Ok, i know of him but thats about it. I was in a coffee shop this weekend, and they were playing one of his discs. To be honest with you - I thought it was some Decemberists song. I am not sure what album it was. All I know is this - I want to get some Nick Cave discs.

So Obners - help me out - where in the world should i start?

Thanks!

i assume he wasn't singing when you thought it was the decemerists.

Let Love In.

'Henry's Dream' is one of my favorites. But you can't go wrong with 'The Good Son' or 'Tender Prey' either.

I say get Murder Ballads. Afterwards, self-mutilate and stagger bleeding into a Catholic mass while shouting "The boats! The boats are coming!"

Yep.

boatman's call

Though it's my favorite Nick Cave album, I'm not sure I would recommend this as the first purchase. It's kind of misleading, like starting on Beck with Sea Change.

Let Love In may be the answer.

The winner

My favorite is:
Abbatoir Blues/Lyre Of Orpheus

Although I'm sure that I'm in the minority.
Still, great album.

And I need to get Let Love In.
Probably my next purchase, as I've been on a Nick kick recently.

i swear whatever song it was...sounded just like them....

thanks for the req....hopefully best buy will have it in stock today....

i also want to add - i am thinking its a newer nick cave song
