big fan so that was hard... picked Yoga in the end but so many amazing tracks in there, especially in the Homogenic era, love Bachelorette too, and album tracks like Unravel... |

I haven't even heard of the majority of these. I went for Human Behaviour.

Very disappointed someone went for the obvious It's Oh So Quiet!! If you listen to all the others, you will hear that this track is totally unrepresentative of what her music is really about. Unfortunately, it is the one most people know.
For me, Bachelorette is blissful with those string builds, same with Joga, but the way Hyperballad introduces the kick drum and turns into a monster of a dance anthem is another highpoint.

It's Oh So Quiet. I've heard probably all of the rest, and do like them, but none stand out as much as IOSQ.

Venus As A Boy.
For me she never beat her Debut album; mind you the favourite single she appeared on will forever remain the Sugarcubes' Birthday.

All is Full of Love and Hyperballad are both genius!

I always saw that as a novelty song, not a classic of hers by any stretch of the imagination.

I always saw that as a novelty song, not a classic of hers by any stretch of the imagination. Depends on your outlook I suppose. It was a huge song while I was growing up, so it's an all-time classic in general in my book. |

Yes 'It's Oh So Quiet' is very much a novelty track for her, if you listen to all her others and the kind of stuff she was putting out round the Vespertine era. Obviously all subjective, but the fact that the fans and Bjork voted to leave it off her Greatest Hits is very telling:)

I vote for 'It's Oh So Quiet' !
I also like 'Big Time Sensuality'. I don't know any others.

Definitely two camps on this one - some people obviously love the "big hit" while others value her more typical work.
Personally I'm surprised at the love for "Oh So Quiet" when there are so many more beautiful songs to choose from.

Definitely, though it's a shame people are voting only knowing like two of her tracks, because I suspect a lot of her best songs have not even been listened to by some of the voters:(

yes, for me It's Oh So Quiet almost doesn't count, it's a bit like saying the best Robbie song is Something Stupid... know what I mean

^I think you didn't get my point, cos I was meaning the opposite... that Quiet is not very representative of Bjork...
and for the record, Tori's Professional Widow Remix=worst song in the history of music.

Hhaha Professional Widow isnt that bad, but agreed, Its Oh So Quiet is totally not representative of her work. So many great and unique songs though.
