Anyone who questions her artist credibility should listen to the Vespertine. Glitchy goodness. I believe Matmos had something to do it.
A candidate for crossover I think.

Seeing as how you've probably never heard a full Björk album, you're awfully quick to judge her entire output & any fans she might have on this website. How very constructive... To be honest, this tells a lot more about you than it does about Björk. I have no problem about you not liking Björk, but how about placing your words in a more polite manner next time?

Yeah ok.

I've got no problem in having my proposal rejected (in fact, this is only a proposal and a point of view). I've got absolutely no problem in assuming that Bjork may be deeply disliked by anybody. But you end up by being offensive and, for you as a person, this is really a problem.
There's always time for getting better.

Sorry I wasn't trying to indirectly insult you, I was targeting the music critics and magazines, I respect your choice and I apologise if I've offended you that wasn't my intention.

I love Isobel! And some other tunes, like Joga and Bachelorette, and Visur Vatnsenda Rosu, what she did with Hector Zazou.
Prog-related? Her music, however eclectic and innovative, is still very much song-based. No prog in the strict sense of the word, but prog related is such a wide category that there must be a place for Bjork. For me she was the most important innovative artist of the '90's. She hasn't lost her sense for musical sense for adventure, BTW.

Well she is pretty "Out There", Wherever that may be. She sure as as heck doesn't fall into conventional pop territory. I'm not saying she's prog though, That's for the experts to determine.

Wasn't she the lady that showed up at some music award show wearing a swan dress including the head. I don't believe tha I have ever heard anything that she has ever done but stuff like that kind of creeps me out.
