Rain Dogs, Swordfishtrombones, and to a lesser degree, Frank's Wild Years were his golden years/albums in my opinion.

Interestingly, Waits is the musician who I have paid the most (by far) to see play live. $75 in Denver on his Mule Variations tour. I was sorta duped into thinking this was his 'last tour' for some BS reason but it was definitely worth it
