Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds were formed in Melbourne in 1983, when Nick Cave gathered musicians from the Australian post-punk scene around him. The band has since become one of rock’s most enduring and respected institutions, with over forty years on the road and a catalogue spanning from the raw debut From Her to Eternity to the grand, orchestral landscapes of Ghosteen. Musically, they move between dark blues, gothic rock, spoken word and fragile balladry — often within the same concert. Cave’s voice is equal parts preacher and poet, and his lyrics circle around love, grief, faith and violence with a literary weight few other rock artists can match.
Live, Nick Cave is a force without equal. He shifts between intense intimacy and explosive energy, meeting the audience with a presence that makes every concert something unique. This is an artist you don’t just watch — you experience.
The Groove is music.nw’s own measure of renown — not an opinion, a fact computed from the record. It weighs reach (how many people engaged) against acclaim (how highly they rated it), balanced so a handful of votes can’t outshout a lasting favourite.
Computed the NeuraWeb way, across the whole record. The same yardstick for everyone — which is why the little-known can out-Groove the famous in their own corner.
How Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds moved
Genre belongs to the record, not to the artist. Every album’s Groove is shared out across the genres it actually is — by how the raters tagged it — so nobody is 100% one thing. Stack that by decade and a career draws itself.
