Tom Waits (singer, favorite songs, cd, albums, career)

TheBig3 · 11-13-2006, 09:59 PM

well yeah absolutly. I'd still like to think she can play his wife in the movie so long as I get to play him.

I've been working awhile on looking like him. I bought a pipe.

Im gunna be honest. Ive never heard any Tom Waits before, but have wanted to for a long time. Would anyone be able to upload what in their opinion is his best album?

TheBig3 · 11-13-2006, 11:45 PM

I would, but im going to tell you this, when you first start listening to Tom Waits, its like wrestling a man greco-roman style, if you just charge in blind and foolish he's going to wrap you up like a pretzel.

Its best to stratagize. Start with where you're more asthetically bound to enjoy, and then move outward from there. He's easily one of the greatest American musicains period (I happen to think he's the best one) but you need to aquire the taste.

IM me on AIM if you have it: MrTheBrow

Sorry dude, ive only got MSN

TheBig3 · 11-14-2006, 12:29 AM

I don't know how to upload ****.

MoonlitSunshine · 11-14-2006, 10:40 AM

I can upload. What albums would you suggest, everyone? I'd say Small Change or Blood Money. That said I have nowhere near all his stuff, half at most

That happened to me. I rushed into Blood Money and it squashed me like a bug. I still haven't gotten around to giving it a second listen.

Albums? Well its tough like I said, but the most comprehensive are probably RainDogs
Heart of Saturday night
Mule variations

But heres a little something to start with (these are only songs)
Whistlin Past the Graveyard (Blue Valentine)
Rain Dogs (Rain Dogs)
Walking Spanish (Rain Dogs)
Fumblin with the Blues (HoSat. night)
Heartattack and vine ([same name])
The one that got away (small change)
Cold Water (Mule Variations)

If you're trying albums DO NOT START WITH: Blood Money, Swordfish Trombones, The Balck Rider, Franks Wild Years, Real Gone, or Bone Machine

If you do you will not be able to jump in as quickly or at all. Those are great albums but you don't start kids with Physics if you want them to learn how to count.
