Only one songwriter could be covered by the Ramones ("I Don't Want to Grow Up") and the Eagles ("Ol' '55").

Beginning with his first album in 1973, Tom Waits has carved out a unique place in rock and roll.

His enormously influential live shows combine elements of German cabaret, vaudeville and roadhouse rock. more on this story
