How about "none of the above?"

Whispering annoys the shiat out of me. I can't farking stand whispering in any capacity. Neat song other than that though.

That's one of my top ten of all time albums.

I love me some PJ Harvey.

Thanks for reminding me how much I miss that show.

This song has always scared and disturbed me. What the hell is it about?

tallguywithglasseson: I always hated that video, and song.

Loved her later album Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea though. Still listen to it.

Fantastic album!

Down by the water she lost her baby?

Seconded. I wanna smack that "Zoom Zoom" kid in the car commercials.
/still great song

A dissent voice:
Over-rated hackery.

Minimal talent passed off(at the time) as 'cutting edge' and 'too cool for the masses' but is just weird for the sake of being weird.

Yeah, subby, I'd say none of the above.


Here's punk.
Here's blues.
And here's grunge.

Thank you Vevo

Add me to the list of PJ fans. To Bring You My Love is probably my favorite album, followed by Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea. Is This Desire? is up there too, but too weird for a lot of people. I saw her live after Uh Huh Her came out and the energy was amazing, they did a great job changing up some of the songs and did an awesome version of Joy with PJ drumming and singing at the same time.

For me it's the NFL.com commercials that send me into a rage b/c of the gravely whispering "ghhhhhoooo to the ehhnehhhffffehhhl"

But yeah, that zoom zoom kid can go to hell too.

Necrosis: Add me to the list of PJ fans. To Bring You My Love is probably my favorite album of hers, followed by Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea. Is This Desire? is up there too, but too weird for a lot of people.

Minor correction, I like PJ but wouldn't put her at the very top of my list, though she is on the high end.

This was her last interesting album. Her first three records were these raw, brutal, screaming masterpieces. Then, she learned to sing and got some production money and made one more fantastic record. (Honestly, this is the weak song on To Bring You My Love.) After that, I feel like she just got boring.

She still rocks in concert, but the last few records are snoozefests.

I played this so much in high school.

I'm surprised by how good she looks there. Every picture I've seen ^^ led to believe she's hideous.

Agreed. Also:

Here's Punk.
Here's Blues.
And here's grunge.

You have been badly misled.

She's got a bit of a nose, but I think she looks pretty good. That picture above is of the "play up the rawness angle" era and isn't a very accurate representation of what she really looks like.

Here is a very cool sparse live version of Grow Grow Grow from White Chalk...

1. Put snakes on plane: I'm surprised by how good she looks there. Every picture I've seen ^^ led to believe she's hideous.

Yeah. I saw her once at a Knitting Factory show. From 5 feet away, she's way cute.

Here's Punk.
Here's Blues.
And here's Grunge.

/And here's Hip Hop.
//And here's Cool Jazz.
///And here's Toccata and Fugue.

Thank you for that. That was so farkin' rock n' roll that I had shivers.

Yep, ditto on the thanks for the Rid of Me video link. That's my second-favorite PJ song, and that was a great rendition.
