What really caught my attention about the list is that I'm not a Nick Cave fan at all, but I like "Sad Waters" a lot. I'd say it's just about the only song by him that I truly enjoy listening to.

I agree. Into My Arms is alright, actually I like the Boatman's Call ok...I'm just not a big fan of his voice. There's an all-around droniness to his voice, his lyrics, his music...they have to come together a certain way for me to be able to take them. But that is a good song.
I was just listening to that album on my way to work last night. Excellent song. Page did a really solid "live" version with the Black Crows several years back.
