Yep! I love PJ Harvey. I think she falls right into our type of non-pop
music.

I have to second Stimp's opinion here and am wayyy glad he mentioned it
on this list 'cause while, at the surface, there seems to be no relation
to 'our' tastes, dig deep into it and you realize that a lot of the
layers and textures do parallel those of much of what we discuss here.
It's simply an amazing rock record. Patti Smith fans definitely have to
check it as her influence on PJ has never been more apparent. Also, the
track that's a duet with Thom Yorke (Radiohead) has some of the most
beautiful, interesting vocal interplay I've heard in a while. Loving
this. Thanks for mentioning it Stimp. :-)
