Both Bon Iver's and PJ Harvey's albums are decent, but they're headphone music. Something to listen to if you're on a long drive, flight, etc., or if you like to sit in your room and smoke a lot of weed. They're albums you listen to if you want to do nothing else but just sit and listen to music. I'll occasionally throw on the PJ Harvey album when I'm on the bus, but other than that it doesn't get much playtime with me.
Also, that reminds me, up on my all-time people I can't stand list is the dude that puts on headphone music at his party. Nothing kills the mood faster than when you shut down songs that everyone knows to play something you feel is important for everyone to listen to.
