NICK CAVE

Nick Cave first hit the music scene back in the late seventies, with his band The Boys Next Door (later renamed The Birthday Party), and later as a solo artist, with The Bad Seeds, and more recently with Grinderman.

Over his four decade long career, he has never had any massive hits. He does, however, have a huge fan following, and the majority of his albums, books, soundtracks, and movies have garnered critical acclaim.

Throughout his career, he has released many songs outside of his albums, many of which were collected a couple years back on the 3 disc compilation B-Sides and Rarities. But that just dealt with his work with The Bad Seeds. Here are several more tracks the hard core fans may be looking for:
