Nick Cave

I'm starting to think that the scariness of certain threads has something to do with me...

[russycarps]

To be fair dog burger that national thread is a lot scarier that here.

I agree. Last I saw everyone was only communicating with each other by using lyrics from the national songs.

Terrifying.

[Dog Burger]

The scariest for me has always been the No Rain No Compromise thread. Fucking nutters!

Yet another one that I have been involved in. I'll get my coat...

[Zoo Music Girl]

You're only just starting? Rest of us had our suspicions ages ago. And then you were spotted at that gig.....

I don't have AIDS!

I log out of the Tinterweb to chill for a bit, and all this happens?? Is this a script for Dallas now?

[Dog Burger]

FUCKING HELL!

I'm off.

[Zoo Music Girl]

That was one of my infamous phone predictive text typos. It was meant to say ages.

Sorry no aspersions were meant.

Managed the impossible though - got russy out of the nick cave thread.

Just the usual phone AIDS then. Apology accepted.

Nick's on the cover of the new Mojo. 10 page feature on the last tour with plenty of words from the man himself. Nothing revelatory but interesting enough. They list the Bad Seeds' 5 best albums as Tender Prey, Let Love In, Boatman's Call, Abbatoir/Lyre and PTSA (I'd probably agree, save NMSWP for Boatman). Free CD of tracks chosen by the Seeds too.

Thank you!

Just what I needed to take me out of the post-Christmas misery slump. I'd agree with you on those albums, I think, although maybe I'd swap out ABB/LOO for something else? Perhaps I'd have Boatman's Call AND NMSWP. I dunno, I'm hopeless at lists.

Bit of Nick Cave reading certainly wouldn't go amiss right now though.

Ooh I definitely wouldn't take AB/LOO out. Love it.

Mojo actually put From Her To Eternity in rather than Tender Prey - which is obviously wrong.

[Zoo Music Girl]

It's a tough one isn't it? I love AB/LOO, despite its slightly ridiculous acronym, but I don't listen to it much. Some great tunes on it though, especially LOO, and it was the first album I saw live. A lot of folks round here would be incensed by the lack of Henry's Dream on that list but I don't think it's worthy personally. Going to stick with my original answer.

PTSA should definitely be top five though - it is a very fine album and one of their very best for sure. I like it more every time.

From Her To Eternity is ace but kind of immature as an album I think in places. By Tender Prey they've found their feet in a big way and so it's my absolute favourite, followed closely by NMSWP and then I get a bit stuck for the order. However, From Her To Eternity is my favourite song so it's complicated.

Basically, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds flipping rule.

nice one, I will buy that, ta for the heads up.

As for top 5, I've looked at the amount of plays on my ipod and the most played, so I guess my most favourite, are..

Henry's Dream

Tender Prey

Your Funeral, My Trial

Let Love In

The Good Son (how is this 5th!)

(assuming I cant have the Live Seeds or Bsides album albums, because they are my 1 and 2 most played!)

Are we allowed to like Murder Ballads around here? I think it'd go in my top three.

Of course you are allowed to like it. It's not allowed to be top three though

I love The Good Son. I'd put that over Henry's Dream and all.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Have you got a subscription Brave Sir Robin? Just tried to scout it out but unsuccessful

I want the Cave goodies now godammit.

[russycarps]

What's wrong with the Good Son. It'd be in my top 5 I reckon.

Nothing at all, but there's a few albums I like more is all. Or so I thought

Yeah I subscribe, I think it's easily the best mag out there. There's not usually much delay before it's on the shelves. You'll have your goodies soon!

[CardiffWanderer]

I think we at least need mention of Dig Lazarus Dig here. Better than AB/LOO for my money.

Lazarus is my least favourite of all their albums. Still a good album though.

Great thing about Nick cave is everyone's top 5 will be different as he's so consistently ace

Cheers Just being impatient! I don't usually buy music mags unless Himself is involved...

martpol, good call on Lazarus. I do love that album too, although not sure which I'd rate as the best between the two. 'We Call Upon The Author To Explain' though has to be one of my favourite Cave tracks. Prolix! Prolix! Nothing a pair of scissors can't fix...

[Mardy]

Murder Ballads is superb, I'm a big fan

For me, probably, although subject to change, according to my whim

Boatman's Call

Henry's Dream

Murder Ballads

You lot need your own forum, preferably in a dark place.......
