    Nick Cave, almost everything he has done is top quality but he doesnt seem to get much recognition. It's the same now with his films The Proposition and Lawless were both good.

    Nick Cave and everything he's done. 21 studio albums, 14 soundtracks/scores, 4 books, two screenplays with the remake of The Crow to come. His word range is staggering. His lyrics are like fine literature that just absorbs you into his weird and bizarre fantasy world.

    The Queers. Ramones impersonators who are at least as good as the real thing. In truth, consistently better.
