I'll try a Waits one.

Kentucky Avenue (Blue Valentine)

Invitation to the Blues (Small Change)

Tango 'Til They're Sore (Rain Dogs)

Dirt In The Ground (Bone Machine)

San Diego Serenade (The Heart of Saturday Night)

Ruby's Arms (Heartattack and Vine)

New Coat of Paint (The Heart of Saturday Night)

Come On Up To The House (Mule Variations)

Hoist That Rag (Real Gone)

Christmas Card From a Hooker in Minneapolis (Blue Valentine)

And there's about 20 more that could fit easily in there. Had to let some real gems out to make it a list of 10.

Interesting, thanks chaps. I've been meaning to start listening to some Tom Waits, but it's a little daunting without knowing where to start.

Can't go far wrong with the lists myself, Rsdio and thingymajig have posted. It's a very rewarding experience, getting to know Waits' music.

Great selection.

Thanks.

Neil Young

The Needle And The Damage Done

Cortez The Killer

Down By The River

Hey, Hey, My, My

After The Goldrush

Old Man

Revolution Blues

Like A Hurricane

Don't Cry No Tears

Heart Of Gold

Good one (God I love Cortez), but I'd put "Ordinary people", from the last album, just to show how great he still is.

Oh, and any Young fan (well, in fact, everybody) should buy/steal the recently released Live at Massey Hall. If you like Harvest, you'll simply love that.

Velvet Underground

Femme fatale

Heroin

I'll be your mirror

White light/White heat

Sister Ray

Candy says

Pale blue eyes

Who loves the sun

Sweet Jane

New Age

Leonard Cohen

Hey, that's no way to say goodbye

Seems so long ago, Nancy

Is this what you wanted

Chelsea Hotel n°2

Dress rehearsal rag

Famous blue raincoat

Hallelujah

First we take Manhattan

I'm your man

Lover Lover Lover (Live on Field Commander Cohen)

That was hard.

Rime Of The Ancient Mariner? Er, I think that's a bit much for a new fan to be dealing with at 10 minutes+! How about Wasted Years or Aces High?

Thanks for that as i really like some PSB singles so i'll check these out. However, dont feel like you CANT include singles? Just think of it as '10 songs to convince someone of the brilliance of the artist"
