...Or at least, I'd like to find Björk somewhere in the "prog related" or "prog electronic" category... Come on! Admit it: "Isobel" could be the new millenium's version of Genesis's "White Mountain"...

Love her work... but as sure as it is highly experimental, I doubt her very much as a prog act. Electronica scene is way more advanced...

But the fact she just about scalped that female Asian reporter outside the airport automatically puts her in the angst-ridden punk category. LOL

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.

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.
DEATH TO FALSE PROG!

Not prog. Very eclectic, but not prog.

Again if we have Bjork then we have to have Yoko Ono; and who wants her on the archives.
From what I've heard Bjork to me appears to be of the pseudo arty types like Yoko Ono, no real talent but if they act bizarre and weird then they  appear to be creative and are considered art by people who can't tell the difference between their backsides and music.
Bjorks music (from what I've heard and I'm prepared to be corrected) sounds like simple pop songs and she just sings weird and wears weird costumes, and to some that sounds 'arty'. Just like Devo has suckered many people in, with lack of talent and looking weird, she strikes me as a bit of a charletan.
I AM OPEN TO BEING CORRECTED MY KNOWLEDGE OF HER MUSIC IS RELATIVELY LIMITED SO THIS IS JUST MY IMPRESSION SO FAR.

^ ??? Unless you want a photo of her naked, that's what the web offers. I think it's clear we're talking about music.

If we're about to put pictures of naked artists in our website, we don't have to restrict ourselves to prog music! Big%20smileTongueBig%20smile

No, you've pretty much summed her up

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.

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.

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?

Confused 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.
