Can someone recommend a few Joni Michell albums?


Can someone recommend me a few Joni Michell album to get? Since she has made so many albums in the past it seems impossible from where to start? Even a few words regarding the recommended albums are most welcome.... your help is most appreciated. Thank you.

All of the above recommendations are good ones and do not miss the little known 'Ladies of the Canyon', it is very mellow and a little jazzy, it is one of my favorites (even though I agree all the others mentioned are great too).
"Blue" and "Court And Spark" are probably her two most critically acclaimed and both are indicative of her general "style". They're both a great place to start. If you don't like those, you may not care for her more experimental stuff.
