Just got into her recently and I'm hooked. Currently in the middle of listening to her entire discography, and I'm blown away by how raw and passionate her lyrics and vocals are.

She's the boss. The ridiculous variety and quality she's turned out in unison with each other for over 20 years is ridiculous. Where are you up to/what's your favourite so far?

Genius. She may be my choice for best female songwriter EVER. I've been a huge fan since high school. In fact, she was one of the artists I discovered through my Nirvana obsession during my teens because Cobain mentioned Polly Jean in an interview and used her Rid of Me producer Steve Albini for In Utero.
She has re-invented herself and reappeared with something brilliant so many times. Actually, I've adored everything she's done except for her last album, The Hope Six Demolition Project. I feel it was pretentious and misguided - and I hate to criticize this queen like that, but I was very disappointed. Every other album is fire though. Listen to Rid of Me if you want to vent, Stories From the City, Stories From the Sea if you want something more traditional, Is This Desire? if you want a laid-back vibe, and play To Bring You My Love if you want an almost religious listening experience.

She's brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
Some of the most intelligent lyrics and music in the rock genre.
Her work up until 'Stories' is all actually perfect and flawless.
After that album there's still a lot of amazing stuff, but I find myself not going back to those albums as much (though 'A Woman A Man Walked By' is some of her best). I agree with Carrie that 'Hope 6' was a bit unfocused and didn't feel as organic.

Never could get into her music. I'll have to try again sometime.

I think she's really good. I haven't really heard enough of her music yet, having only really listened to Let England Shake and The Hope Six Demolition Project. Saw her live last summer and it was great.
