YEa, my first Joni Album was Turbulent Indigo, and I had NO exposure to
her music at all. I found the album remarkable, i loved every song on it. I
also adored the sound of her vocals and the musical landscape that sounded
very fresh to all the Alternative music that was playing on the radio..back
in 1996. But, my SECond album was DED which I admired just as much. It
Definitely was a more synthetic 80's sound, and being a child of the 80's i
was more welcome to that sound. The albums that took me longest to get into
were Songs from a Seagull, Clouds, FTR, and WTRF..
