TBYML & ITD Always fight like war in these polls. Really says something about the caliber of quality an artists catalogue has when they are so solid it'd hard to narrow it down to 3.

I agree, cat, it really does reflect that.

Peel Sessions with zero votes. Gotta be honest, I hardly ever listen to it. Listened to it a few days ago for the first time in a long time.

True! I don't listen to the peel sessions much myself, she has so much strong material such as B-Sides that could've made an entire strong album itself.

Peel isn't an album of previously unreleased material (as in tracks not versions) so I don't really think it fits in here. If the original versions of those songs hadn't been released before maybe it would've got some votes. The way it is it just sounds like yesterday's news.

White Chalk is doing better than I expected, I didn't think it'd be better positioned than RoM and almost up there with ITD and TBYML. I think Dry deserves more love, though.

And it was very difficult to choose between To Bring You My Love and Uh Huh Her - but I chose UHH because I've been listening to it in the car lately and it rocks (it especially rocks when I drive past one of those cars throbbing with techno-dance music and morons, but that's another story).

IMO this Peel Sessions album loses out completely because it is only a selection from those broadcasts. I always prefer to listen to each Peel Session in its entirety, to take in the whole show from each period, that's why this officially released CD remains practically unplayed (except for the very first moment after I had bought it).

I'm trying hard to make up my mind which three to vote for here, but so far... haven't been able to. it seems I can narrow it down to four or five, but three... too difficult to make the cut.

4-Track demos only has 1 vote wow, that's kinda surprising also. Since this poll never ends it'll be interesting to see how the shape of things progress with more fans able to vote. In regards to the Peel sessions, I do agree that since it had no new material on it ect. it pales next to her works in their proper entirety. Still it was released as an official tribute album, so hence it's inclusion.
