Here's one that is so not like any Tom Waits I've ever seen...  He's playing piano, singing a torch song....

Here's another.... "Down in the Hole"

"alice", "flower's grave", the one off of b.b.b. that is spoken and at the end the leg is pulled. and many other's i cannot name.
Hold On and House where nobody lives!
Innocent When You Dream
16 Shells from a Thirty Ought Six

...and heck, just about everything he's ever done. I own every cd he's released.
I have to agree. They are all amazing. I also, really love the little narration bits in between songs. My favorites narrations are "What's He Building in There" on Mule Variations and "Pontiac" on "Orphans & Brawlers . . ."

Amazing melody work. Gatta love old Tom:) Thnx for the vids
I put my vote in for "Little Drop of Poison"
Lately my favorite has been Circus on the Glitter and Doom album. The lyrics are so well written and performed that you can see every last detail in his voice. You can't just read them either. You have to hear him tell it.
"Trampled Rose" on the album Real Gone has what is described on the album credits as a "Cigar Box Banjo". You can see it in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHb3Jqk71X8
well i listened to Grapefruit Moon on the way to work today about 5 times in a row.
No question, "Heigh Ho" from Snow White.

Hard to say, got a lot of favorites - especially off of Blue Valentine. Maybe because most other people skip this one. Anyhow, here's a few:
