Why don't Sugarcubes tracks count among the regular Bjork tracks? Not challenging your rules, just wondering.
Also, Bjork stole my shirt.

I fear that my own ballot will be almost exclusively pulled from two albums from the 90s, though my #1 might actually be something far more current.
― Dangleballs and the Ballerina (cryptosicko), Monday, 9 April 2018 17:23 (five years ago) link
excited to dive back into her catalogue and to give proper attention to stuff that's eluded me (mostly Medulla, the one that was an app, and the Debut, somehow)
― stormzy daniels (voodoo chili), Monday, 9 April 2018 17:24 (five years ago) link
Play dead is essential from the debut. Not sure why it’s left off some editions
― Droni Mitchell (Ross), Monday, 9 April 2018 17:28 (five years ago) link
It will def be a struggle for me not to include every last track from one specific '90s album, but I think I'll manage.
― Uppercase (Eric H.), Monday, 9 April 2018 17:34 (five years ago) link
super excited for this, her first four albums are all classic.
Play Dead was a bonus track on reissues of Debut, it was originally recorded for The Young Americans soundtrack. it is completely essential though yeah

― the masseduction of lauryn hill (Stevie D(eux)), Monday, 9 April 2018 20:41 (five years ago) link
Wait
Only three albums?
So it's like Homogenic by a country mile, Post somewhere behind that, and then the only suspense is whether Vespertine or Debut makes #3, and zero votes for everything else?
Not speaking ill of the rest of her catalogue
But I think consensus on Björk's "finest albums" is such that you might open up the ballot to five albums, or up to ten or something

I'm sure I could find 30 Björk songs to put in front of Hyperballad. Post is also one of my least favorite albums in her career (and yet it's still rather good).Anyway I missed this poll so I won't have to lose mental energy over ranking her songs.Some that would feature in my ballot would definitely include: Human Behaviour, Venus as a Boy, The Anchor Song, Army of Me, Isobel, Joga, Unravel, All Neon Like, Immature, All is Full of Love (single), Hidden Place, Cocoon, It's not Up to You, Undo, Pagan Poetry, Sun in my mouth, Heirloom, Unison, Vokuro, Who is it, Desired Constellation, Ancestors, Mouth's Cradle, Triumph of the Heart, Earth Intruders, I see who you are, Vertebrae by Vertebrae, Not Get, Atom Dance, Utopia. + Play Dead, A Generous Palmstroke (live with the harpist), Charlene. And to nominate one remix: Crystalline by Current value.Well, I think it's already over 30. I think at the moment my official favoritest Björk song is still Hidden Place.
― Nabozo, Friday, 4 May 2018 08:24 (five years ago) link
and if the poll organizer wants to include my late unranked ballot (I know ilm is nice like that sometimes), I substract The Anchor Song, Army of Me and Unison back to make it 30 exactly (not counting the current value remix either).
― Nabozo, Friday, 4 May 2018 08:30 (five years ago) link
and since I'm at it: 1) Homogenic 2) Vespertine 3) Medulla 4) Debut 5) Volta (6) Vulnicura 7) Post 8) Utopia 9) Biophilia)
― Nabozo, Friday, 4 May 2018 08:33 (five years ago) link
and to make it 4, I've gone through the thread and haven't seen the remix I mentioned, and maybe it's not too known, crank it up because it slayshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruIj7glvxwA(to pair with that beat-drop facebook video... what was that btw)

― challops trap house (Will M.), Friday, 4 May 2018 19:25 (five years ago) link
Waiting for the poll results and listening to a tracks that never really stuck with me. And coming across "Foot Soldier," I'm thinking that's one of the first examples of a Bjork track that vocally is entirely made up of the the "auto-Bjork-isms" phenomenon that mars a lot of her later work. No meter, no rhyme, mostly stock melodic phrasings (swooping from a low to higher note repeatedly), etc. It's weird, because the b-sides of that era are otherwise some of her more melodically compelling work (i.e. "Generous Palmstroke," "Domestica," etc.)?
