Barring suicide, a freak accident or a sudden onset of a serious disease, Cave is unlikely to be dead any time soon.

>>69055950
why do you oppose those two and not nick cave?

Ok.

1 (best) - Bob Dylan
2 - David Bowie
3 - Johnny Cash
4 - Bruce Springsteen
5 - Leonard Cohen
6 - Tom Waits
7 - Nick Cave

My nearly objective opinion

1. Dylan
2. Bowie
3. Cash
4. Cohen
5. Springsteen

never really listened to Cave or Waits though

the only objective ranking itt
1. Cohen
2. Dylan
3. Cave
4. Waits
5. Bowie
6. Cash
7. Springsteen

>>69055990
Yeah, you seriously think Cave has more artistic merit than any one of those other guys? I'm not even saying he's bad, but the other 6 are some of the greatest

>>69055927
Dylan
Cohen
Bowie
the rest

cohen
bowie
cave
dylan
springsteen
waits
cash

>>69056025
You put Springsteen over Cave?
Says it all really.

>>69056005
At least the two on the bottom are objectively correct.
The rest is taste and mood I think, but I'd probably put Dylan #1 just because he's been the most productive and creative, succesful in many styles.

>>69055946
David > Joanna > Bob > Leonard >who cares

>>69056057
So was Bowie technically

>>69055972
probably because the others fall into that "singer/songwriter"-class whereas Bowie and Springsteen are more in the "rockstar"-class

>>69056052
Springsteen composes beautiful music and plays a number of instruments, while his songs tell great stories of city life, working, etc.

Cave, on the other hand, has written some very edgy lyrics, he's self indulgent, he's not nearly as musically gifted, his music is better for a certain mood. I honestly only like the Birthday Party, Roland S Howard's solo career blows Cave's out of the water. People only like him because he's trendy and a bad boy

This applies to a lot of Waits as well (except the musically gifted part I guess)

Nick Cave really is a hack, he wouldn't be shit without Warren Ellis tbqh

edgy avant-teens don't like Springsteen, figured he'd get that kind of respect on /mu/ these days.

>>69056099
You could say Waits and Cave too maybe.
But I think Dylan have more perfect songs than anyone else, AND many of them he's done in many perfect styles. Bowie just performed the songs as they were written, not as creative in that way.

>>69056154
Swap Cave and Cash and I could agree

>>69056197
>AND many of them he's done in many perfect styles

Dylan was a great live performer in the 70s but nowadays it's like he doesn't even remember the melodies of his own songs

>>69056187
prove me wrong
>>69056189
Tom Waits' music pushes more boundaries. He fuses a lot of genres, and sometimes I think he does what Cave tried to do only better. I'm convinced that Cave took influence from all the other 6 in OP's list, they were all before him anyway. And he didn't perfect their craft or anything.

Personally I listen to Waits much more than Springsteen. But that's just the mood I've been in this past year. I can tell that Springsteen's work has a lot of depth. If you want something edgy/creepy, listen to Nebraska

>>69056214
Eh, I guess Cash was never much of a songwriter to begin with so I see where you're coming from but the few great songs he did write are on another level compared to Nick Cave's stuff which is pretty gay for the most part

Neither Cash nor Cage are among the greatest songwriters of all time really

I feel like nick drake should be on there too

Townes Van Zandt > everyone

>>69055964
His son died, so he's probably thought about killing himself, and the stress that would cause him would increase his risk of heart attack, stroke etc. Plus he's an ex-heroin addict.

Warren Ellis joined the Bad Seeds after all their best work, I don't think you know what you're talking about

>>69056179
I don't call anything anything, I simply said what I think the reason was for him to single out those two

I really didn't know Cash was so well-liked here
Kind of surprised too

Nick Drake and Tim Buckley blow all of those in the water desu.

Cave

Bowie shouldn't even be included in this list, he's a singer-songwriter, yeah, but all the other artists are far more steeped in Americana (yes, including Nick Cave) than he is. It's one of the defining traits of literally all the other songwriters, it's not some random connection the rest all have.
