Top 5 Songs of... Leonard Cohen

floydandharvey

The world's greatest living songwriter. Saw him in Dublin and Manchester last month, seeing him in Vienna in September (£160 a ticket eek!) and Brighton in November. Awesome show. NB Anyone who hasn't yet bought a ticket to see him at the O2 in November, hold fire - once two dates at the O2 sell out, he will add one or two dates at the Royal Albert Hall, which is an infinitely better venue to see him than the soulless O2.

1. Stories of the Street
2. First We Take Manhattan
3. Democracy
4. Sisters of Mercy
5. Hallellujah

Shrew

Chelsea Hotel
