**EDIT: not saying that this will be the same. Just when I thought I scored a cool limited edition I realised it was overpriced for what it was.
(Sorry it was annoying me what the name of that thing was so I had to scroll through some emails to find out!)
Dublin 02 Arena - 22/6/10. Belfast Odyssey Arena - 23/6/10. London Hyde Park - 25/6/10. Berlin Wuhlheide - 30/6/10.
Manchester MEN - 20/06/12. Manchester MEN - 21/06/12
Mucking around today and thought I'd have a crack at drawing the wonderful Mr. Waits.

See what you think :thumbup:
-Eddie Vedder, "Smile"
these good starting points that give a well rounded approach to his music, just choosing 2 each from different stages in his career
Early:
The Heart of Saturday Night - This shows his 70's songwriting mixed with jazz influences
Nighthawks At The Diner - This was recorded live in studio in front of an audience of about 100 people, his 70's persona as a freewheeling jazz/singer songwriter is really captured here.
Mid:
Heart Attack & Vine - this is the bridge album between his past and future
Rain Dogs - considered his peak album and defined Tom Waits of the 80's
Later:
Mule Variations - classic album, really well rounded and all-encompassing of his music
Real Gone - Dark, grim album and first to not feature a piano composition
If you like all of those, you'll end up buying his whole catalogue
Thanks, mookeywrench!
-Eddie Vedder, "Smile"
I agree with all those suggestions. Heart of Saturday Night was my first Waits album followed by Rain Dogs. Mule Variations is quite accessable and showcases a good range of Tom Waits' song writing ability. I think it was Heart Attack & Vine that pushed me over the edge with Tom.
1) Rain Dogs
2) Franks Wild Years
3) Bone Machine
4) Mule Variations
5) Real Gone
6) Bad as Me
Descriptions of "Bone Machine" have me intrigued as well but probably not as a starting point.

I love how Tom enters into his actual singing voice when the narrator reads the line in the letter "Charlie, I almost went crazy..."
Spectacular performance of "Christmas Card From A Hooker In Minneapolis": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1ZcxsHKBW4
One of the best ACL performances I know of.
