Since her debut in the early '90s, PJ Harvey was immediately revered by alt fans and critics alike, thanks to her ferocious blend of the noisy indie rock of the Pixies and the gritty blues of Howlin' Wolf. She's actually been inspired by a wide range of music, including the work of musicians like Tom Waits and Kate Bush and spanning genres like post-punk, trip-hop, folk, and post-rock.
