Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (lyrics, bootlegs, alternative, ballad)

**sleepy jack fire drill** · 05-04-2008, 12:13 AM

One of my best friend's is a complete Nick Cave junkie so I can send you anything you want. This is how I rank his albums in order of preference I can describe them if you want.

1. The Boatman's Call
2. Let Love In
3. Murder Ballads
4. No More Shall We Part
5. Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!
6. Tender Prey
7. The Good Son

Those are the only ones I'm familiar with. The first three are flawless though. The Birthday Party and Grinderman are worth checking out also. Here's some of my favorite songs by him that aren't on your list.

Stagger Lee
The Curse of Millhaven
Into My Arms
Henry Lee
Deanna
Lovely Creature
Loverman
Red Right Hand
Song Of Joy
Do You Love Me?
I Let Love In

I have been a Nick Cave fan since the very early 90's. While I rate albums like "Kicking against the pricks" "The Good Son" "Tender Prey" total classics, I recently pick up a copy of "Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus" and I have to say it is totally brilliant. I would go as far to say that it is his best album ever.

Would you care to rank your top 5 for me? I'm hearing a lot of "go get Boatman's Call"

no?

Mine would rank...

1. Henry's Dream
2. Let Love In
3. Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus
4, Murder Ballads
5. Dig Lazarus Dig
6. From Her To Eternity
7. Kicking Against The Pricks

I can't actually remember the last time I heard The Boatmans Call. That and No More Shall We Part & Nocturama are probably the Cave album I listen to the least.

And if anyone wants me to I can always upload the More Pricks Than Kicks bootleg , which is basically a collection of covers, a bit like a fan made sequel to Kicking Against The Pricks.
