Mercury, 2008

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
EMI Europe Generic, 2008
Hard Driving Rock with Dirty Blues Mixed In
Nick Cave has been an outstanding musician for decades. Although he has written amazing songs throughout the years, he has not yet achieved great success (his albums on the top 10). Even though what I know of him, he'd probably prefer it that way, to not be in the mainstream of the rock world (you ...

Radiohead
Ato Records / Red, 2008
Fantastic
