SUGARCUBES TRACKS

10. Eat the Menu -- 17 points; 2 votes

09. Water -- 20 points; 3 votes

(Not going to overwhelm the thread with YT links until we get to music videos, ftr.)

I didn't vote in the album poll (was a beyond-the-deadline voter), but Vespertine would've been my number 1. Post was 2 though, so I doubt it would've lead to a switch of those two.

Biggest surprise for is seeing Medúlla so high. Thought it'd place around 7th/8th, certainly not higher than Vulnicura and Biophilia!

08. Traitor -- 23 points; 3 votes

My albums vote

Homogenic
Vespertine
Vulnicura
Medúlla

Did not vote for Sugarcubes tracks as I only know three. But will check out whatever comes up.

True confession, I've never checked out the Sugarcubes stuff

search the bonkers string-section remix of "Deus" for sure

07. Walkabout -- 34 points; 5 votes

06. Motorcrash -- 37 points; 5 votes

TOO LOW :)

Oops, "Traitor" and "Eat the Menu" had 1 first-place vote each

05. Mama -- 38 points; 5 votes

04. Planet -- 39 points; 5 votes

03. Deus -- 29 points; 7 votes; 1 first-place vote

birthday is so brilliant, one of the best-ever basslines

(change "x" to "t" in link)

("Deus" remix version)

looks like utopia is unpopular but I think it's my fav thing she's done since vespertine, glistening and supple and fresh. vulnicura otoh i haven't been able to get into at all

10. Isobel (1995) -- 33 points; 4 votes; 1 first-place vote

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=htobTBlCvUU

10. It's Oh So Quiet (1995) -- 33 points; 4 votes (tie)

And Bjork seriously needs to improve the quality of her videos on YouTube. 360p? It's 2018.

Damn. Fast moving poll is moving fast.

I'll be stretching the 60 tracks across 4 days, so it'll slow down considerably soon enough.

ty be still my beating heart

It's Oh So Quiet is one of those videso that really adds to my appreciation of the song

yowza i missed a bunch

kinda surprised vespertine almost caught homogenic! esp considering everyone assumed a homo-post-debut finish? or at least someone did in the other thread and i just assumed they'd be right because it was the first prediction i read?

i was out on sugarcubes and i didn't think the remixes thru too well but i am looking fwd to listening to both of those lists!

v excited for these music videos, idk if there is an artist with more good vids than bjork, gonna say no

and i don't even like gondry videos that much!

09. Wanderlust (2008) -- 34 points; 4 votes; 1 first-place vote

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJRiBDMfrTU

I just watched the Greatest Hits DVD for the first time last night and the "It's Oh So Quiet" video looks like washed-out shit and was almost definitely transferred from a VHS tape. But all the other videos look p good so far and I am p sure the rip on the Spike Jonze Director's Label DVD looks great so idk what gives

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqF8_UcUQdQ

08. Pagan Poetry (2001) -- 35 points; 4 votes; 2 first-place votes

i thought i'd never want to hear her voice ever again but i listened to Black Lake because of this poll and I liked it. i still don't want to hear her singing ever again though.

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAH omg you guys Mark Bell made a fucking Miami Bass remix of "Bachelorette" I am SCREAMING!!

Debut turns 25 today.

listening to "come to me" with the most respect

Been listening again to this ranking and I love this poll’s results.

Aww, me too.

Funny, I was listening to this as well yesterday.

I found myself here just the other day because I had "Scary" swimming around inside my head and wondered whether it got an appropriate amount of love here. (It was on a few ballots, at least!)

TTL has all the old Bjork vinyls in stock, FYI
