    Finding a spot on 1986’s Your Funeral… My Trial, one of Cave’s extended pieces has a lot of space to meander through some murderous moments. A simply terrifying episode of music it may be but the real winner here is Cave’s scything lyrics. Known for an unflinching ability to describe heinous scenes with the flourish of a poet, Cave doesn’t disappoi...

    When Nick Cave’s band Grinderman brought out their self-titled debut LP in 2007, the world suddenly had to pay attention to the musician once more. With the band, he was given license to be as visceral and biting as absolutely possible—and Cave didn’t disappoint. A swaggering lead line cuts through the entire arrangement as Warren Ellis and Cave ge...

    Without doubt, one of Cave’s most personal albums to date alongside The Bad Seeds was the 2019 effort Ghosteen. The album, intrinsically linked with the tragic death of Cave’s own son Arthur, is an exploration in human connection and there’s no stronger advert than ‘Ghosteen’, the title track. While there isn’t much room for the album in regards to...

    1996’s Murder Balladsis often considered one of Cave’s finest albums throughout his career and it’s difficult to argue with when you consider it has duets like ‘Henry Lee’ tucked away on the LP. Featuring the gorgeous performance of PJ Harvey, this song became one of the few commercial hits of Cave’s long career. Harvey and Cave are naturally align...

    Of course, Nick Cave may well have cemented his name with his band The Bad Seeds, but he was leading the line first of all with his group The Birthday Party. The band were certainly on the darker side of punk and represented a post-punk sound, imbued with serious menace. ‘Release The Bats’ is their ultimate contribution to this list and is certainl...

    Another one of the Murder Ballads, this song ‘The Curse of Millhaven’ was originally written for PJ Harvey to sing but never quite made it to the creative star. Instead, it is Cave who has the dried blood of an entire town under his fingernails. As Cave narrates the moving menace of ‘Loretta’—a bonafide killing machine—it’s very difficult to think ...

    Another song from the Grinderman canon and this one is full-blooded and ready to launch into the atmosphere. ‘Honey Bee (Let’s Fly To Mars)’ shows Nick Cave and the band aren’t afraid to let the pulse of rock flow through them. The track is a full-on raging bull of a song. Out of the gates like a greyhound, Cave’s slobbering vocal is delivered thro...

    The follow-up to 2007’s Grindermanwas always going to be a difficult act to follow. The album had arrived with such a buzzsaw heartbeat that it was difficult to imagine kicking things up another notch. So they didn’t. Instead, Cave helped to create and cultivate some much more balanced songs, less focused on the riotous riff and more intent on lett...

    Taken from 1994 album Let Love In, we’ve decided to bend the rules a little and included both parts 1 and 2 on this list because they compliment each other so well. To bookend your album with two versions of the same song is a canny trick, one that acts like Neil Young have employed on occasion. Those songs, as with Cave’s ‘Do You Love Me?’, when d...

    Taking on an American blues standard is a daunting affair. For one, the idea of authenticity will naturally be highlighted whenever a non-American picks up the song. But honestly, if there was one act to be a murderous, gunslinging man, we’d have our money on 1990s Nick Cave. While other acts have included carbon copies of the original song as part...

    • The Mercy Seat. (single, 1988) Guilt or innocence? Or is it just the human condition? Whichever, MOJO’s Keith Cameron is transfixed… On May 10, 1998, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds squeezed into the small London premises of independent radio station XFM and recorded four songs for broadcast.
    • Into My Arms. (from The Boatman’s Call, 1997) Cave’s greatest love song: a wounded beauty, with a dark, desperate undertow. Cave was wounded when he wrote Into My Arms – the breakup with Viviane Carneiro, the mother of his son Luke, and his failed romance with Polly Harvey.
    • From Her To Eternity. (from From Her To Eternity, 1984) Houseshare horror lodges in the mind. Post-Birthday Party, Cave said he was no longer “kicking people in the teeth”; instead, he delivered a sickening gut-punch with the title track of the Bad Seeds’ debut.
    • Tupelo. (from The First Born In Dead, 1985) Elvis is born. The end is nigh! On April 5, 1936, the fourth deadliest tornado in US history hit Tupelo, Mississippi, smashing homes to matchwood and driving pine needles into the trunks of trees.
    • ‘There She Goes, My Beautiful World’ (2004) The stand-out from the rock half of the ‘Abattoir Blues/The Lyre Of Orpheus’ two-parter, ‘There She Goes…’ was 21st Century Cave at his best, leading a gospel choir in a passionate pop noir.
    • ‘Stagger Lee (1996) Not until ‘Pig’s Mouth Strikes Again’ would there be a more evil protagonist in song. The titular Stagger Lee thought nothing of forcing prostitute’s husbands to fellate him at gunpoint, then shooting them anyway.
    • ‘Henry Lee’ (1996) Given an added sexual frisson, lacking from his Kylie duet ‘Where The Wild Roses Grow’, by the relationship blooming between himself and guest Polly Harvey – try watching the video without thinking ‘get a crypt, you two’ – ‘Henry Lee’ was the suave highlight of 1996’s ‘Murder Ballads’.
    • ‘Do You Love Me?’ (1994) If you ever made the fatal error of shagging the demon from ‘Red Right Hand’, ‘Do You Love Me?’ is the sort of obsessive stalker text you’d get for months afterwards.
