexy" lol

Thats a wonderful and classic song. Beautiful voice
