I submit that the man has a very poor singing voice. His music was also dull.

Yes, he had a couple of OK songs. Mostly other folks made them popular (for example dird on a wire).

But, beyond that, I feel he is very over-rated for what he contributed to music.

I am a Canadian, but I just don't get Leonard Cohen.

Far too much sheep blood on doors in his lyrics for me, (or is it goats blood). And what's the deal with the dreary jew's harp, (jaw harp, mouth harp). in the background?
