Kill yourself.
>>65772255
not going to say because no matter what they are you're going to shit on them because you're triggered I insulted your favorite DUDE CIGARETTES LMAO classy gentlemen artist
He's underrated anywhere. He should be known as legitimately one of the best artists there are.
>>65772326
No, there are plenty of artists I can think of which aren't bad choices.
Don't be a teenager.

Underappreciated isn't the right word.
We just don't talk about Tom enough.

this one
>>65772223
no, he's a pretentious faggot try-hard
>>65772246
no, metal is fedora-tier trash, that and electroswing, apart from that it's really hard to be fedora-tier trash
>>65773340
Swordfishtrombones, Rain Dogs, Mule Variations, and The Heart of Saturday Night are my favorites. Bone Machine and Closing Time are excellent too.
In fact they're all great.
>>65773340
As a trilogy Swordfishtrombones, Rain dogs, Franks Wild Years are amazing, but my favorite album would have to be Bone Machine
>>65772326
Pussy
>>65773340
1. Frank's Wild Years
2. The Black Rider
3. Blue Valentine
>>65773340
Real Gone
I like a lot of Tom Waits stuff, but I don't get how the albums are structured. I feel like there's almost no flow at all.
>>65773741
Damn, people really aren't that fan of Real Gone, which is one of my favourite with Rain Dogs.
Best in Real Gone is still Hoist That Rag to me, and I feel like I'm in the minority saying that for some reasons.
>>65773741
>The Black Rider
>Great
>Mule Variations
>Blue Valentines
>just Good tier
>>65772246
>>65773340
small change, closing time and swordfishtrombones
I cant get into his more experimental stuff. His piano blues, however, i really enjoy. Anyone else in the same boat?
>>65775098
this guy know, that Ribot solo at hoist that rag is glorious
>>65773741
>>65775307
Mule Variations and Real Gone should be in Great Tier. Maybe Real Gone in God Tier
Black Rider in Good Tier.
>>65775363
No his piano blues as you put it is for the most part really boring to me.
>>65773340
1. Heart Of Saturday Night
2. Rain Dogs
3. Closing Time
4. Mule Variations
5. Swordfishtrombones
