Nick Cave. Awesome! Just listening to some old NC and the Bad Seeds last week. You cannot deny the power of a song like "The Mercy Seat".

I can't stand that guy. He may write some interesting lyrics, but he can't sing his way out of a paper bag, and there is zero musical talent behind him.

Whoops! Can't say how little I agree with this statement. You won't find a Yngwie or a black metal drummer in this band, but you won't find anyone there who's interested much in that genre either - at least not in playing it.
Bad Seeds have a visceral connection though that can only be had through musicianship and years of playing together. Take a look at their Stagger Lee vid on youtube (be sure your sexual ID is pretty firmly intact), and you'll see a band that plays in another time - that of their own making.
Others - "Into My Arms", or "Henry Lee" with PJ Harvey, or "15 Feet of Pure White Snow".
Hey I know he's not for everybody - he's never been on mainstream radio - but these guys really come from somewhere else.

Yeah, I don't mean to ruffle any feathers, I guess his work is just not my taste. I consider myself to have a fairly broad musical preference, but most of what I've heard from them grinds on my nerves like nails on a chalkboard. After reading this thread last night, I went out and found a few albums, including the self titled Grinderman. Yes, I sat through the entire albums, there were a few ok pieces, but not many that I'll need to hear again.
Like I said... not for me
