Statts1976uk Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I need to buy a present for my Father in Law and I know he’s a big Nick Cave fan. He’s getting back into collecting vinyl again so I’m looking for a suggestion of the best one to get him. I need to order it today through Amazon Prime to get it in time for Friday. If it’s any help he also loves the Grinderman project too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey1874 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 If no fans get back to you if you search 'Nick Cave best album' online there is a lot of food for thought including an NME best list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statts1976uk Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 Thanks Mikey1974, I’m no expert on his work but I’ll have a quick look at that site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawnrazor Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Maybe a Birthday Party LP, early Nick Cave and utterly brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankblack Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I really like Push The Sky Away from 2013. Jubilee Street is a fantastic song. His last album, Skeleton Tree is good too but a sad album in the wake of a family tragedy. Of course we don't know what records the OP's father in law has so its hard to recommend.

Statts1976uk Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 Thanks for all the suggestions guys, I bought him The Boatmans Call and to balance it up I also got him the first Grinderman album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s got the most eclectic taste I’ve ever heard! He recently bought a turntable so has been buying some of his favourite albums on vinyl, I’m glad he did as it’s easy birthday presents for the foreseeable future! He recently bought a few of Thee Oh Sees albums and they are quite an interesting band! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His musical tastes know no limits, if he likes it he likes it regardless of genre. He’s much more open minded when it comes to music than me and I hope that as I get older I get like that.

Bozi Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 As a massive Nick Cave fan Trust me you can hardly go wrong, no matter what you buy. I just got Let Love In and Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus, which are two of my favourites, Murder Ballads is a stone cold classic, The Firstborn is Dead.... I could go on but if he likes Grinderman then Dig, Lazarus, Dig! Is an absolutely amazing album and captures some of the rawness of Grinderman. Though The Boatman Call is fabulous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going backwards buying just now. Wish I’d started earlier TBH but maybe didn’t get it when I was younger. Bit like Shakespeare. Didn’t get it at school. Love the tragedies now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really is like a Dylan or Leonard Cohen. Poet as much as songwritier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
