    I like his "HALLELUJAH".... actually I favor Bon Jovi's cover of it.

    "So Long, Marianne" is my favourite Leonard Cohen song. I like "Closing Time" too.

    I love Leonard Cohen!

    He is mostly thought of as a songwriter, but I love it when he sings his own songs.

    Nothing beats "Hallelujah".

    And I think the lines

    Ring the bells that still can ring
    Forget your perfect offering
    There is a crack in everything
    That's how the light gets in.

    in the song "Anthem" are some of the most poignant and beautiful ever written.

    I absolutely used to LOVE Leonard Cohen but haven't listened to him lately. This certainly revived my interest, thanks for pointing this OUT.

    I love Suzanne and I'll take Manhattan.... and much more. I haven't heard the Hallelujah one before, it was nice but not the best of his songs. Looking at those videos on you tube he was Much Younger in them than now,

    I am going to pull out my CDs of him and Listen to him tonight by the Fireplace.
