Logan's Run: 1st Album

The second run of Logan's favourites is coming up tomorrow - which also includes five of my favourites too - although I haven't yet decided who P.J Harvey is going to replace in the next poll.

That would have been a tragedy from my perspective as big as carousel is a lie and there is no sanctuary. It's her only "solo" album, it is, I think, terrific and it would be sad to exclude a 2024 album as we approach the end of 2024. And she's got some pretty stiff competition from some other names in this list for 2024. Also from this year, I love Julia Holter's Something in the Room She Moves, St. Vincent's All Born Screaming (she performed here in Vancouver not that long ago), and Chelsea Wolfe's She Reaches Out to She Reaches Out to She is very fine album too.

Harvey to the next poll, but that would mean dropping someone from this poll to make way for her in the second album poll.

I strongly would suggest specifying that with albums if skipping them. Segundo is even in the name as second, so even that might confuse people. So easy to make a note in the OP (to me that is more useful to know than having the youtube links and ratings). I would have skipped the first and added it to the second poll, with a note mentioning who you excluded the debut. That makes more sense to me.

PJ Harvey is a big name, so I would want her in the list if making it, but you could wait until, however third album, To Bring You My Love (wonderful album imo), which is huge and Beth Gibbons only has two albums. Don't you dare not consider having Lives Outgrown (Gibbons second, from this year, still my album of the year). I really like Obel and Olsen, but as they are fairly little know, I would consider removing one of them for now, can add albums later. But of course it's your poll, and I'm happy to see lesser known names I like getting exposure from more than me.

But these are great: Linda Perhacs - Parallelograms Kate Bush - The Kick Inside Joni Mitchell - Song to a Seagull Tori Amos - Little Earthquakes Beth Gibbons & Rustin Man - Out of Season Voted for Linda
