Polly's Finest Hour

[Pieface]

To Bring You My Love has never lost its power, has it? It's her voodoo working

yep probably my favourite album too

 

[sojourner]

Stories is fantastic, but To Bring You My Love is the album I bought after seeing her perform songs off it at glastonbury on the telly - I was hooked, mesmerised. This tiny skinny witch in pink who crouched down at the edge of the stage whispering the end to Down by the Water, and you could have heard a fucking pin drop. Gives me shivers just thinking about it

 

[Sunspots]

My favourite ever PJ song is My Beautiful Leah (-from Is This Desire?). So dark, so beautiful.

I've voted for Stories... though. Very polished, and with an obvious nod to Patti Smith, but it's release coincided with particular events in my life and lyrically/emotionally it just floored me. This Is Love is so fucking sexy.

When Dry came out my mate had a CD with Dry and the acoustic ones on (assume this is Demonstration) might be worth a few bob now.

I used to have that. Lost it a long time ago.


The version of "Oh My Lover" on that was fantastic.

 

[killer b]

rid of me. 'cos it's ace... i don't own 'to bring you my love' though, so i may have to pick it up..

 

[pootle]

Another vote for To Bring You My Love but Stories...would be a close second.

 

[Macabre]

I refuse to vote.

 

[Pie 1]

Stories. Without a moments hesitation.

Same.

Some of those songs are so soaringly beautiful they can still move me to tears at the wrong/right moment.

 

[The Groke]

I am wondering if Polly would be another one of those rare (almost) unanimous "not crap"s on Urban, should the poll be cast.....

In fact I am sure it must have been done..

 

[Pieface]

I don't think it has because it doesn't need to be

 

[Pieface]

That makes no sense at all does it? /\/\/\

 

[The Groke]

I don't think it does because it doesn't need to.

 

[Pieface]

innit!

 

[May Kasahara]

I refuse to vote.

Likewise. With a musical history as rich and varied as PJ's, it becomes a bit pointless trying to rank all the different sounds above or below each other. IMO.

 

[Voley]

Fairly neck and neck between Stories... and To Bring You My Love right now ... surprises me, that.

 

[Dubversion]

Fairly neck and neck between Stories... and To Bring You My Love right now ... surprises me, that.

yeh, cos TBYML should be streets ahead by now

 

[foo]

another one for To Bring You My Love

i adore it.

 

[Cheesypoof]

To bring you my love - i will never forget seeing her at glastonbury 2004, wailing like a banshee in her lipstick pink stillettos. My old thread on it is on urban somewhere.

To bring you my love, that actual song is also my fav one. Come on Billy is my fav PJ video.

 

[stavros]

I've only actually got "....Desire" and "Stories....", so my vote isn't that valued, but "Stories...." is an absolute masterpiece.

 

[Dr. Furface]

Is she still with Vincent Gallo?
