Are you kidding me? He a genius!
There is nothing better then:
1982's Ignition
But in my opinion he kinda went south around the time of
1995's Temple Bar
But for the most part, GENIUS!
................Oh, shit.........waite a minute.

Regardless of whether you like him or hate him you have to give him credit for adopting that voice he uses and sticking with it for all these years. You know he doesn't have to sing that way.
That takes balls to stick to a schtick for that long and be successful at it.
Balls. Big Balls.

Tom Waits is a big help in broken hearted situations.

I have only heard one song of his, but it was awesome. "God's Away on Business" - a really bizarre but really catchy little number. Gotta love the clarinet and the weirdass percussion.

he's got a couple decent albums but he's not as great as any 20something girl would tell you he is.

I hate, and have always hated, Tom Waits.
There, I said it.
