I don't worry about which might be better and just enjoy them anyway.
Joni is a favourite of mine.

Are we forgetting Court and Spark - a sort of transition from the folky style to the jazzy stuff that followed. For me Joni is the best female artist ever :)
'The Hissing of Summer Lawns', is IMO, her weakest album and one I rarely play.
Agree with you about Joni. She's not the best female singer, but she is definitely a veritable tour de force!
Court and Spark is amazing. I'm especially amazed to learn that it's the greatest commercial success of her career. Something so playful, so fresh, so daring, so experimental, so 'out there', so inventive and innovative, managed to top the charts? Those were some incredible time!
