Not a huge fan of James Taylor; Cohen on the other hand - I was hooked as a teenager after hearing his first album, Songs Of Leonard Cohen, I was the only one of my peer group but, **** it, I loved (most of) his songs and poetry. I can certainly see he was 'Marmite' though.
Back in the 60s they used to say you knew the party was over and the host wanted shut of you when he put a Leonard Cohen album on.
Beat me to it. Class. Can't understand why the 80's were maligned (if they were), some belting stuff put out from what I remember
