Something More Than Blue: The Joni Mitchell Thread

I meant to come back and post this here a couple of weeks ago but forgot until now...

Joni Mitchell's Albums Ranked from Worst to Best │ Exclaim!

Her catalogue tends to be synonymous with just one classic LP — but the entire discography is nearly flawless

An interesting read. I disagree with the rankings and some of the opinions expressed but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It’s like trying to rank the Beatles. When every album in your catalog is so good why bother putting them up against each other? Every listener out there is bound to have their own opinion that relates to their experience with the music.

Agree it's a fun read, AND was taken aback from the outset by the idea the word 'worst' could appear in a headline about Joni Mitchell's albums! Was glad to see that by the second paragraph, that had been tamed to 'worst(ish)'.
