i dont get the appeal of tom waits. i like one song. ONE SONG. and it makes me very upset because i LOVE THAT SONG and then the rest are like "......."
Tom Waits is one of those things that give people something to "understand" that other people don't.
But yeah, I heard a song by him I really like, too, but it was in someone's car and I don't know what is was or any of the words or anything.
i haven't listened to tom waits wince i was 16 and listening to swordfishtrombones on cassette in my car.
i know right. know what i'm listening to right now? MOTOWNPHILLY BY BOYZ II MEN.
I could probably tell you. Maybe you'd like similar songs. A lot of his music is drastically different from each other.
@Sven: Thank you. Christ.
I mean, I know that everyone has different tastes and whatnot, but, Jesus, it's like everyone around me has a hard-on for Tom Waits.
It was like jazzy or something? I don't know, it was a long time ago and I was drunk like "I LIKE THIS, THIS CAN'T BE WAITS BECAUSE IT'S GOOD." and they were like "shutup and get out of the car."
I was expecting Strangerbox to post Leonard Cohen, but I guess she's doing something else right now, so:
Leonard Cohen
Everything Journey is, they are by sheer force of will. And that's awesome.
the one i like is "Alice" because I'm one of those cliche bitches with a hard-on for alice in wonderland. but yeah. that song rules.
I like the weirder Tom Waits songs. My sister likes the more jazz/blues ones. There are a lot of good ones like that on the 2nd disc from the Orphans collection.
I really like this one. It's one of the less "odd" ones. But it just depends on what you're into.

Also, Steve Buschemi. He is not a handsome man. but I would totally do him.
what's the name of the Tom Waits song where he says "i got a hole in my roof, shape of a heart"?
I heard it on that show the Brothers Grunt
and never got it's name (of course)
@Pagne: Don't ask me why, but I've always liked "Whistling Past The Graveyard" best http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGwlAoNFYOk
