It's all pretty good, but Rain Dogs, Swordfishtrombones, and Real Gone are my favourites. Pretty different from his early stuff too, listen to Closing Time to get an idea of his evolution.

Haven't listened to a whole lot of him, but I kind of see his early stuff as sort of like lounge blues for junkies and rejects, and later stuff as lounge blues for the insane.

Listening now, I'm getting a Dylan meets The Eagles vibe. Really not my thing, but I won't say anymore about it. Another thread, another time. I was just curious as to why TH always uses Waits as a point of reference.

We touched on it a bit earlier and my theory is that Waits is the most experimental artist that TH is familiar with so he always uses him as a reference point when he reviews experimental music. If he liked Zappa a lot more than Waits, I imagine we'd be hearing 'sounds like Zappa's instead.

I'd have to go back and listen, but I definitely picked out one or two tracks on each that sounded like a Waits song. I can't help what I hear. You may not hear it, but I do. I'll check and get back to you.
