I'm biased, of course, but I submit songs from Nick Cave's "Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!" for my favorites. Cave has been my favorite since I first heard a Birthday Party reissue on Rollins's label. The Bad Seeds are the best band in the biz, and Cave's voice has gotten stronger and stronger each year. The latest album jettisons the stateliness of previous ballad-heavy albums and gets back to rock and roll basics, except the songs are about Lazarus and the Odyssey.
