Polly Jean Harvey may be the female version of Iggy Pop and her rock n roll is a perfect blend of intellect and talent.
She was better known for a song in the mid 90's "Down by the Water."
https://youtu.be/lbq4G1TjKYgbuzz clipped on MTV and hailed as "strange" by a lot of critics but no one could ever discount her talent. She could have been hailed the first Lady Gaga by that make up in the Down by the Water video but she no longer does that drag queen make up job.
She has toured with U2 and REM. She writes in your face Music and is known for her guitar screeching and liquid voice.
Most recently she has a series of little movies for her album "Let England Shake" by Seamus Murphy
