Favourite Tom Waits songs?
So, what's your favorite Tom Waits songs?
Here is my little Top 5: 1. Clap Hands 2. Whistling Past the Graveyard 3. Diamonds and Gold 4. You can Never Hold Back Spring 5. Big in Japan |
For some reason I love the song Blow Wind Blow form Frank's Wild Years.
|
Anywhere I Lay My Head is probably my favorite. Also up there would be Earth Died Screaming, Come on Up to the House, and The Piano has been Drinking.
|
The Piano Has Been Drinking! Yes Silent Dan Speaks!
Heart Attack and Vine is a classic. Hoist That Rag from Real Gone is a good new one. What's He Building is damn awesome. Goin' Out West is a freaking awesome song too- probably his most rocking song. |
Oh, and Warm Beer, Cold Women
|
Hmmm. I really like Clap Hands, Singapore, Closing Time, Ol'55, Red Shoes by the Drugstore, Drunk On The Moon. Those are my personal favorites.
|
Tango Till They're Sore
Rain Dogs is only album I've heard |
Alice...
I think it's because I woke up in the middle of the night, when I still lived in the apartment above this old man's house, and I heard some comotion outside, so I went out on the porch to see what was going on. I put this CD on repeat before I went to bed and it had come back to Alice just before I went outside. With this beautiful song playing in the background at 2 AM on this chilly night, I stood and watched firemen frantically try and put out the blazing abondoned building across the street. It was truly an awesome moment... |

Ive only got Rain Dogs and Bone Machine, but Gun Street girl and Clap Hands are amazing pieces of music. I saw Jim Jarmuschs film with Waits in on new years day, i forget the name but it was a great film. Its the one where he escapes from Prison with the Italian. |
is that stranger than paradise? no i don't thinnk it is. anyway i love misery's the river of the world.
|
I love "Frank's Wild Years" (the track, not the album). Fantastic narrative, and killer pay-off line.
|
James Blonde not much of a fan of Tom Waits but truely adores "What's He Building?" track.
|
Step On Up from "?"
Alice from "alice" The Piano has been drinking |

"Jockey Full of Bourbon" number one for sure, sounds like Leonard Cohen out of his mind on booze and hallucinogens attending a voodoo ritual in New Orleans.
|

|
New Coat of Paint might be my all time fave.
