Mysterious, beautiful, compelling......music.
PJ harvey is one of the most uniquely powerful artists of all time. More direct than Joni Mitchell, More serious than Liz Phair, more hooky than Hole, pj harvey has a serious shot at the title of best female solo artist of all time.
Consider the evidence:
Essential albums: Rid Of Me, To Bring You my Love, Stories from the city, Stories from the sea, White Chalk, Let England Shake, Dry and finally Is this desire.
Great music videos: Man-size, A place called home, good fortune, working for the man.
Evolving artistic styles that still retain musical punch and relevancy, Rid of me being the sonic inspiration for In Utero, etc. She is great. Discussion? opinion?

Out of these, I choose Dry, which nailed me to the floor on first listen way back when. So raw and moving. Excellent rock album. But I tend to think Let England Shake is actually the best record she's made.

I should've altered the post further..........I actually meant that I loved Rid of Me on first listen, not when it was released. I hadn't even been born when it was released.
I have been 12 years old for around 3 months.
