although not quite my style, she's absolutely unique!

:puke:

Yes, she's original - Yes, she has a unique voice - Yes, I can see the art there - Still, it's like work listening to her. Not my favorite....

Only slightly less painful to endure than a kidney stone.

I can't help myself listening to her. She has the most unique vocal style out there. Completely bizarre, but likeable.

Aw, heck, I can't explain it, I just like her.

Not my favorite track off Vespertine, but still worthy of a 9!

oof, I LOVE Björk!!!

A listening chore.

Bird York ---> Bjork (lol), fits well though.

I would really like to find some Tappi Tikarrass (her 2nd band after Exodus), it's early 80s avant-punk kind of music, eerie and beautiful, but more energized than her solo stuff tends to be.

Like most of what Bjork does. Interesting, different. What makes it worthy of RP

Please, please...I beg you...make it stop!!! The dogs just went howling out of the room. The bird just dropped dead in its cage. The cat is coughing up hairballs, just to stuff them in her ears.

Funny that this follows Bird York. When Bill announced the Bird York song, I thought he said "beeyork"

FYI, this song rocks the docks.

She is

just

so

great.

I still love this song after first hearing it here on RP 3.5 years ago.

I LOVE Björk. I think her lyrics are interesting and poetic. I think her music is original and stunning. I think her voice is artistic and expressive. Her weirdness makes her even cooler. I have many of her albums. Each one has its own style and character.

On an almost completely unrelated note, shouldn't the plural of album actually be alba? Then again, we do speak English and not Latin...

I do not like this Bjork. The music is not pleasing and her voice is horrible. :puke:

What's that guy's problem, posting two in a row. And in large type too...

Have a few Bjork albums, read a good piece about her in the New Yorker a couple months back. Bjork is basically weird but cool. But sometimes she 'gets up my hole', to use the vernacular of my hometown.

I'm glad she makes the music she does, but I'm not always in the mood for it. For her critics here, I'd suggest giving her a chance. Small bites though, like I tell my three year old.

:nodhead: That's why we listen to RP, right?. It's like eating your veggies: even if you don't like the taste sometimes - it's good for you!

Or as they say in Iceland (the country, not the frozen food shop, obviously)
Það er að gera mig brjálaðan! Hættu þessu!

It's driving me nuts! Cut it out!

Let's see. The last 3 have been:
Bird York, then Bjork
Now
Sting....what's next? Stying? :-s

that's classy, bill!
going from a band called "Bird York" to "Björk"...

...........And, teeth grinding begins.....................NNNNnnnnnnnnow!
