Today marks the 10th anniversary of Elliott Smith's death. The influential singer-songwriter was nominated for an Oscar during his too short career in 1998 for the song "Miss Misery." At the time of his death, Smith was working on his sixth studio album, From a Basement on the Hill, which was posthumously completed and released.

We thought we'd honor Elliott Smith today with a set up songs from the artist. What Elliott Smith songs would you like to hear for the 9:30 Coffee Break?
