I'm a 55 yr old female from the Midwest and a closet Nick Cave fan. My intro was his murder ballads from 96. Of course the first song I listened to was Where the Wild Roses Go and I was hooked.

Sure, they're great. I'd probably file them under garage rock more, but they're still solid picks. If I had to round out the top four ultimate hard rock bands myself I'd think about acts like The Cult, Motorhead, Def Leppard, Rose Tattoo, maybe ZZ Top.

I'm a Nick Cave fan. He has been my favorite artist for many years now. Glad I could watch him live on Meo Kalorama in Portugal last year.

I'm 28, btw

I'm a cameraman form Berlin in my mid fifties. My Nick Cave period was in the late 80s. From Kicking against the Pricks till The Good Son. From then on I found the records and the live shows a bit repetitive and slowly lost interest. I also thought the 1990 documentary 'The Road to God Knows were' was self indulgent and dull. That might have speeded up the process of alienation.

Today, if I'm tempted to put on a Nick Cave record, most of the time I go for a hard bop artist, that I think I should know more about.

Yay! I’m really glad. I speak Spanish and figured it could sound like that to someone that doesn’t, haha. The words of the chorus basically translate to “water for the thirst, everyone’s on ecstasy in the discotheque.” It’s a fun song.

32, audio/video engineer from Amsterdam. Got super heavy into the birthday party and the murder ballads album in my 20's. Had sort of a late goth phase with them and stuff like cocteau twins and mbv. Now I'm not so much into it anymore. Saw them last year, and it had a very Las Vegas vibe to it. But I still respect him a lot. A true showman
