In stark contrast to @Indymisanthrope ’s assertion that we only post lists of REM and U2 albums, I hereby challenge @Joe Mac to rank our Icelandic queen’s catalog!

I’m on it in about 4 hours when I’m at home on my sofa with a cup of tea! I know what my number 1 is though and it’s not that surprising haha!

Let’s start with a bang, then: Debut is my favorite.

[bettim84]

Post is my favorite.

Tbh, Post is the one I reach for most often. Debut is just the personal favorite because it was the first one I heard. My father and I randomly watched her unplugged show on MTV way back when, and we've been fans ever since. I've only seen her live once (a 2007 festival in Toronto) and it was the best, most-intense concert experience of my life.

(Yes, it involved A LOT of crying.)

 

[Joe Mac]

My favourite is neither post nor debut and it’s also the one I reach for most...

Very interesting. Our lists are quite different.

 

[Nee Lewman]

I think? I’m gonna run through the discography before I post an official ranking.

I think she’s diverse enough with a deep enough catalogue that different people can take totally different things from her catalogue. My number one is pretty cut and dried for me but between 2 and 5 there’s very little in it tbh.

 

[BoilerRhapsody]

Only got into Björk this year because of Kali Uchis:



I'd tried a few of her albums and The Sugarcubes too, but it never took. But then the Kali Uchis cover made something click really hard and I've been obsessed since. My full list would take a bit of thought, but I know that Vespertine is at the top

Close to my list. I might put Post above Vespertine and then I don't really know as I've listened to them all but not a lot grabbed me after that. Definitely Homogenic as top pick though...

 

[imtheocean]

Homogenic is top of my list as well. I have a soft spot for Medulla as well - 'Who is It' is just an amazing track.

12. Drawing Restaint 9

1-3 are always the same and in that order. 9-12 too. All the rest... it may change, depending on my mood.

 

[BjorgenFjorgen]

I gotta ask: what is the deal with the inferior version of "All is Full of Love" on streaming services' version of Homogenic? That song is incredible but this version just totally castrates its power.

How can you be so correct on 1 and so so wrong on 10?

 

[Dirtbag Auntie]

I love them all. I cannot possibly rank them. She’s my #1 all time fave.

@jaycee! Welcome back! Long time no see! How are you doing?

Yeah my top 5 or 6 are definitely the ones I’ve listened to the most. I wasn’t as keen on the others the few times I’ve listened to them but maybe I need to given them a bit more time!
