Sorry to say, I never could get into her/your "Return to mainstream" period and seldom play those albums, even though I know some people love them.

I would have a hard time justifying BTR as an ender, simplybecause the hat trick of BTR, Darkness, and The River are so tightly woundtogether. But there's no right or wrong answers, just something fun todiscuss. In terms of Joni, I group her periodsas: 1968 - 1974 STAS - MOA: Singer - Songwriterperiod (and you could argue that this one should split given the dramaticchanges from STAS to C&S) 1975 - 1980 HOSL - SAL: Experimentaland jazz 1981 - 1990 WTRF - CMIARS: Return tothe mainstream 1991 - 2008 NRH - Shine: Return to herown muse Thoughts?
