Any other big Tom Waits fans here besides me and perhaps Anus? (he's had waits in his avatar lately) I actually first heard of Waits through his collaborations with Primus, and then a friend gave me Blood Money because his mom gave it to him and he didn't like it, and thought i'd dig it. and i did. I own Small Change, Rain Dogs, Blood Money, Alice, Mule Variations. I also used to own Closing Time. I just love how he mixes genres - and that voice! some people hate it but i think that's one of the main things that makes Waits unique. So Waits' fans.... your fave songs? Tom Traubert's Blues, Step Right Up, The Piano Has Been Drinking (Not Me), Cemetery Polka, Jockey Full of Bourbon, Big in Japan, Eyeball Kid, What's He Building, God's Away on Business, Starving in the Belly of a Whale, A Flower's Grave, Kommienzuspadt, Tabletop Joe |

i dont know much by him but i like what ive heard there is a good track he done with sparklehorse |
||||||||

I remember the Piano Has Been Drinking. I assume, nay, hope all his stuff ain't like that. Sounds like Mark Lanegan if ya ask me, probably Waits was a big influence |

waits has a variety of stuff. a good portion of his pre-80's material was piano/orchestral/jazz singer songwriting. he still does a bit of this stuff to this day. but in the early 80's and up, starting with swordfishtrombones, he began integrating a lot of other genres into his music, like louisiana funeral jazz and polka. his music has since become a palatable and unique mix of several genres. the thing is, Waits, while growing up, would listen to what was popular at the time in the 60s like Bob Dylan, but then would go into his dad's room and listen to his stuff - Frank Sinatra and mariachi bands, to name a bit. He also used to listen to three radio stations at once. To make his voice the way it is, he had Sinatra's voice doctor work on his throat as he screamed into a pillow for several years, so he could have a voice like Louis Armstrong. Waits often compared Armstrong to a "potato from the ground - he was that earthy." Now that's some dedication to one's work. |

I really like Tom Waits. "Frank's wild years" - that's the ticket. |

therre is: prre-Swordfishtrombones post-Swordfishtrombones and Alice if you get Swordfishtrombones and like it you can grrow to love everrything that comes afterr it. if you get Small Change and like it you can grrow to love everything beforre and afterr it. if you like Alice you could grrow to like everrything else he has done orr do what is equally as possible and hate it. i'd get Swordfishtrombones and Small Change. |

Swordfishtrombones is just awesome. And Rain Dogs, and about a dozen others. He's eternally cool, to this day. I'm not sure how I feel about Alice though, I had trouble getting into it. |

tom waits is one of my favourites at this moment. i've been needing a change from pure techno-related music, and he's one of the few that perk my ears. on a slightly related (or possibly quite unrelated, depending on what you think) topic, i also have been listening to bonnie prince billy and neko case & her boyfriends. |

|
I enjoy Mr. Waits. Great voice. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know his last few albums have been great, i haven't listened much to his older stuff. But Mule Variations and Blood money are superb albums. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sure am :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I like tom waits a lot, dont get me wrong, but a lot of his albums sound too similar, rain dogs is similar to swordfishtrombones in many ways, as is alice, blood money and mule variations. |
||||||||
|
