It's Bjork's Birthday! Party Time!


Over the course of my life, there’s been only a few artists that really have affected me personally with their powerful and timeless music. I generally enjoy diverse music, including the likes of Radiohead, Queens of the Stone Age, Muse, Klaxons, Goldfrapp, Coldplay, Metallica, Arcade Fire, múm, Kings of Leon and even a few of The Beatles songs. But of all the music I’ve listened to, Björk has been the most influential on my life.


Before I had ever listened to Björk’s music, I thought she was just another strange female artist you occasionally hear in the media. But then one day I heard Hyperballad and that amazing music video that went with it, and I was hooked ever since. I then took the plunge, taking a risk on an unfamiliar artist, listening to more and more of her music and getting more and more hooked with each song. I then discovered that not only is she an ageless beauty, and so unique in personality, her entire life is consumed by music. And I’ve been consumed by her music ever since!



As Bjork celebrates her birthday today, I thought it’d be appropriate to list her top 100 songs of her glorious career thus far. Happy Birthday Bjork! and here's hoping to another 20 years of musical excellence. Of course this list is just my personal opinion, and some people rank songs more than others, but nonetheless:

24. All Neon Like
23. Possibly Maybe
22. Domestica
21. Big Time Sensuality
20. Play Dead
19. Generous Palmstroke


18. Storm
Off her Drawing Restraint 9 soundtrack, this is probably one of the most terrifying and haunting songs you’ll hear. I think this sums it up: "Björk's lone vocal soars in the chorus like the booming siren of a blue whale who suddenly realized she was the last of her species."

17.I Remember You
An unlikely choice, seeming as it is a Bjork cover. But this is a slow moving, touching love song that hits a nerve. “When my life is through, and the angels ask me to recall, the thrill of them all, I shall tell them… I remember you.”


16. Wanderlust
Off her most recent album, this is definitely one of her best efforts off it. Heavy Beats with some elctronic sounds combined with Bjork’s great vocals works well.


15. I Miss You
A slightly more hip-hop type song, but Bjork pulls it off again with a catchy tune and odd lyrics. “I miss you, but I haven’t met you yet.”


14.It's in Our Hands
“It’s in our hands, it always was”. Great track.


13. Hunter
A brilliant use of hard drumming beats makes this song completely, and is a slight change from her other music in tempo. “I thought that I could organise freedom, how scandinavian of me.”


12. Venus As A Boy
With a quirky xylophone beat and lush strings, mixed with Bjork’s playful lyrics this song is one of her most catchiest and upbeat songs .


11. Harm of Will
A soft and touching song which relies on Bjork’s magnificent vocals and nice choir in the background.

10. Pagan Poetry
A sort of Japanese sounding song with it’s intro and parts throughout the song, but mixes with some great electronic beats to make a elegant and beautiful song. “On the surface, simplicity. But the darkest part of me is Pagan Poetry."


9. Desired Constellation
A song that you usually listen to alone, at night, or star-gazing. A moving melody background sound that was apparently made from voice loops making a bell type sound which suits the mood perfectly. It can’t be repeated, which makes this a great song along with fantastic lyrics. “With a palm full of stars - I throw them like dice, repeatedly…until the desired constellation appears...”


8. Bachelorette
A raw, powerful song featuring violins and pounding beats mixed with Bjork’s soaring vocals is a true treat to the ears.


7. Who Is It
A song that is beat-boxed (I didn’t even know the beats in this song were non-computer until I re-listened to it) entirely with no instruments sounds bad right? Wrong. A great song, and great lyrics. Possibly one of the strangest and cute music videos ever made which accompanies this song, which shows Bjork in a bell suit (yes you heard right) dancing with bell kids.


6. Aurora
“Goddess sparkle.” A heartfelt song that showcases Bjork’s sweet vocals but also has great help from a fantastic choir, and combined is match made in heaven.


5. Unison
Such a powerful song. An AMAZING use of Bjork’s vocals, as the song builds to it’s amazing climax along with the help of a beautiful choir.


4. All Is Full of Love
The top 5 are very, very hard. This song is purely amazing and touching at the same time, with it’s electronic melody and use of instruments combined with great lyrics makes it an elegant yet beautiful song.


3. Unravel
A song that has to be heard to be believed. “My heart comes undone, slowly unravels, in a ball of yarn”.Thom Yorke says it’s the most beautiful song he’s ever heard, and I’m not one to disagree! Strange sounding organs works brilliantly, the song is just another Bjork classic.


2. Hyperballad
A strong but twisted song about love that’s not easily explained. It’s about waking up early in the morning, being destructive, throwing small things off a mountain, and imagining what her body would feel like slamming against rocks at the bottom of the cliff, asking “And when I land will my eyes be closed or open?”, and then finally returning to her lover's arms in the morning as if nothing’s happened.


1. Jóga
Perhaps the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard. It’s a gorgeous song which not only showcases Bjork’s vocals but just how good music can be in Bjork’s hands. A masterpiece.


So there you have it. My opinion on her best 100 songs from an amazing artist. Feel free to agree or disagree with me, or even add your own list of her favourite songs.


Note: I didn't use any The Sugarcubes songs. I highly recommend Birthday if you want to hear Bjork's vocals soar to unimaginable heights.

it makes me sad that it doesn't know my first track though ):
according to my last.fm it was So Contagious by Acceptance.

Howdy.

I'm Anna & these are the 15 most irritating, nerve-grating, brain-killing, child-corrupting, seizure-inducing songs in music history. If you feel very, very masochistic, create a playlist of these, listen to it, then kill yourself. What, you're not suicidal? YOU WILL BE.

PARENTAL WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT! THE FOLLOWING JOURNAL ENTRY HAS PICTURES OF MUTANTS IN IT!!!

15 - Any & every song by Mariah Carey


Take your pick.

14 - Labelle & a bunch of other bitches dressed up as whores: Lady Marmalade


This song is so indescribably retarded, it makes want to strangle a kitten, stomp a bunny to death and deep-fry a living goldfish AT THE SAME TIME.

13 - Bon Jovi: Livin' On A Prayer


Everything that sucks about the 80's & hair metal, condensed into 4 minutes 10 seconds of intense, cheerful ear-rape.
Oh, and he's a douche.

12 - Kings of Leon: Sex On Fire


If I were a mic, I'd file a restraining order against this singer dude (forgive my ignorance for not bothering to look up his name).

11 - Europe: The Final Countdown


Because there can be no list of shitty songs without this one. The worst thing is-once the fucker gets into your ears, there's no getting rid of it! And look at that album cover... JUST LOOK AT IT.

10 - AC/DC: Highway to Hell (especially as performed by Brian Johnson)


Whoever thinks that this band does good hard rock needs to check out The Cult ASAP. If you do that and still think this song & this band are any good, congratulations- you fucking suck.

9 - Michael Jackson: Bad


Hard to pick just one, really. I chose this 'cause he says I'M BAD a zillion times in it, and it's the truth. The most overrated artist in music history, MJ had an unnaturally whiny voice & annoyingly repetitive, spastic dance moves, widely considered some of the bestest evarrr. Really? Plus he had the IQ of a senile Forrest Gump and threw away millions upon millions of dollars on shiny kitsch he didn't really need. A true icon indeed.

8 - Céline Dion: My Heart Will Go On


The fact that I liked this song when I was 13 makes me sad. Celine is the perfect example of a person who does have a voice, but uses it in the most irritating way imaginable.

7 - Avril Lavigne: Girlfriend


This song (and everything else she's ever done) makes me wish I had earlids; you know, like eyelids, only for ears. Those would be useful.

6 - O-Zone: Dragostea Din Tei


The English language doesn't have the words to describe how bad it is. I wish I could've spent the summer of 2004 on the Moon, maybe then I could've avoided hearing this (not sure, though). Unfortunately I understand the lyrics, too.

5 - Rihanna: Umbrella ella ella eh eh eh eh


I'm confused. I thought black females were supposed to have good voices. But then along come this squeaking blow-up doll and suddenly I'm not so sure anymore.

4 - Beyoncé: Video Phone


Look at this video. There's no way to describe just how disjointed and overlong and weird and ugly it is. Plus it features Lady GaGa, who's guaranteed to make everything 50% uglier.


The song is... amazingly bad. The kind of nausea-inducing shittiness that makes you hope that all that stuff in the Bible is true and there is indeed a Hell where the people responsible for this bullshit will burn, BURN for eternity.

3 - Freddie Mercury: Living on My Own


Another example of good pipes being put to bad use. JESUS H. CHRIST, THIS IS SO, SO HORRIBLE.

2 - Britney Spears: Womanizer


It's actually a 3-way tie between Womanizer, Gimme More & 3. The Unholy Trinity of shitty plastic pop devoid of any emotion or message, 'cept that dressing up as cheap slut is cool and attracts men. Sadly, the latter is true.

1 - Lady GaGa: Poker Face


She is a phenomenon! She is wild! She is shocking! SHE SUCKS ASS!

Stuff her fans keep saying:
SHE CAN PLAY THE PIANO!!! - yeah, like cca. 50.000.000 other people on the planet.
SHE SINGS LIVE!!! - sad but true: actually squeezing out those dumbass lyrics instead of mouthing them is an extraordinary accomplishment in today's pop business.
SHE DESIGNS ALL HER STUFF!!! - I'm pretty sure her designing process includes smoking weed while thinking real hard about how she could make the headlines again.
ZOMG SHE'S SO HOT!!! - O rly? Am I missing something here?


...yeah, whatever, dudes. The level of idiocy in Poker Face is nicely demonstrated by this charming fellow:


And if you still want more, just read the lyrics for Bad Romance & feel free to discuss the hidden meaning behind mysterious & intriguing lines like
Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah-ah!
Roma-roma-mamaa!
Ga-ga-ooh-la-la!


What, you still don't feel suicidal? Here's a special bonus, brought to you by
Black Eyed Peas!



SEASON'S SPECIAL:
2 songs which, unlike most of those mentioned below, will NEVER go away...
Frank Sinatra (and several others): Jingle Bells & Bing Crosby (and several others): White Christmas
If these songs do anything successfully, it's the total & utter destruction of my Xmas spirit. Same story every year. It starts to snow, I feel kinda cheerful, I enter a store to check out some totally unnecessary stuff I might buy for my relatives to demonstrate that I actually care about their existence, and ONE OF THESE SONGS starts to play...
...and I already want to shoot a new hole into Santa's ass with a Magnum .44.


THE END
