Top 50 Cave Songs: Yours

What are your top 50 Nick Cave songs?



Songs can include anything done with The Bad Seeds, Boys Next Door, Birthday Party, Grinderman, special appearances, soundtrack work, etc.

Try to rank them, #1 being your favorite, all the way down to #50. I want to come up with a list of what some of us(we?) random fans really love.

Post your choices here (in order), and I'll post all the results. I also need to finally post some mixes and work some more on the mood theme.

Ciao! (wtf?) I'll post mine sometime this weekend.

    Hey I'm doing my own top 50 because of Uncut magazine thing but it's not just a big list I'm writing about each song too which could be a mistake but I've started it now. It is a bit different take because I'm cutting the all "The Best of" tracks like here's some other songs to listen to. Come over have a look and I'll love to know what you think. http://blackcoffeeduck.blogspot.com/
