The only Joni Mitchell album you see very often around here is Blue, which barely even makes the top five of her best albums. The four you've chosen here are her four best albums by far. Another thing that tells me you are a person of superior intelligence is that you have both Pretenders 1 and Pretenders 2 here. And Bouncing Off the Satellites also. Excellent job.
