I've always seen her as the kind of girl to beat someone down for something like that.

Gah ... I still didn't get a Tom Waits pick from Big3, though. Boo this man, I'm moving on to some Bill Hicks.

maybe if you spoke english I'd hear you out.

I have no idea what you're asking for.

Edit: Blue Valentine, Make it Rain, and Broken Bicycles.

About a week ago I slowly walked through heavy snow fall at 3 am on my way home, listening to Closing Time. It was a very special moment, almost magical.

I started with Nighthawks at the Diner, and I think that's a great place to start. One of his earliest works. Definitely illustrates how imaginative of an artist he is. If you know about it, you know about it. No point in giving it away for somebody who hasn't heard it.

After that, it was Rain Dogs, and I was hooked from there. Some material is hit or miss. But only certain songs. I'm not a fan of his more country-esque material or his slow slow crooning ("Waltzing Matilda", for instance). All of his albums that I've heard so far have material that I dig.

I downloaded Swordfishtrombones recently, as i learned from research that it was his first really experimental album, and it's the album i hear about most often, or i just remember the name the most. But also, it had 16 Shells from a Thirty Ought Six, the one song of his i've ever been familiar with. I used to be not so fond of it, but i was eleven, so i don't think that's a time where you're truly ready for Tom Waits. Moving right along, after one or two listens, the album became an absolute favorite of mine. Every song is like a brand new adventure, and he covers so many styles of music, it's truly amazing to me! But not only does he explore all that music, he conquers it as well; every song is a delight. I'm very glad i looked into this. Is there anything else other folks such as yourselves would recommend?

Btw: I gave my friend Stephenjones this album because he's a weird cat, and he seemed like he would like it. 2 days after giving it to him, he texted me saying "This Tom Waits **** is amazing!" I felt like i cured cancer.

I love it when someone gets into one of my recommendations. It totally reaffirms my taste in music.

I only recently got into Tom Waits. I had a couple albums from my old roommmate (Real Gone and Blood Money), but never really got into it. I decided to give him another chance after I saw his reputation here, but I needed a fresh album. Everyone seemed to dig Rain Dogs, so I got that and now I can safely say I am a huge Tom Waits fan.

Plus this guy rocked it in Bram Stoker's Dracula.
