title track just beats out Working For The Man.
god I love the bass sound on this album. so distorted and overdriven, it sounds loud no matter what volume you play it at.

sighat this point, I'm predicting wrong (meaning non-C'mon Billy or The Dancer) results. :(

Turangalila, don't despair, remember the "sudden surge of love" upthread!

i don't understand the appeal of meet ze monsta at all. by far the weakest track on the record. pj harvey on autopilot. the dancer on the other hand is my romantic choice. i saw her live about ten years ago. we went the 400 kilometers to munich to see giant sand. howe gelb started at 8pm sharp. we were 5 minutes late. she was the main act. and god did she blow away howe. what a stage presence, what an energy. unbelievable. she's just blood and bones but man does she kick ass.

Surprisingly strong showing from "Down By The Water"! ^___^
I forgot to vote. T_T

only two votes for working for the man? without mine it would have finished last. i am surprised.

Been playing this album a lot over the last two weeks. Love her vocalisation on/of the title track, what an opener. Tough to OPO, it's between the top three of this poll. I think.

Would love to see her live again. Only saw her once, in 1992. Not as extravagant a stage presence as I've seen of later 90s dates but still, so impressive. By far the best of the line up of the festival imo, and yes, that includes Pearl Jam's epic performance (setlist: O Stella, Dress, Highway 61 Revisited, Hair, Victory, Sheela-Na-Gig, Water - https://youtu.be/hNmLwW1RaXM?t=1h33m13s)
