[many a good man]

1. None none none of the above!!!

Just don't care for her, her music or her individualistic style.

[many a good man]

4. Sorry, that was not one of the options.

[Shell Beau]

5. Well, I guess I'll have to settle for "other"

:P

[Truebrit71sbruv]

2. Anybody that can sound like she's being squeezed through a mangle...

...backwards and STILL produce music that good HAS to be worth being both crazy about and monstrously in love with...

Unique, weird, uncanny and great...

[Okiojira]

3. Um, I like Bjork OK...

....haven't really listened to any of her stuff since "Post", though.

15. Her father was a famous union organizer

Björk's father, Guðmundur Gunnarsson, is a well known union leader in Iceland and was nationally recognized before his daughter became famous.


Björk usually goes by her first name only. This is not a stage name or affectation; it is normal for an Icelander to be referred to by his or her first name, as the last name simply indicates the name of the father (or occasionally the mother). See Icelandic naming conventions.

Björk means "a birch tree" in Icelandic (the meaning of Icelandic names is often transparent), cognate with Old English beorc and the modern English word. Though many English-speakers pronounce her name "Byork", a more accurate approximation would be "Byirk", which she has pointed out rhymes with "jerk". <22>

21. she sings just to try to stay warm,let's face it,and that's a bad habit,like

humming,no matter how well you do it it will soon wreck your mental health and then you're in a straitjacket,she should get one of those space heaters,they make good ones now that won't tip over and burn your face.

[TheBaldyMan]

16. other: I've always been a fan since she was in The Sugarcubes

she's got an incredible voice and always been pushing the envelope. I first heard her on one of the John Peel Show sessions and have been captivated by her eversince - no matter how barmy she is.

[many a good man]

18. Great jazz singer, too

Some really great bands backing her up lately.

[Deja Q]

17. GAAAAAAAAAH!

[many a good man]

20. Here's one for your fantasies....

I love that image. Now combine that image with her incredibly sensual voice and it's....:loveya: :loveya: .

[Monk06]

[RevolutionaryActs]

26. I remember the video for Human Behaviour kinda creeped me out

But I do like the song. :shrug:

[Odin2005]

28. She sure dosen't LOOK Icelandic!

She looks Saami :shrug:

[njdemocrat106]

29. Other: never cared for her

I guess I just can't get past her voice. She's one of those "overrated critical darlings" in my book.

[ILA]

30. Her music is beautiful.

My third favourite Icelandic artist (behind Sigur Rós and múm), which says something for the high standards of music in that country (that I've heard, anyway).

[NuttyFluffers]

31. a touch of sanity in a mad world

she's a bit like a reality anchor to me, just like a lot of the music and other stuff i enjoy. a little goes a long way to stave off the dementia of banality.

[Robeson]

32. I really don't think about her that much to vote in a poll. So I'm not going...

...to sway it one way or the other...:-)

[datasuspect]

33. i'd like to feel bjork

damn, she is awesome!
