Well, let's just say I've been listening since his Birthday Party records were new releases lol. Coincidentally, I scored great tickets yesterday for his upcoming US tour - September can't get here fast enough!

40s. Ship song is my fave. Skeleton Treeeee... nothing is for free.

Wouldn't say lifelong fan. But I'm a fan of music, and you'd certainly discover him along the way.

56, New England, Illustrator, big fan since the 90's.

Have a bunch of his stuff on vinyl.

It's just the right mix of sad, weird, and intellectual.

Music tastes all over the place.

Nick Cave is amazing, but you got to be careful with some albums you don't go into a dark depressed place if you listen to them too much.

Beautiful music and lyrics, but sometimes they get dark.

Skelton Tree / Ghosteen are gorgeous, but given the place Cave was in when writing/ recording it, you can understand why it's filled with grief. I generally need something lighter after a listening session on those.

31 year old construction knuckle dragger from Canada, big fan.

Listen to everything from death metal to disco, but mostly metal and bluegrass.

I listened to The Birthday Party in Junior and high school and then he came out with The Mercy Seat with the Bad Seeds and I was hooked. I have a ton of his stuff but not even close to acquiring everything of his catalog. I’ve turned a lot of people that didn’t know of him into fans as well. The guy is amazing and he collaborates with other really great artists all the time as well. The guy was just made to be an artist.
