Josh Schurr has some year-end Joni news for us from New York City:
88.5 WXPN, a big East Coast radio station had a week long countdown that named the 885 Greatest Albums of All Time. Each album was voted in by the listeners, so we really get to see what the people think. Joni had 8 albums on the list. Here's the order she came in from the top down:

13 Blue
44 Court and Spark
88 Hejira
221 Ladies Of The Canyon
387 Miles Of Aisles
397 For The Roses
458 Hissing Of Summer Lawns
594 Clouds

Three albums in the top 100 out of 885 is pretty impressive, especially having Blue at #13 (although I thought it should have been #1). This countdown shows how listeners feel about Joni. All in all, I think it was a fairly good order, except For the Roses and Miles and Aisles deserve to be furthur up on the list.
