OP kicking off with this.

That's not hard mode considering his best album is Swordfishtrombones.

Well Bone Machine is obviously the best

>That Feel

>>70763878
It's in the /mu/ rec chart, more accessible I guess.

>>70763839
Foreign Affairs

Old Bones Whiskey Dogs

fav track from that album is "One-Legged Whore"

esp. like the part where he just coughs into a trumpet

Frank's Wild Years. Honestly, all of them are right in the bag though.

Are there any news about him?

What is this Old Bones Whiskey Dogs?

>>70763839
Can I say Big Time

>>70764311
>>70765512
Doesn't exist

Convincing though

>>70765666
Nice trips.
It's fake.

>>70765712
Yes, but only because it's you.

Blue Valentine

seriously though its a tie between blue valentine and closing. small change is 2nd

>>70765649
last I heard he demoed a new track on radio months ago.

praying that he's got a new record and tour in him, i'll travel anywhere and pay anything.

>>70765776

unpopular opinion

>>70767957
2pooky, wasn't it written as a soundtrack for a play?

>>70767943
this or alice

It's gotta be "Blood Money" for me. It was written for a stage play, and that translates really well into the type of music Tom makes. "Blood Money" feels like a delusional homeless man walked into a run down theater and started crooning to himself.

>>70768506
written with William Burroughs as a play of the same name

Sorry but this is one of my favourite songs of all time, generic or not.

>Tom's next album ends up being his Blackstar/You Want It Darker
I hope the bastard lives longer, but the amount of alcohol he drank and cigarettes he smoked couldn't have been good for him.

>>70768989
>next Waits album doesn't even have lyrics and is just Tom grunting to music

>>70765712
”Falling Down" is GOAT famalam good pick

>>70770355
>20 minute grunt monologue

Would still buy it

To drunk to remember.

Only know he is one of a very few that can question my life's ways on the cycle of a serm whale.

Obligatory.

Surprised by how good actors they are.

>He said: you cannot live in the ocean
>And she said to him: You never can live in the sky
>But the ocean is filled with tears
>And the sea turns into a mirror
>And there's a whale in the moon when it's clear
>And a bird on the tide

No Rain Dogs? Bone Machine, easily.

ASK A KING OR A BEGGAR AND THE ANSWER HE'LL GIVE IS WE'RE ALL GONNA BE JUST DIRT IN THE GROUND

I love Mule Variations so much, though it's biased because it was my first exposure with Waits. I remember being young and hanging out with my sister's boyfriend at the time, and he put Chocolate Jesus on. Blew my mind.

Closing Time, unironically

I actually love the standard bar room piano man music

Best song is The Piano Has Been Drinking

>>70771200
I don't know how to introduce friends to Waits.

Don't know how well it would go down if I got everyone round and blasted out Big In Japan.

>>70771404
start with either Closing Time, Small change, Swordfishtrombones, or Bone Machine depending on their tastes

none of them
