i'm still gradually getting into his catalog. i find tender prey to be much better than your funeral my trial, despite the brilliance of that latter's title track

Murder Ballads and Kicking Against The Pricks are the most fun for me - big, melodramatic, campy, funny, dark, verging on self-parody but sharp enough to pull it off - all of Cave's most endearing qualities are there in spades. "Tender Prey" has a lot of the same spirit. I also love Cave when he writes in his full-blown story-telling mode - like "Mercy Seat" or "Curse of Millhaven" and "Stagger Lee". I should go re-listen to "Your Funeral", it never clicked with me in the way the rest of those early-ish ones do.

all the late 80s early 90s stuff
maybe my problem is that I cannot listen to a piano/ballad-majority Bad Seeds album....at all
It is my problem though.

Nothing with zero votes! Firstborn underperforms! Shock!
Maybe there should be a "what's your second fav Nick album?"

Who really picked "Nocturama"?!

From my OP: "if you ask ten Nick Cave fans what his best album is, you will likely get ten different replies"
I underestimated by five.
