He may be an acquired taste, but Tom Waits is an original. No one else in my family wants to listen when I play his CDs. He’s gotten better and better over the years (no joke intended).
NOTE: If the Tom Waits video doesn’t show up, then type in “Tom Waits” in the search box.

That is an acquired taste but I can understand the draw to him. He is unabashedly his own musician and does not fit any mold I am familiar with in the music field. I say play your CDs loud [or move them over to an iPod and play that loud] but at any rate enjoy your music!
