[EDIT] One of the oldest posts in this thread brought up an old nemesis of mine: The idea that debut albums are usually the best. I disagree completely with this! I'd argue that artists often get better with age and learn to write and perform with more nuance and intelligence. Debut albums are mostly - at best - rough statements of intent that are sure to be eclipsed by subsequent releases in terms of depth, subtlety, production quality and variety of expression.

This thread is very therapeutic.

I agree with pretty much everything here.

Damn! I'll have to work harder to be unpopular I guess :P

Will return with heavier guns.

Attacking Tom Waits might be the way.

I only like him a little, does that count?

How about this one: I strongly prefer Waits' "boring" piano songs over his harsh, freak-show tunes. Small Change is still the best album I've heard from him.

I like Tom Waits a lot but I never find myself wanting to listen to his music.

Western music would be far better if they didn't get all caught up in that hoity toity twelve tone scale.

I never find myself wanting to listen to his music either, in fact I avoid his stuff.

Would you pay me money not to play him in plug?

On an unrelated note, I just thought up a great business plan.
