I know the name and I know the voice but don't really know his music. Where would be the best place to start?

Songs Of Leonard Cohen or Greatest Hits would be a good place.

Also Songs From A Room, Various Positions, New Skin For The Old Ceremony. Then I'm Your Man and The Future for more modern stuff.

Songs of Love and Hate is a glaring (but forgivable) omission but otherwise excellent

I'm with @ICBM regarding Hallelujah. I love Buckley's version, it draws out a different emotion (a bit overwrought, perhaps), but Leonard's is the best.

I could blether on about Cohen for ages, so I won't. Still sad
