Looks like our voters didn't think Ogre had enough layers

Nick Cave wins 9-8

Waiting for You is a great and heartfelt song, but Ghosteen's title track is the one that I love the best, followed by Spinning Song and Hollywood.

Ogre is another fantastic track, and may be my favourite Richard Dawson tune along with Two Halves. Peasant's concept, proggy/folky vibes and consistency are remarkable.

A tough one, but I'll go with Waiting for You.

I'm not in love with Ghosteen, mostly because of the length and the fact that all the songs sound similar, but on their own the songs are nice. I prefer "Hollywood" and "Bright Horses" to "Waiting for You" though.

On the flip side, I'm not a huge fan of Dawson's throwback British folk style but this song grew on me by the end, so I voted for it.

Ghosteen was the album that moved me from casual fan of Nick Cave to straight up obsessed

I've revisited Peasant on and off since it came out, but just this month found out that Dawson's backing band is the sibling duo of Angharad and Rhodri Davies. For the uninitiated, they're we'll respected names in improvised and new music; for those that subjected themselves to Occam Ocean 2, Rhodri is a big part of that project (though not on that recording). Had to include it.
