Very interesting that Skeleton Tree and Good Son are at the top but all the other "softer" albums are in the bottom four.

I've only heard four studio albums from him though, so maybe I need to explore his catalogue a bit more.


Without a doubt, man. The thing about Cave is that if you haven't heard many of his albums there's a solid chance you haven't heard your favorite one yet. I honestly don't think there's a rock artist with more variety than him. All he's gotta do is spit a couple of dope rhymes at breakneck speed and drop the "n" word a couple times on his next album and he'll have pretty much done it all. And then the album after that will prove that statement false when he does something else completely fresh.

One artist where it's hard to pick the best. For myself one of either From Her to Eternity, The Lyre of Orpheous and yes Skeleton Tree. All are such different albums it virtually depends on the mood your in. If I have to choose it's Lyre because it must be be that much harder to keep it hanging for 80 minutes.

I listened to Boatman's Call, Murder Ballads, Henry's Dream & Abattoir Blues/Lyre of Orpheus (not exclusively in that order) all before I heard Let Love In. I thought they were all excellent but I felt hadn't properly resonated with Cave yet until Let Love In came around. So that's why it's my choice.

P.S. Skeleton Tree would definitely have to be a top 3. Probably even worthy of 2nd place.

All of them but I vote for "Henry's Dream". Tender Prey,Let love in, No more shall we partand Abattoir Blues/ The Lyre of Orpheus are also strong contenders.

A discography full of great moments, but "Push the Sky Away" and "Skeleton Tree" are simply masterpieces And over the years, they will certainly stand out.

It has to be Abattoir Blues / The Lyre of Orpheus for me, sheer perfection - my all time favourite LP.

There's many great Nick Cave albums but only one outstanding one: Tender Prey; the Mercey Seat is a rollercoaster of a song.

So many great albums but my favorite is No More Shall We Part.

(I couldn't submit an official vote in the poll because I'm still at level 1.)
