But thats basically the point i`ve been making all along.
I don`t deny he had potential , but he never fulfilled it. I think it`s unfair to say that someone COULD have been better than someone else if they were never around to prove that they were .Nick Cave has been putting out top quality albums for over 25 years both with the Birthday Party & his own stuff, there are not many bands that can say that. I can`t think of a single dip in quality throughout his whole career.
To suggest that Jeff Buckley is better on the strength of one album , of which he didn`t even write around a third of it just seems a bit stupid to me. And that is why I think Nick Cave is better than Jeff Buckley.Plus I think Nick Cave has a much more expressive & distinctive voice.

nick caves had a longer and more fulfilled career, im not denying that. but based on the statement hes "better" than every other artist, im just saying i think buckley is better in that he had a much better voice than cave, buckleys vocal range and the emotion that exudes from his voice makes him a better singer. we're never going to agree on this so lets just agree to disagree!

He's a much better musician as well.

Them and the Birthday Party are both really good bands, I have several of their albums and some live bootlegs too.

I cant understand the fascination with Nick Cave. He tries to present himself as a big band/alternative/dark poetic type, but his attempts are tragically pathetic. His lyrics are weak and simplistic and although he does have good musicians, there work is drowned out by his voice (or lack of) which is irritating. This is just my opinion and I am open to enlightenment but I would suggest you all go and listen to some Leonard Cohen and see how its really done.

^Nick Cave is an amazing musician! Go have a listen to "Henry's Dream" and "Murder Ballads"

I especially like "The Ship Song", "Into My Arms" and Cave's duet with Johnny Cash "I'm so lonely I could cry".
By the way did you see Cave's debut as a screenwriter "The Proposition"? Awesome...
