I agree.

Watched the Volta Live DVD for the first time in a while the other day, so good.

>>68583380
>Björk > Grimes
haha. no

You don't need to state that Björk is better than grimes. This is like common sense. Only delusional faggots think otherwise

>>68583380
Pleb. Bjork is signed to a major label and she sold millions of albums. You're basically comparing a mainstream (pleb) artist with the patrician indie darling Grimes.

You seem to forget that Bjork needs many people to work for her while Grimes is doing everything in her music by herself.

There's nothing in Bjork's music that surpass Grimes. Prove me wrong.

>>68584592
>You don't need to state that Björk is better than grimes
I challenge you to prove your point.

>>68584592
> Grimes' skills:
- singer
- songwriter
- producer
- sound engineer
- lyricist
- live performer
- visual artist
- music video director
- dancer
- model
- virtuoso

Bjork is not even near to her level.

>>68583380
tryhard beyonce

>>68584887
agree
Beyoncé > bjork
Beyoncé > grimes

>>68584910
Grimes > Bjork + Beyonce.

>>68584873
Just to mention few:
>better singer (live performances of grimes are literally terrible see coachella)
>better songwriter with much more diversity
>excellent actress
>she has several acclaimed records under her name and has influenced way more artists than grimes

>>68584873
>- singer
>- songwriter
>- producer
>- sound engineer
>- lyricist
>- live performer
>- visual artist
>- music video director
>- dancer
>- model
>- virtuoso

The only two that don't apply to Björk as well are dancer and music video director.

>>68584845

Technically, Bjork is indie.She's been with One Little Indian since 1987 and it's only a small label.

>>68584873

Bjork is all of these apart from music video director and dancer.

People are acting like collaborating with people is a crime, Bjork does about 95% of things herself. I guess Bowie isn't as good as Grimes either because he didn't do everything himself.

>>68585014
>Bowie isn't as good as Grimes
but it's true, and I don't even like grimes that much

>>68583380
she is boring

>>68585025
I hate grimes faggots so much.

>>68584976
>better singer
technically, yes. shame about her annoying wails. bjork could be more annoying than bieber with her wild voice. grimes has a more pleasant voice.
>(live performances of grimes are literally terrible see coachella)
coachella was a one off. she improved a lot since then. she got postive reviews for all her shows since then.
>better songwriter with much more diversity
bjork is a worse songwriter. only her singles are memorable, the rest seems like filler with no good melody. as for diversity. grimes is also very diverse, just listen to her discography.
>excellent actress
pfffffffffffffft
>she has several acclaimed records under her name
all grimes albums are also acclaimed (and funny thing, both visions and art angels have a metacritic score higher with exactly one point than biophilia and vulnicura, respectively.
>and has influenced way more artists than grimes
bjork was longer in the music biz, so that's obvious.

Grimes fans should consider sucide.

Björk is a true original. Grimes is a tryhard art student. Can we please kill the Grimes meme now

>>68585087

>>68585054
Imo grimes is too diverse.

I would love more stuff like Visions.

>>68585081
why exactly?

I don't even get why they're compared all the time on here, they're not even that similar, and don't post that list that always gets posted, the one with vague comparisons. It's like Grimes fans are insecure about another female artist on here being more popular. People can enjoy both you know? Doesn't have to be a competition all the time.

But if people insist, if I had to pick one it'd be Bjork.

Grimes fans are worse than bronies i swear

I swear it's the same one or two people defending Grimes to the death on here, like she can't do any wrong.

>>68585139
why exactly?

>>68585087
Fwiw Grimes was a hard sciences student, not an art student. Imo it's a big party of what makes the art she produces so interesting.

>>68585122
>It's like Grimes fans are insecure
And now you look who created the thread.

Because it's an easy (lazy) comparison people can make - plus trolls love pushing things that pit strong-minded people against each other.
Actual Grimes fans don't have problems with Björk, because - like you said - they're different artists, and people can enjoyultiple things at once.

>>68585195

But there's constantly posts here about how Grimes is better than Bjork, often derailing threads but hardly ever ones the other way around. It's really annoying how you can't get a good Bjork discussion going without someone posting Grimes. Bjork fans don't go into Grimes generals and post about her all the time, at least from what I've seen.

>>68585207
literally this
just don't mention grimes and that one grimesposter won't even post
it's not difficult

>>68585081
>>68585046
"People" that can't stand being trolled by Grimes fans anymore. When you're going supernova, pricks? WHEN?

>>68585260
>Bjork fans don't go into Grimes generals
Oh, really?

>>68585087
Stop this meme. Bjork didn't make a decent album since Vespertine, and Grimes took her place as the art pop queen. The sooner you accept this cold hard truth, the better.

/thread

the only question that matters is what bork thinks of grim and what grim thinks of bork

>>68585110
Yes, her music is diverse. More details here: >>68583145

>>68585317
>i hate it when people compare me to bjork. not because i dont completely love bjork and think she is a fucking badass, but because it just seems like lazy journalism. i.e. any female artist who makes even remotely experimental music is constantly compared to bjork by journalists who completely ignore the legacy of every other experimental female musician who isn’t bjork. also good luck ever being likened to a male musican. the media seems to think that you can only be similar to musicians who have the same sex organs as you. i actually dont really see the point in comparing artists all the time.. but whatever… such is the state of journalism.

>any way, i took this test and even this test says i am bjork, which i guess is the answer i would have wanted, altho kim gordon is rly cool and her appearance on girls was very good. james got kim gordon tho so at least someone in this household is representing her in this random buzzfeed test that seems to be very popular today

Björk is the most important musician of the last 30years.

You can't even prove me wrong.

True. I actually like both. But people just like to say controversial things...

>>68585370
I dare you to show me 1 (one) decent grimes song.
One.

good answer tbqh, she's right it's a lazy comparison

wonder what bork thinks

>>68585410
Just as I though.
Not a single decent song.

I guess she has as much bad songs as hair in her legs.

>>68585390
OK. Grimes has lots of great songs, but I'll mention her signature song, Oblivion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtH68PJIQLE

P4K & RYM's #1 single of 2012, baby!

Actually here's a second song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADPk5PpkjMg

Why you're wasting our time, pal?

>>68585314

Medulla, Biophilia and Vulnicura are all good to amazing, even Volta is alright. Definitely her worst but I wouldn't call it bad.

>>68585352

Kind of funny Grimes thinks it's lazy after all the comparisons Grimes fans do on here. Wonder what Bjork thinks of her.

The supposed competition between Bjork and Grimes is a fake meme. Both artists respect each other, and many Grimesfans like Bjork and viceversa.

i'm glad her fans aren't literally insane

>>68585616
What about Ricardo Lopez?

>>68585492
>Kind of funny Grimes thinks it's lazy after all the comparisons Grimes fans do on here.
Grimes is one thing, her fans other things. They don't have the same brain.

ITT: grimes fans attack another artist's general thread because that artist is not grimes

>>68585681
dead people can't be insane

>>68585731
ITT: grimes fans attack another artist's general thread because the baity OP's post Bjork > Grimes.

FIFY. It's like asking to be hit in the face.

>>68585970
The point is Grimes never had a Lopez. So, you Bjork fans better shut up considering the circumstances.

>>68585616

Although - admittedly - I now feel like a terrible person.

>>68586164

Otherwise they would have nothing to discuss.

>>68586565
Pretty much this. Right now I saved this thread from page 9.

>>68587717
y tho

>>68587809
because he's OP

>>68587838
you can't bump your own threads nigga

Anyway, how do you guys feel about Vulnicura? I personally found it a definite improvement from Volta and better than Biophilia. Excellent string work, seriously. And I believe she composed all of the strings herself. What direction do you think she's going to take on her next album, as hard as that may be to answer? I know she said it was going to sound heavenly, but I wonder how.. Will it be strings and beats like Vulnicura? (or even Homogenic?), or something more like Debut and Post trip-hop feel? Either way I'm excited.

>>68588597
>And I believe she composed all of the strings herself
I don't understand why she makes such a big fuss about this.
Who fucking cares?

>>68588597


shitposting is technically composing strings

>>68588733
What websites does Björk use?

>>68588764
fuskator dot com

>>68588597

I don't see why this is noteworthy. She composes nearly everything herself.

I love Vulnicura, I appreciate Vulnicura Strings even more now after seeing her live with just strings last month. Yeah, she said her next album was going to be happy/utopian, can't wait to see what she comes up with!

>>68584873
So what? You can call yourself a heart surgeon and still kill all of your patients by mistake. Just because she has more "utilities" doesn't make her better than Björk.
