I have a weird thing with Nick Drake where I love him in theory (on paper he's entirely up my street) and generally do love him too... but I find that I can't listen to too much because it makes me too fucking sad. I have the same thing with Brian Wilson. I just find listening to him heartbreaking and not in a cathartic way... just in an unbelievably fucking sad way.
Sometimes I get sad thinking about Brian Wilson when I'm not even listening to his music. I'm so happy I got to see him play live last year. I think I would have been genuinely scarred if I hadn't seen him or Neil Young play live.
