Tom Waits

Anyone like him? Rain Dogs is such a classic album, anyone who hasn't heard it should check it out immediately. Here's some youtube vids of him for anyone who's curious.

I think he's really good. More of a storyteller than a brilliant musician, but I like him.

Quite unique.

Yeah he's really unique.. especially his voice, makes for really creepy music..

One of my former heroes... I like almost everything about him, but his last albums were not so great. They were good, but not as brilliant as could have been. But maybe my expectations were too high.

Best Tom Waits albums

- Swordfishtrombones
- Bone Machine
- Rain Dogs
- The Asylum Years
- Mule Variations
- The Black Rider

and of course Blue Valentine, a masterpiece.

He is a genious and i love his voice and his musical poems.

Althought i think that Dylan was the best one in this field.

classic. listening to tom waits in the desert is a truly wonderful experience.

Only 5 replies. It's a shame.

Rain Dogs is also great of course.

Rain Dogs is actually all i've heard beyond the odd song here and there too. I'll check those others out.

voice of an angel

Who all here likes him

hoist that rag is my favorite song of his

Who?

lol I like him and his former nanny.

Lol dude, it's probably best to actually search to see if there is a thread on a musician. Tom Waits' thread is here. Tom Waits' is excellent though. I only have Rain Dogs ATM, but he has an awesome unique sound, I definitely want more.

He's great. I bought "Orphans" recently, didn't have time to check it out properly though. My favourite songs are probably Downtown Train, I Hope That I don't Fall In Love With You and I Don't Wanna Grow Up.

I think he's fantastic, easily my favourite solo artist. Tango Till They're Sore takes the prize as being my favourite song.

Jesus Gonna Be Here is a great song, as well.

God's away on business is another of my favorites
