Not sure I could do a comprehensive ranking like you did, well played

But if I did I'd have to include her solo tunes from Love This Giant

Lightning, Ice Age & Optimist are all among my favorites ever by her

This could be because of how awesome they were live

I saw 2 LTG tour shows & they were as good or better than any regular St Vincent shows I'd seen before or the one I've seen since

I didn't include them because this thread tends to not like that. But I'll happily do another ranking with those songs included. I fucking love errything on LTG.

"I always looked at any instrument as just a tool, an expressive voice to write with. It even differs from guitar to guitar. Some guitars demand that you play them delicately and really respect the instrument, and some beg to be abused. Same with piano. I know with guitar, I’m intimate with it enough to know when I put my fingers here, it will sound like this. I prefer writing on piano because it’s always a surprise." -- Annie Clark

Not to speculate needlessly, but it seems she's gotten a lot bonier around the cheeks over the years -- is that concerning?

Edit: nevermind, I just looked at the cover of "Marry Me." My mind was just playing tricks on me.

I think she looks perfectly healthy. I'm glad she got that bone protrusion from Love This Giant out of her face.
