His voice has never bothered me, so I'm not sure what to suggest but, as much as love Cohen's songwriting, life is short and there's no obligation to listen to him.
If you like Tom Waits maybe try "Bird On The Wire" which is probably his most Waits-like
As a Canadian, I'm supposed to automatically love Cohen but I've never been able to get into him. This piece I like though. I actually enjoyed listening to it.
Glad you did, MK. There are plenty of American musicians I don't like, which would probably horrify many readers here ... maybe almost as much as my love for Rush, lol!
Leonard Cohen! A genius whose voice I somehow managed to get used to.
Any tips for that, Carl? I mean, I adore Geddy Lee and Tom Waits' voices, so I wouldn't have expected Cohen's to be this problematic.

For a nice cover, I like Teddy Thompson singing "The Future" -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsMbDbeSBn4
Suggest Jennifer Warren’s album “Famous Blue Raincoat “ or any of Judy Collins covers.
