Started listening to Tom Waits..

[Desperado34]

Yep. Deserved it's own thread.


Jaw dropped and in full dissapointment at myself for not listening to this guy for years. I knew two songs(Hope I don't fall in love--Train Song), but I never listened to this album and other stuff.

All I gotta say is...

Wow.

Yeah.

Wow.

It makes me sad that you like a thing that I like.

Please stop.

Eagles version sounds better IMO.

I knew you'd write something snarky. Thank you for being predictable as always.

You are actually the snarky one stepping all over my post. Now one asked you for your comparative analysis of the two versions

 

[HeHateMe]

Stepping all over your post? LOL. Get the **** out. If you post something on a message board you should expect a response. Message Boards 101.

That's not the point. You claimed me being snarky, while I proved you snarked first.

Lesson: dont snark first unless you want a re-snark. So there.

Good Lord. You made a comment about a song that has two different versions. I commented on which one I liked better. In no way is that a snarky comment.

So much snarkyness in here

He is the King of Snark

He is the King of Snark

He's the king of something else too.

No clue, Texas maybe?

 

[JosMin]

Look who's the guardian of my turntable.... it was a disgrace it took him so long to be inducted into the Rock hall. Saw him on his last two tours and certainly didn't disappoint.

I could do without the STD's but King is still King.

I had no idea the eagles even did that song and i dont even want to hear their version now that I know.

Big tom fan right here. Everything from his spoken word poetry to the insane The Black Rider musical. If you work with William Burroughs you automatically win. I always like to hear peoples opinion on Tom when they first start listening to him and style they were first drawn to. Cause opinions on Tom can change pretty fast if one expects his style and sound to be the same through his discography. I dont know how far despro has dove into Tom but his opinion of him might change from hearing the Heart Of Saturday Night into an album like Bone Machine. Glad you have started the trip though Despro..Tom is the man!

Da ****. It was on their Desperado album that sold 30 billion copies. How could you not know that. Even Chinese people working in rice paddies in northern China know this
