I second To Bring You My Love. As much as I love Rid Of Me, I wouldn't recommend it as an entry point, it might scare some people away.

The two Albums with John Parish are alright, but not on the same level as her solo work. But I absolutely love their cover of Peggy Lee's 'is all there is', from the first album. One of my favorites, but then again, I probably have something like 20 favorite PJ Harvey songs. I couldn't even begin to make a list.

So basically it used to be music that just went wub wub wub but it only became big when people started adding ssskkkrrrzzzznnnwwwkk.

The special effects were stunning at the time and the premise was good, but other than that everything just seemed a bit silly to me. The dialogue, the acting, the clothing, the fight sequences… I never understood why so many people still rave about it. It had the potential to be a great film, but to me it's just an…

I've never tried it, but I hear nothing but good things about it. Especially the blue stuff.

I read it as "…it's not written, so it could be a love affair." If that makes any sense.
