Leonard Cohen made 14 studio albums in his 48-year-long musical career. He was not exactly a fast worker, famously writing and rewriting verses and claiming it could take him years to complete a song, but in so doing he showed a care for the lyrical.

More Best of Leonard Cohen is a collection of Leonard Cohen songs released in 1997. It is a sequel to the 1975 album The Best of Leonard Cohen and was released during a period of inactivity for the singer, who had retreated to the Mt. Baldy Zen Center near Los Angeles in 1994. Tracks are drawn from albums I'm Your Man (1988) and The Future (1992), as well as the live album Cohen Live (1994).

Leonard Cohen's new LP You Want It Darker is probably one of the best albums ever released by a person over the age of 80. It's just part of his astounding career renaissance that began when he returned to the road in 2008 for a stunning tour that lasted five years. His singing voice has changed quite a bit since those days and the music has grown much more sophisticated, but brilliant words have never diminished. In honor of You Want It Darker, we had our readers select Cohen's best albums. Here are the results. By some miracle, Leonard Cohen completely escaped this curse. It helped that he wrote some of the best songs of his life in that time, and that he teamed up with producers like Roscoe Beck, Jean-Michel Reusser and Michel Robidoux. They weren't afraid to use synths and drum machines, but they never sounded cheesy. They actually sounded majestic in Cohen's hands.

This second compilation covers Leonard Cohen's career from 1984 to 1995 (skipping over both Death of a Ladies' Man, which is understandable, and Recent Songs, which is more questionable). Cohen did not have any hits during this period, though a few songs, notably "Everybody Knows" and "Tower of Song," became well enough known to be essential choices. Otherwise, Cohen's craftsmanship makes a choice from among his work difficult

Album · 1997 · 13 Songs. Cohen's second best-of, released in 1997 while he was in retreat at the Mt. Baldy Zen Center, focuses on now-classic tracks from I'm Your Man, The Future, and Cohen Live. Many performers perk up their studio material onstage, but here Cohen opts for thoroughly adagio versions of "Suzanne" and "Hallelujah" (with sexier lyrics than the original). The unreleased 1995 track "Never Any Good" is a self-mocking kiss-off and a deep cut to cherish. More Best of Leonard Cohen Leonard Cohen.

Cohen Live is a live album by Leonard Cohen released in 1994. The songs were recorded live in 1988 on the I'm Your Man Tour and in 1993 on The Future World Tour. Several of the songs have altered lyrics, which are printed in the liner notes as sung. Leonard Norman Cohen (September 21, 1934 – November 7, 2016) was a Canadian singer, songwriter, poet, and novelist. His work explored religion, politics, isolation, sexuality and romantic relationships. Cohen was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2011, Cohen received one of the Prince of Asturias Awards for literature and the ninth Glenn Gould Prize.
