i'm a recent discover of Elliott Smith, and highly recommend "either/or" I love, love the song "Rose Parade". "Figure 8" was the first one I got - excellent as well.
There's two different kinds of Elliott Smith, really. If you want the kind that's just acoustic guitar and vocals, go with Either/Or. But I got to love him through XO, which was his first major label record and much more highly produced, with full band on every cut. It's an incredible record.

Thanks Doug! Just for that, here's a song by that 70s-rock-sounding band I was talking about: http://www.zshare.net/audio/5205056942d90b3f/
