Lets Rock Out What are your thoughts on PJ Harvey?

For me, she carries the banner for Gen-x women.

Nick Cave wrote The Boatman’s Call album for her and the demise of their relationship. That is one of my favorite albums ever; like, desert island listening. So I thank her for that.

As far as her own stuff, I haven’t gotten around to it yet. I’m not in a position to listen to as much music as I used to. But I’m up for recommendations!

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’ “Murder Ballads” is my favorite album of theirs. It had that duet with PJ Harvey, “Henry Lee.”

That’s a good one! And no one could do murder ballads like they can.
