Tom Waits - Rain Dogs (1985)




This is possibly one of my favorite albums of all time. The eerie soundscapes, the off-kilter percussion and horn selection, the vocals that sound like a barrel full of whiskey-soaked gravel being set aflame and devoured... everything about it is absolutely stunning!

Tom Waits' personal best (in my opinion), although it could be his most inaccessible work, right up there with Swordfishtrombones. Listen to it, and hate it. Listen to it more and more and more and learn to never want to stop listening to it.
