justsoyouknow 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2008 I've never listened to any of his work, mind you. I get Rain Dogs, and, unless I'm missing something, it's a booze-soaked chainsmoker rambling. I mean, I kind of like it, but I don't really understand the appeal. I'm assuming Inc and Milky will be here shortly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2008 Yup. Like I've always said about Tom Waits, listen to it in the rain while swilling Old Crow, and you'll get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ravenbomb 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2008 Yup. Like I've always said about Tom Waits, listen to it in the rain while swilling Old Crow, and you'll get it. Â I dunno, I listen to him sober and he's one of my favorites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2008 Me too. I'm just saying even if you don't like Tom Waits sober, you probably will drunk. Â If I'm drunk, I can sing just like him. It's popular at parties for me to do "Suddenly Seymour" from Little Shop of Horrors in my Tom Waits voice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Copper Feel 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2008 Rain Dogs is simply amazing, although I don't own any other albums by Tom Waits. Â I understand that his music changed dramatically around the time of 1983's Swordfishtrombones. I'd be interested to hear some of his earlier piano based work. Which album is the best starting point for that phase? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Giuseppe Zangara 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2008 I rarely listen to Waits these days, but, if pressed, I'd still cite him as my favorite musician. And Rain Dogs is the best album of ever, no doubt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ravenbomb 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2008 I still like Closing Time best, with Swordfishtrombones at a close second. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH! 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2008 Bone Machine is the best. Rain Dogs and Alice come in a close second and third. After that I find there to be a considerable drop off. Mule Variations especially kinda sucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
