I've gotten into Tom Waits a little lately and am loving it so far. Pretty good shite. Closing Time is a badass album. I'm looking for general suggestions from his library.

Closing Time is a good album but it's much different from most of his stuff, he started putting out rmuch stranger stuff in 83 starting with Swordfishtrombones.

Raindogs, Frank's Wild Years, and Swordfishtrombones are my favorite albums of his but they are all good.

I'll post some of my favorite songs by him...



Clap Hands

Singapore

Shore Leave

16 Shells From a 30 ought six

Innocent When You Dream

Hang On St Cristopher

Frank's Wild Years

Thr original version of the song is the Tom Waits version, he wrote it. It's on his album Frank's Wild Years. The versions by other artists are covers.

Imo, he's the GOAT songwriter. Swordfishtrombones and heart of Saturday night are my favorite albums.

He was great in Wristcutters: A Love Story.

Glitter and Doom is a good live album.
