I like Tom Waits but that video was grating.

Over half the posts in this thread are by you. Chill!

I could never get into Tom Waits and I've tried really hard. I just can't stand his voice, and it's pretty obvious why.

My Swordfishtrombones and Frank's Wild Years vinyls should be in the mail when I get home from work today

Got both of them for around 30$ total. Pumped!

Big Black Mariah, w/ Keith Richards on guitar

Waits on Richards in the studio:

quote:

There was something in there that I thought he would understand. I picked out a couple of songs that I thought he would understand and he did.

He's got a great voice and he's just a great spirit in the studio. He's very spontaneous, he moves like some kind of animal.

I was trying to explain "Big Black Mariah" and finally I started to move in a certain way and he said, "Oh, why didn't you do that to begin with? Now I know what you're talking about." It's like animal instinct.

In.

And probably agree. Although Brian Wilson is still alive.

Meh. Good stuff but he had long dead periods and his latest album was horrible.

David Bowie is the correct answer.
