Again another pointless thread that was directly inspried by the one at unforumzed but:

1. Is This Desire?
2. To Bring You My Love
3. Rid Of Me
4. Dance Hall At Louse Point
< Let England Shake (I'm thinking this will be the future 5th ranking based on what I've heard so far)
5. White Chalk
6. Dry
7. A Woman A Man Walked By
8. 4-Track Demos
9. Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea
10. Uh Huh Her

Love everything though. No such thing as a bad/weak album.

1. To Bring You My Love;
2. Is This Desire? \ White Chalk;
3. Rid of Me;
4. Dance Hall at Louse Point;
5. Dry;
6. Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea;
7. Uh Huh Her;
8. A Woman A Man Walked By.

I would place Let England Shake at the third place instead of Rid of Me, speaking for what I've heard!

To Bring You My Love / Is This Desire?
Uh Huh Her
Dry
Rid of Me
A Woman A Man Walked By
Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea
Dance Hall at Louse Point
4-Track Demos

Didn't include Let England Shake, though it sounds like it's going to make a run for Top 3. And it goes without saying, but the bottom ranked albums would still rank at the top of my Best Albums of All Time List, so it isn't, at all, a knock against them. Also, the order can change depending on my mood.

Very interesting to notice the variety of opinions. I think it comes to show how consistent her work has been throughout the years. You don't get completely opposite lists with too many artists.
