For Joni Mitchell albums, she's picked her own compilations, too. Dreamland and Songs of A Prairie Girl. But the best is Travelogue, re-recordings of old songs with an orchestra. Sandy Cowan

I wonder if an album as adventurous as Hejira would be released today. In an era of pick'n'mix downloads, where would bands like The Go-Betweens, Talk Talk and Prefab Sprout be? I'm thankful that at least The Blue Nile and The Roots still exist. Pierre Robert

Pumpkin fever, part 1

Day 4 trapped inside my pumpkin. The smell is starting to send me ever so slightly mad. The world has become a vast ocean of orange and old wax from that candle I left in ait at Hallowe'en. mother stopped delivering food through my small window, once representing the left eye of Pumpkin Lumpkin, around three or four days ago. Or was that three or four hours ago? Pumpkin fever is making it hard to determine time.

What albums are Voiders looking forward to? Mine are Keane, Panic At The Disco and hopefully a new album from the reformed Finch. Anything new from 30 Seconds To Mars would round 2008 off. Jules Kirby

Weird bands on TV shows? I keep hearing songs by Little Spitfire on a US teen drama, Falcon Beach. They're great. They deserve the exposure. Rockin' Rob

Any Joni Mitchell album between 1970- 75 is a worthy acquisition. The quality of her output during that period is second only to van morrison's in the singer-songwriter stakes. Court & Spark in particular is a seamless, silken garment. Also, I recommend Townes Van Zandt. Oversomecognac

Best intro? It has to be the soothing acoustics on Battery by Metallica. It's not only a great start to a song, but an amazing start to an album, in this case, Master of Puppets. Flyin Frog

Court & Spark is Joni Mitchell's most "pop" album, although in Joniworld this means heavier jazz influences. That would lead to Summer Lawns. For The Roses is overlooked, but brilliant. Her first eight albums are all essential.

Rage Against The Machine are one of the legendary acts who made Reading Festival what it is. They've also headlined Coachella and Bug Day Out.

I thought Earls was harsh on Lenny Kravitz, saying that he had produced no redeeming songs throughout his career.

His first album is an 8/10, for Mr Cab Driver and Let Love Rule. His next two were more than passable, plus he wrote Justify My Love for Madonna and made an unlikely success of Vanessa Paradis's album. I would agree, though, that Kravitz has done nothing of worth since 1993. dj gordy

Earls: If we're lucky, we get promos in two months before an album is out and any 10/10 album needs to live with you for a year at least before being as perfect as it can be. A gig is instant.

I'm a Leona Lewis fan, but I'm not surprised to see her next single is in aid of Sport Relief. Spirit is a poor album, and simon cowell should be ashamed of the way he's handled Leona's career since X Factor. Tom Whitehead

NASA are beaming Across The Universe into space to mark the 40th anniversary of its recording? I could be wrong, but doesn't the Let It Be film say the song was recorded on February 4 1969, rather than 1968? Robert Willmott

How to use your newbie

mondo was absolutely right in the fact that I used a libe from Tod Browning's film, Freaks. We should have an initiation rite for newbies, something that will prove their worth. Either that or sometimes insanely dangerous. I'll just get the flesh eating demon squid out.

Princess psycho (on an old Pentium II as her laptop went wrong. God, it's slow)

Forced with the scorn of you lot or the squid, I know what I'd choose.

In response to the Voider asking about new albums, Glasvegas will be all hyoe and no substance, whenever it's released. But the one from Johnny Flynn And The Suss*x Wit will be phenomenal, if their show is judge. Sean O'Neill

After 31 years, The S*x Pistols' album still sells well. No band has released a better album since. Sid Vicious, RIP. K Card

Void: Er, Glen Matlock, anyone?
