Bjork Appreciation

[NSGUITAR]

Yes.


One of my favorite musicians of all time. I'll go through a phase of listening to metal and then I'll hear a Bjork song and then think "Man... This is perfect"..


Anybody else have a thing for Bjork?

Shane (Kazrog) got me into Bjork back a while ago. When I first heard it I was like "what the fuck is this", but it definitely grows on you. It's like the first time I heard Steve Vai's Sex & Religion album, I hated it, but now I absolutely love it! The songwriting and production on her albums is incredible.

Edit: Btw, she's so damn hot on her cover for Medulla. ^_^

Amazing song...



Also, I absolutely love Peter Tagtgren's cover of Bjork's "Play Dead" off of PAIN's "Psalms of Extinction" album. Too bad I can't find a video or song link for those not familiar w/ it. Amazing cover.

Edit: Nevermind, I found it! It's an AMV, but still has the song!

Add me to the Bjork love feast.

Awesome music and some great videos.







I can't remember the name of the song where she is naked and pierced up in the video. That's a cool vid too.

Referring to the first video you posted (her "Cacoon" music video)...
I love seeing nipples in youtube videos.

She is a real artist. ALways felt like she cried her heart out. And the arrangements are just awesome

I completely agree!

My GF's a huge fan of her...she's really an artist and passionate and everything, but it's not my kind of stuff...at least until now it never got me, maybe it takes some time


that song is awesome

this,
i like the music, but her voice is not my cup of tea somehow,

although its quite a characteristic element which adds to her character i'm really annoyed by her accent
even if i probably have an awful german accent myself

The only thing that I think when I hear her music is, "What. The. Fuck."

I've never been able to listen to her music...

Bjork legitimately fucking terrifies me.

Maybe it's all the Chris Morris I've watched.

Same here bro...

 

[jipchen]

Can't stand her music. I saw her first in "Dancer in the dark", thought the film was pretty cool and then listened to some of her songs.
+1 to WTF

I thought this was a Bjork appreciation thread. I like how everyone who doesn't like her is chiming in.

 

[BrettT]

Love pretty much everything she's done. Brilliant artist, IMO. Homogenic is prob my favorite album of hers.

Oh come on now! How can this cute ball be scary?

 

[Terminus]

And she likes metal. What more could you ask for in a chick?

Carcass likes her:



yaaaaay

 

[Terminus]

What's better than one Bjork?

2 Bjorks getting it on!!!

Anytime I see her I think of miss swan from mad tv....He look-a like-a man

Björk has made some of my favorite albums ever, especially Post. A friend of mine played me that record one night at my house and I was immediately hooked. I subsequently bought her whole discography as well as live DVDs, etc. She's an amazing vocalist, songwriter and producer / sound designer as well. She's almost like the female Devin Townsend in a way.

I will say though, I haven't been that into her last couple of albums, aside from a couple of tracks. It almost seems like she's trying too hard to be weird and not focusing enough on good songs anymore, but I always check out anything new she releases (because it's guaranteed to be different than anything she's done before.) Still, I think 1990s Björk is where it's at.

So if you're looking to get into Björk, I'd start with Post and Homogenic, both of which are fucking amazing, and need to be experienced as albums.
