When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light. Through the skies, his white horse flies. To find a land beyond the night. |

Although there are some Bjorktacular moments, I'd prefer Toricide. More consistent, less esoteric. Sometimes Bjork seems to prefer to be weird for weirdness' sake, and it sounds forced.

Nice to read those quotes, thanks for sharing! My vote goes to Björk BTW.

If you can't hear the magic in these, then Bjork's not for you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKufCp8NnMk, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgBbJKiRxmc, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxBO28j3vug, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CSiU0j_lFA It also didn't hurt that she worked with some of the best electronic/dance producers in London (Nellee Hooper, Marius de Vries, Howie B, Matmos, Tricky, Goldie, Plaid, 808 State, LFO, Talvin Singh), or that her music videos were often directed by the greatest video directors of their generation, people like Michel Gondry, Chris Cunningham, Spike Jonze, Stéphane Sednaoui. All these people did among their best work with Bjork. [See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bj%C3%B6rk_discography#Music_videos]

Both have made a few good songs IMO but I suppose Tori Amos just about gets it for me

I´ve never been able to appreciate Bjørk´s hysteric out of tune singing. I much prefer the girly and often rather vulgar delivery of Tori Amos. At times she sounds a bit too much like Kate Bush (how could this ever be a problem :-)), but she writes some pretty intriguing music, so she´s forgiven.

I thought Bjork was Asian before I knew anything about her. I go with her. Tori is a bit much for me. It's the musical equivalent of really overpowering perfume.

Bjork for me. So much more musically interesting than Amos IMHO. I will say that I haven't been too impressed with Bjork's last couple of albums, but Volta does have some interesting moments. I found Biophilia a bore.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Yes and no. Her vocal style is completely different, pretty 'normal' kind of delivery. But there are some chords of Tori's that sound like Kate Bush. The song Moving sounds to me like something Tori would go on to do, only Moving is much more interesting. Voted for Bjork. |

Tori for sure, haven't listened to much of the later stuff, but Little Earthquakes and Scarlett's Walk are great.

Of course, it's me. But even whithout it, Tori is far from my musical taste. |

Heard pretty much everything from Bjork - Brilliant.
Heard only one Tori so far (1st album) - Excellent. No vote. |

Well he'd be right. I don't find them that alike at all. It seems most of the more creative female artists are compared to Kate Bush though.

Dean once wrote a very good post about how the whole Tori/Kate comparison is really quite wrong....very little in common musically....I sure wish I could find that.

I've never been very touched by the music of Tori Amos, probably because of the shadow of Kate bush, which I love. I prefer someone like Veda Hille, a canadian artist who's not on P.A. but that would deserve to be. |
