i gotta admit, my hypothetical "best of elliott smith" would look a bit different, but it's hard to go wrong with such a great songwriter with such a rich back catalogue. glad to see you included "twilight," it's one of my favorites.

Likewise, my own Elliott Smith mix came out with a significantly different line-up. And, as suggested by the comment below, I see it as a sign of a truly great songwriter that different listeners can come away enjoying totally different songs. (In contrast, if there is a broad consensus as to which of your songs are good and which aren't, maybe you need to do a better job tossing out the filler.)
