For me its the first or very early LP's of: Allman Brothers - "Allman Joys" "Idyllwild South" Santana - "Santana" 200 g reissue Emerson Lake and Palmer - "Emerson Lake and Palmer" and, Beethoven - "Piano Concerto No. 4 in G Major" Rudolph Serkin/Ozawa/BSO
Joel, I suggest starting with To Bring You My Love from PJ. I don't think it's fair to compare her to anyone, the best I can think of is a mash-up of Tom Waits and Garbage.
Big PJ Harvey fan here, and glad to see her getting some love in this excellent thread. For those up for a deeper dive, there are now demo albums for each of her major releases, all of them highly recommended. I got these a month ago and really enjoy these "roughed up" alternative takes on the originals.
