I liked that Silent all these Years song and she was an attractive woman to me in my formative years.

Tori Amos has written more relevant music, more recently than James Hetfield.

Well, how bout a short list of these then? Anything at all catch your...discerning taste -
James Hetfield - said Waits "is a master craftsman at lyrics, painting a picture in one sentence"
Mike Patton - Waits is a direct vocal influence; Angel Dust included the Waits-inspired track "RV"
Steve Vai - "Tom Waits is my favorite artist now… I buy everything he ever does"
Les Claypool - " said he's very heavily influenced by Waits"
Of Fungi and Foe is often compared to Rain Dogs
Nick CaveDark - stylistic parallels to Waits' narrative, gothic world-building
Converge - Multiple songs noted for Waits-like dark, atmospheric energy
Stolen Babies - described by fans as "literally the Tom Waits version of heavy metal"
Zeal & Ardor - Stranger Fruit album frequently recommended to Waits fans who want metal
SwansNoise - Listed among artists directly influenced by Waits' abrasive, textural approach
Joe Strummer - fucking legend

He's a Kerouac obsessed, croaking, heroin addled frog that hipsters pretend is an amazing musican, even though his only remotely listenable albums are "rain dogs" and "mule variations", and calling them "remotely listenable" is a bit on the diplomatic side
He's much more famous for other famous people pretending to like his music, than for his music itself - and probably most famous for playing the bug eating motherfucker in bram stokers dracula

100% accurate. The blueprint for every horrible "americana" artist out there that isn't capable of playing actual blues or rock music.

Here's a sample - Hahaha
It's so far over Von Zipper's head it's like he's at the bottom of the fucking Mariana Trench.
That whole album is fantastic
* Also, I don't think dumbfuck knows what milquetoast even means

He's got more blues in a single drop of his ball sweat than you have ever had in your entire life.
You're a phony pretentious loser and you know that, come on, just admit it

You lost all credibility when you mentioned how much you loved him then doubled down and used actors to defend his fartistry. No one is taking you seriously here now thanks to that.
