In honour of P J Harvey’s second Mercury Music Awards win we’ve put together our 5 favourite P J Harvey songs. Even the Friday whale has got in on the act and fashioned herself a feather headdress to match Harvey’s.



1.       Rid of Me (4 Track Demos EP) With this song P J Harvey gave us the gift of “Lick my legs” as our favourite ohrwurm.  

2.       50 Foot Queenie (Rid of Me EP) This is my favourite version of this track, I love the energetic drumming and the rough production. Or maybe it just appeals because I am short. 

3.        Long Snake Moan (To Bring You My Love 1995) From the album P J Harvey shed her hairy legged angry feminist persona with red lips and green eye shadow up to her brows. As a child this is how I thought I would do my make up every day. And I wasn’t far wrong. 

4.       The Last Living Rose (Let England Shake, 2011) It was a toss-up between this and Let England Shake from the album of the same title, but this has the lyrics ‘Goddamn Europeans’ so it wins. 

5.       Joe (Dry, 1992) I know it should be Sheela-na-gig or Dress (I hope no-one’s noticed I’ve actually snuck 8 tracks into the Friday 5) picked from Dry but Joe is a great song, turn it up, it’s worth bursting your eardrums for. 

If you think we’ve grossly misrepresented P J Harvey here with our choices leave your 5 or just your favourite song in the comments.

'Oh my lover' is one of the sexiest songs ever written, in my opinion
