Other than his collaboration with Kylie, could any Nick Cave fans out there suggest tracks by him to listen to that represent his best work?

red right hand,
the boat song

anything with the bad seeds

Cave has come a long way. Red Right Hand is a great song. So is, Into My Arms - but totally different in style, mood, and key.

As far as personal favorites are concerned: I love the Weeping Song and Hallelujah...

The first song to come to mind is The Mercy Seat. I'll be back later, with more developed thinking...

shivers

the weeping song
pappa won`t leave ya henry
pretty much anything from let love in! cept for jangling jack
The boatmans call is very good
the good son is great!
his new stuff is pretty good too... abbatoir blues (double CD)
got to see that live!! awesome stuff

ummm... lets see what else... murder ballots wasn`t too fond of

if you like punk his early stuff with the birthday party was okay not my liking but hey.

The Gothic Smurf

'The Good Son' would be my favourite Nick album of the ones I own - it's one of those rare albums that doesn't have a dud track on it. I'm pretty sure there are several albums I've not heard. At least, not when I've been sober and in a state to remember the experience in detail. I tnd to end up at the sort of parties where people play old Birthday Party material; it's fantastic stuff for the most part, and ideal for when one isn't entirely sober and so forth.

cheers. that should give me something to go at for now.....

thanks a lot
