Question: what is the Mark Wein Guitar Lessons Dot Com forum's opinion of PJ Harvey?

[smurfco]

I missed the boat on her in the 90s but I saw some video on YouTube of her playing the song Rid Of Me at a festival solo on electric guitar and it blew me away... so I listened to the album Rid Of Me last night on good headphones and damn... it's so good.

Does everyone else already know this? Am I just late to the party? Or do you all find her to be sinister, execrable garbage?

Here is the video I mentioned... soo good

Yeah, you're late to the party

Fear not, it's an ongoing party and I don't think it's winding down any time soon.

Here are a couple of her performances I particularly like:

In regards to PJ Harvey... I tend to sit on the flag pole.

 

[Lerxst]

Her collabs on Desert Sessions 9 & 10 are great too

Not only did I miss the boat, I didn't even know there was a boat.

She’s a brilliant songwriter. But she works in a style of music that isn’t my cup of tea so I rarely listen to her albums.

I usually go to the show with my invisible rabbit…. I bring the vodka, he brings thr orange juice, and we splash some Galliano on top.

Yacht rock?

“Rid Of Me” is the only one of hers I have and/or need. Great album with crisp Albini production but a little bit of PJ goes a long way with me.

Did you get the second wall banging joke?

No. I cannot fathom Harvey Wallbanger.

Quintessential Alterna Gurl of the 90s. Reminds me of living on Queen Anne hill and espresso, oh so much espresso...

 

[PunkKitty]

I like her.

 

[bsman]

She's cool.

 

[Peen Simmons]

Let England Shake is a big fav of mine. She’s put out a ton of really great LPs. I’m kinda fond of her later weirder folkier stuff.

 

[jrockbridge]

Some of her music appeals to my amygdala. That's the same part of my brain that likes punk rock.

I dug that so much before I realized it I'd been listening to all the followup videos for 20 minutes!
