I only know Bubblegum album, which I got by eBay some years ago as part of my PJ collection. The complete album is great. I've been interested in knowing more about his music, let's try Field Songs.

I've just listened to 'Come to Me' for the first time in a long time. I had forgotten how lovely it was. I have the albums 'Bubblegum' and 'I'll Take Care of You'. Thanks Skinned, for Field Songs recommendation.

'Creeping Coastline of Lights' from the 'I'll Take Care of You' album is wonderful:

Yep, Mark's work with QoTSA is great, plus the Screaming Trees are worth checking out aswell.

Been meaning to buy some of his solo stuff as well. So Bubblegum and Field Songs are recommended?

Well I wouldn't say he was a member more of a collaborator. He done vocals on a few songs for Songs For The Deaf, Rated R and Lullabies, not so sure on Era Vulgaris. Plus he toured with them between R and Lullabies.

absolutely Bubblegum, which is so great, check out methamphetamine blues and head. They´re the best songs from the album I think.

I would also recommend the albums I`ll take care of you and Here comes that weird chill again :)

Bumping OLD thread here.

This is rarely heard, PJ sings with Lanegan on the track "Come to Me" from Lanegan's 2004 Bubblegum album:

Bubblegum is an amazing album. For me (being a big fan of QOTSA) Polly's collaboration on that and Desert Sessions 9&10 was a dream come true.

Lanegan's recent albums with Isobel Campbell are pretty good too, though not quite as great as Bubblegum. And Mark's collaboration with Greg Dulli (Afghan Wigs) as The Gutter Twins has it's moments allthough I really can't stand Dulli's singing...
