Just popping in to give a big thank you to sic for pulling this all together. There's lots I have missed over the years, am going to attempt to listen to them all!
I think we've got a few Nick-less but still Badseeds adjacent covers so maybe worth mentioning the brief tenure of Joe Strummer as a Pogue which included covers of London Calling and I Fought the Law.

I miss anticipating her next record a lot, but after all these years, there's also an appeal to the tidiness of six albums so good I cant choose among them, evenly spaced over a specific decade, produced with the same raw sheen, as though there was a Felt-like manifesto she completed.

That was meant for the Nastasia thread! Though I wouldn't mind hearing the Bad Seeds interpret "Blackened Air" or "Brad Haunts a Party".

i didn't realise non Nick songs were eligible. Is it too late to re-submit?

It's not too late, because I'm still waiting on a ballot for cover poll enthusiast sarahell!
(Hoping for Veg Grrl too?)
Anything that Cave, or any two of his compatriots in various bands, have recorded is eligible
- hence Sclavunos and Wydler duetting on Raindrops counts, Sclavunos singing Bee Gees with no other Seeds playing on the record doesn't. Mick Harvey singing and playing every instrument doesn't count, but Mick playing everything and Anita singing does, or Mick with three other players, two of them Seeds, does. Die Haut with any Seed singing counts because Thomas is a member of Die Haut.

I figured it was a chemo cloud making your train of thought skip a track after leaving the Shane station :) Great to see you popping in, and hope everything's going well.

Producer (and guitarist) T-Bone Burnett recruited Nick and Warren for the 2015 True Detective telly soundtrack album. They took on a 1979 #1 single by Larry Gatlin And The Gatlin Brothers Band, notably performed at Ronald Reagan's second inaugural gala. Bringing in a star violinist saw Laurel Canyon Rambler and Punch Brother Gabe Witcher switch to bass from fiddle for this track.
Nick Cave & Warren Ellis - All the Gold In California
Big fan of this one
