Nick Cave fans?


I've become a huge fan of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds during the past year or so. He is so eclectic, ranging from the punk-laden angst and rage of "Murder Ballads" to the darkly humorous (and sometimes tender) songs on "The Boatman's Call."

Any other aficionados out there? Favorites? Best shows?

I strongly recommend his newer CDs, then:
"No More Shall We Part"
"The Boatman's Call"

Also, he has some very interesting ideas about songwriting, the "muse," etc. that he explores in two lectures that are also available on a single CD: "The Secret Life Of The Love Song" and "The Flesh Made Word."
Been a fan for years. His album "Your Funeral...My Trial" was pressed on two 45rpm LPs and sounds fantastic (besides having some great songs). You can't go wrong with any of his albums but two of my faves are "Henry's Dream" and "Tender Pray".
i dont consider myself as just a fan ,i live the lifestyle as well, probably one of the most original guys out there,
besides ,the pricks album it has been an amazing evolution of his style,let love in, was a turning point in his style,
he also sings with j cash on his new album, the wim wenders until the end of the world movie you get too see him sing until the end of the world ,great movie too ,my wife is now a big fan as well after i took her to his concerts, i like the whole clan and their evolvements,mick harvey,anita lane,
etc,
i am a big diy guy and use him for vocal references(he loves tubes)
He does a killer, haunting version of Neil Youngs "Helpless" on a tribute album from a few years back. Lot of good covers on the disc, but worth the price for this particular song alone.
He does some Dylan covers, too, in concert.

I read that he is giving up touring because he is too old!! Dylan is 61 and still going strong! I don't think Nick is much over mid-40s.

I think Dylan and Cave have something of a mutual admiration thing going. See this link:
