Discussion: Women Who Rock Rate: Björk, PJ, and Liz

WOMEN WHO ROCK RATE

STARRING: POLLY, BJÖRK, AND ELIZABETH

Known for distinctive vocals, genre-bending productions, lyrics that tell of life, love, sex, anguish, and desire, and album covers lacking color, PJ Harvey's Rid of Me, Liz Phair's Exile In Guyville, and Björk's Debut (all released within a few months of each other in 1993) are each landmarks in alternative/indie music. We at ATRL will be sending these girls into combat to see which one comes out on top.

Rules:

1. Rate each track from 0 (being awful) to 10 (being amazing).
2. Submissions are due Saturday, January 18, 2014.
3. Do NOT send halfway completed rates. I will disregard them.
4. If you aren't familiar with the songs, use the links provided so that you don't rate a demo/remix of any of the songs.
5. NO TROLLING!!!
6. Happy listening!!!

You've got this all wrong, Pete Tong.

I love all of these albums, but if the top ten isn't ten tracks from Exile, this rate is ****ed. Cheerio!

ShantiAshtangi

Will do ensuring that Bjork amazing debut album wins.

Stevie

Well if there's going to be these Bjork and Liz fans then I guess I'll have to be rooting for Polly Jean.

Question, re: Big Time Sensuality - are we rating the album version, or the much superior Fluke single remix?

We're rating the MUCH superior ALBUM version.

But on second thought, I think I'll add the MV version to give Bjork an extra song.
