Now Playing playlist built around the award winning PJ Harvey
By becoming the first person to win two Mercury Music Prizes, PJ Harvey is once again the toast of music across all media – not just online.
Let England Shake picked up the gong last night, a decade after Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea picked up the award.
So who better to honour in this week’s Now Playing than the darling of British music?!
Help us build a playlist around Polly Jean Harvey by picking:
• Tracks by PJ Harvey
• Collaborators
• Similar Artists
• Those who inspired her
• And people she has subsequently inspired
Let us know what you want to hear on our Facebook page, on Twitter, by e-mailing us, drag a track onto our collaborative Spotify playlist or leave a comment here.
And remember to tune into Now Playing @6Music on Friday night from 7pm with Tom Robinson.

How about 'Hardly Wait' or 'M-Bike', two tracks which only saw the light of day at gigs or as demos? Come to think of it, 'Uh Huh Her' is worth a shot too - why wasn't it on the titular album?

For me, anything from any of it, but in particular - to bring you my love - I can hardly wait or Naked Cousin!!
Well done Radio 6 - thanks for keeping a national creative treasure on the air waves...
