The Best of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds is a compilation album from Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. It was released in 1998, following The Boatman's Call (1997).
In order to decide the track listing, Cave asked each of the Bad Seeds, past and present, to choose their favourite tracks from the ten albums—their lists would then be discussed until a final list was produced. In the end, only guitarist and founding Bad Seed Mick Harvey bothered, and it is his listing, unchanged, that makes up The Best Of.

With ships and sun and love tempting them to steal—”
