Favorite Tom Waits Album.

Out of Tom Waits' 75613 albums(or something like that) which would you have to choose as your favorite.

For me it would probably be Small Change. Though I'm sure if you ask me tomorrow it would be something different.

Rain Dogs or The Black Rider

but again, subject to change at any moment

Sunny day: Rain Dogs
Rainy day/Snowy day/Autumn day: Alice

i like Mule Variations alot

Frank's Wild Years.

Mule Variations or Franks Wild Years

that's got some great songs. 'Going Out West' is a favorite of mine.

Small change or Blood Money.

tough one. i'd have to say Small Change, though - "Jitterbug Boy" pushes it over the top...

Rain Dogs

Hardly, it's easily the best of the post-trilogy era. That was during a time where ol' Tomcat still had some focus about his musical identity. Just like Alice and The Black Rider.

All of them.

Thats pretty much it!

Heartattack and Vine

BFF

It's probably because Small Change was my first one and I listened the fuck out of it, and with Blood Money it's probably because of my love of Woyzeck.

Swordfishtrombones.

Bone Machine .... yes, I guess it's Bone machine. It's got some really sick sounds on it....

Hell yeah, Bone Machne! Stomp stomp, growl growl!

rain dogs is electric

Excellent question.

Every Tom Waits album is like trying a new course at a restaurant. Its the same but different and new in fundamental ways and even if you don't like it you never know what the chef is going to cook up next time. Drawn out metaphor!

My pick is the more recent, if not as classical or appreciated, Blood Money. My reasons are clear if you know me.

Real Gone or Blood Money
