I don't get Tom Waits.

That's pretty much it. Does someone have some essential Tom Waits listening?

I was just watching the Keith Richards doc and thinking "Tom Waits is a strange dude."

A decent songwriter but I find him unlistenable.

i've tried to get into his music. can't do it.

One of my all time favorites... His earlier stuff is probably an easier entry point into his music, he did start to get more eclectic as his career went on...

Terrible voice IMO.
I know people who love his music....it's just not for me.

It's not for the weak-minded.
Sorry you don't "get" "it"

Sorry, I didn't jump on the hipster train like a lot of people. I like what I like and I'm not persuaded into liking music - like I feel some of the "Oh Tom Waits is soooo great" fans are.
If you really like Tom, great. I think he sounds like shite.

Has little to do with being a "hipster", although plenty of them like Waits. He is very bright and talented songwriter and, yes, performer. If you don't dig him that's fine, but it's your loss.

I have a few of his albums on vinyl and enjoy listening to them.

Nothing to get. He's terrible. He's the annoying "artist" that supposedly every other artist loves so much. Ridiculously unlistenable.
Anytime anyone gets going negative on Randy Newman, I direct them to Tom Waits.
