Roadmap of NIck Cave's Music (or "I like this, what to buy next?") What to buy if you have the most recent album As most people seem to start with the most recent NC&tBS album, a suggested route through the rest of the albums in terms of accessibility might be: The Boatman's Call -> Murder Ballads -> Let Love In -> The Good Son -> Your Funeral...My Trial -> Henry's Dream -> Tender Prey -> Kicking Against The Pricks -> The Firstborn Is Dead -> From Her To Eternity -> Bad Seed/Mutiny -> Prayers On Fire -> Junkyard -> Hee-Haw -> Door, Door What to buy based on the album you like On the other hand, logical links in the sense of "I like this, what album should I buy next?" might be: The Boatman's Call -> The Good Son / Let Love In Murder Ballads -> The Boatman's Call / Your Funeral... Let Love In -> Tender Prey / Murder Ballads Henry's Dream -> Tender Prey / Let Love In The Good Son -> The Boatman's Call Tender Prey -> Henry's Dream / The Bad Seed/Mutiny Your Funeral My Trial -> The Bad Seed/Mutiny / Murder Ballads Kicking... -> The Firstborn.../From Her... The Firstborn... -> Kicking Against the Pricks/Tender Prey From Her... -> The Firstborn Is Dead/Tender Prey The Bad Seed/Mutiny -> From Her to Eternity Junkyard -> The Bad Seed/Mutiny Prayers On Fire -> Junkyard Hee-Haw -> Prayers On Fire Door, Door -> Hee-Haw Note that this is Dolf's and Ross' personal opinion! The Road from NC&TBS to The Birthday Party: Question: I like NC&TBS, but haven't got any material by The Birthday Party. What should I start with? Answer (1): There is little concensus about which is the best BP album, so there is no obvious answer. Answer (2): 'Hits' is a good compilation that covers the whole existance of the BP, and has some good sleevenotes. However if you buy it you'll probably then decide that you want to buy all the original albums as well... Answer (3): If you want to hear BP stuff that sounds most like NC&tBS, then it is probably best to work backwards, so start with the 'Bad Seed / Mutiny In Heaven' album (Thanks, Oliver).
