Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen have the most atmospheric voices i have ever heard-it's just beautiful... I love listening to them both when i'm driving in the night... it's so relaxing!

no...I guess what I mean to say is that I wish I could've lived in the years when he first started recording.

brithans, are you retarded? Tom Waits' music is ALL about mood. His vocals are the perfect complement to whatever he's playing, whether it be a slow, sad jazz ballad like "Warm Beer, Cold Women", or a strange, disturbing piece like "9th & Hennepin".
Go listen to some Britney Spears, because you clearly don't know the definition of "mood".

i know. i first saw this about 20 years ago on a bbc two late night compilation show, when i was about 15.
i went out and bought 'greatest hits' and then went on to collect his back-catalogue. simply devestating writing and, from time to time a moment of reflective, homoerotic (not homosexual), angst...the perfect antedote to all the balls-up lads culture crap that was bandied around england at the tim e.
only morrissey, bowie, stipe, lennon, reid, springsteen and, of course, dylan, compare

i was lucky to see him live this year in Ireland, one of the best nights of my life, his music invokes such emotion. He gives so much in one song, other so called artists could write a whole album using one line from his songs.

"His skin reminds me of the stucco on the side on my house. it's endured all types of weather."
With a little shoehorning, that could have been a line from the song.
