Ranking Björk's Discography (Worst to Best)

Icelandic singer Björk is one of the most unique and interesting vocalists and songwriters of all time. Mixing artsy pop with experimental tendencies, she has been a driving force in the world of innovation in electronic music production while simultaneously creating catchy and meaningful tracks and albums. 

With the recent release of her 11th studio album (I do consider her 2000 album Selmasongs as an official studio album), I decided to do a ranking of her work.

Completionist Indexing Project - Art Pop (pop in. #1)

Art pop is probably my second favorite genre of music. I took a lot of time sorting and ranking the list below. Art pop is a genre that blends pop sensibility with avant-garde influences, creating a unique space where accessibility and experimentation coexist. Emerging in the late 20th century, Art Pop artists have been known to push the boundaries of conventional pop music, drawing inspiration from diverse sources such as visual arts, classical music, and unconventional production techniques. While its roots can be traced to the likes of David Bowie and Kate Bush, the genre's evolution continues with artists like Björk and St. Vincent, who mix eccentricity with mainstream appeal. Art Pop's charm lies in its ability to fuse the familiar with the unfamiliar, crafting sonic landscapes that are as thought-provoking as they are catchy. Below is a survey of my favorite art pop. 1. 야야 킴 [YAYA Kim] - a.k.a YAYA  ||  Jazz Pop, Art Rock, Art Pop  ||  2022  || ...
