Prog-rock is for me a subcategory of rock and the examples above do not sound very 'rock' to me. More like experimental-pop or experimental-avantgarde similar to Laurie Anderson.

^ Yeah, I'm still hesitating.
There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

I believe decision on Bjork's addition will be done not because someone likes her or hates her, but when Crossover team will make their competent evaluation.As I can see their decision is almost made, so let wait a bit and we will see

I personally really like some her works (what doesn't mean she is a prog artist), and absolutely prefer her best albums to some old-fashioned stereotype real classic (mellow) prog albums.

Or Experiemental? Actually even if some proggys don't like Bjork she is a bit progressive, really enough to be part of PA. There's band I hate too on PA and that I think they don't deserve a place in here but there's always someone to show me why they're here and I simply understand. I don't really like Bjork but she still deserve a place in here.

Bjork is experimental and progressive, but her style is definitely not symphonic prog, krautrock, RIO, or any prog sub-genre that's covered here.

I was surprised that I could not find her on this site. I enjoy Bjork from time to time and really haven't considered her anything but progressive. Is it because it's a heavy dose of electronic music? Maybe I should suggest her. Really good voice and interesting arrangements. View Post

I am certainly not an expert on Bjork, but her album Medulla is one of the most progressive pieces of music put in major production during the 2000's. It seems a shame not to have it on the site. http://www.tunetribe.com/product/index.html?id=2885 I've found no full samples but this site includes 30 second snippets. View Post

I'd like to introduce those who don't know to a freaky, certainly progressive album by Bjork, Medulla. A capella madness - it deserves to be here IMO, but if not, just appreciate.

Bjork has made some downright wacky music, most of which is pretty damn impressive. Medulla is probably my favorite with Vespertine and Homogenic close behind.

Opinions? Favorite album? ....would you tap? (jk)

One of the most unique artists that is producing music nowadays, which combines in her music a wide texture of musical genres: from Jazz to Techno to Classical Music. Her voice and the extraordinary singing style is a trademark of Bjork's career. But even when we look further than the known artists that Bjork have worked with, if it's in the music, the videos or the plastic art, she still keeps a warm space for young artists to express themselves within her music. And also she maintains... View Post

Can't abide the little manga witch Dead but putting my hearty loathing to one side, some of her stuff is pretty adventurous and experimental.....

I actually loved the Sugar Cubes strangely enough

I only brought Tori Amos up as a throw away comment. I wasn't actually comparing them. You can stop now.

With my big love to Diamanda's music and some interest to Bjork's ( and no interest to Tory Amos and other pop music around), I can hardly agree Bjork and Diamanda have much in common.

Do I think Bjork is a Prog artist? No.  Do I think she has music/ albums that has merits for inclusion in the Crossover Prog category? Absolutely.

If that fails, I think she's meritorious of serious consideration for Prog-Related.  I don't think her quirky Art Pop music would be out of place in PA.

Medulla is an obvious album to consider, but I would also consider Homogenic Live (don't have Vespertine Live).

Just cause I really like this:



No vote in the poll.

Bjork is under evaluation already as much as I know

(and for sure she's more progressive than Tory Amos)

I thought she might be as someone seems to suggest adding her every few months.


I think she's more progressive than Tori Amos myself.  That siad, since Tori  Amos is in Crossover, perhaps because Bjork has performed with Amos, that could help with a case for Bjork in Prog Related. ;)
