The Bad Seeds have become known for both tender love songs and disturbing menacing grooves, humourous lyrics as well as homages to the Bible and myths.
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds have been one of the most interesting acts in music over the past 20 years. Defining them as 'goth-rock' is a bit like calling Led Zeppelin heavy rock - it doesn't do the amazing variety of their tracks justice. While Cave himself is the only member of the group that has remained throughout its tenure, the countless roster changes have become seamless and have allowed the group to constantly evolve in a way that remains thrilling for its audience. Between Cave's elegiac lyrics and the musicianship of the group - which has contained a who's who of Australian rock- the Bad Seeds have become known for both tender love songs and disturbing menacing grooves, humourous lyrics as well as homages to the Bible and myths. With such a list of great albums in their back catalogue over such a impressive time period, whittling them down to ten songs is not an easy task but here's my shot at it.
