Best version of "Stagger Lee?"

[Orrex]

1. Love the "Murder Ballads"

and other CD's by Nick Cave. He is a great musician

[Orrex]

2. Murder Ballads is perfection

I gained an entirely new appreciation for Kylie Minogue, whom I'd only previously known from her cover of Do The Locomotion.


And I still think that it would totally kick ass if some Disney or Nick Jr. starlet would cover The Curse of Milhaven. Can you imagine Miley Cirus or iCarly belting it out while being of approximately the same age as Lottie? Fantastic!

3. Mississippi John Hurt's version (nt)

[raccoon]

4. What've you got against Lloyd Price's version? nt

[KamaAina]

8. Yeah! Why does he hate New Orleans so much?

:shrug:

[Orrex]

10. I object to that pretentious silent L of his.

WTF is up with that?

[MrCoffee]

5. I kick motherfuckin' asses like you every day, Mr. Stagger Lee.

15. Professor Longhair w/Gatemouth Brown on Rock and Roll Gumbo.

One of the best albums ever. Jambalaya, Junko Partner, Tipitina, Rockin Pneumonia. Really, give it a shot, you will not be disappointed.

16. Cave pretty much creates his own genre there...

It's like goth/folk/gangsta rap!
