Any album recommendations to start me off on my slippery slope of discovery?

My neighbour used to play drums in her band!
Did she mind?

I’ve got to 46 and somehow this intriguing musician has largely escaped my attention.
Blimey.
I’ve been a massive fan since her first single (Dress) came out in 1991 and I still think she sounds fresh and exciting. Pretty much everything she has ever done has been awesome, but her early stuff still has a special place in my heart. 50ft Queenie still makes me smile every time I hear it. She was like an English feminist answer to Nirvana in those days, raw and furious, but also incredibly talented as a songwriter. She has refined and developed her writing over the years to become perhaps more “interesting”, and more broadly political, but it’s the visceral edge of her early stuff that I like best.

Loving it. Still don’t know how she slipped through the net.
I really appreciate your ideas upthread. What’s her crack? Political, folky, arty? I know nothing about her.

Just cut the lawn to: To Bring You My Love and Let England Shake. Her albums are good value over on iTunes.

She's a Yeovil lass. I'm sure being born & brought up there would give anyone a different perspective.

Steve Lamacq is currently playing the whole of PJ Harvey's Let England Shake for his Album Club feature on 6music.

I've never bought/played an album, but I admit her stuff has appeal ... I've always adored the "big fish little fish" song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbq4G1TjKYg
EDIT: like a gold button shining in the dirt, sometimes Youtube has amazing comments threads (usually a good indication of some worthwhile content). Here's the top-rated:
The Vicious Chicken of Bristol - 5 years ago
My favourite song about drowning children.
