This guy has so many great albums, I couldn't possibly provide enough choices.
I've added Temptation, as it's just incredible.
Let's see, is Singapore here?
Excellent! Gold star!
I do have a soft spot for I Don't Wanna Grow Up... I believe it was the single and video from Bone Machine. It certainly got some 120 Minutes (MTV) airplay.
Shalom, y'all!

"In the land of the blind man
the one-eyed man is king.
So take this ring!" -Singapore.
A great song, to be sure.
I will have to look for I Don't Wanna Grow Up, as I am a late blooming Waits fan. Ignorance, not resistance, of course.
Bone Machine was hailed as a masterpiece upon arrival. Nowadays, the hype has cooled, and it is (more correctly) seen as a fine later effort from the Waits man. It is well worth nabbing!
Shalom, y'all!
