I really should listen to more Cold Chisel and Hunters and collectors
Circus Animals and Human Frailty are good albums but I haven’t explored more outside that
I do mildly like 16 Lovers Lane but the rest of hteir career hasn’t really grabbed me.

NIck cave and the bad seeds are pretty great until his son died.(which sounds tasteless but although I am sure the musicafterwards is personally carthartic, I am not sure I want to listen to it. What I like whatever era of his career is his sense of theatricality, dramatic and dyhnamic shifts of his performance, his music is much mroe monotonous now)

IF you like Nick Cave. Listened to The Triffids who really are one of the hidden great Aussie bands, it’s very clear that they inspired Nick Cave 90’s career trajectory as he moved away from the more harsh music to a more singer-songwriter aesthetic. Also David McComb (The lead singer of The Triffids) have collaborated with Warren Ellis in various side projects. Nick Cave inducted Triffids to the Aria Hall Of Fame. Born Sandy Devotional, Calenture and In The Pines are all classic albums
