It's against my better judgement to do this and I'm probably gonna regret this.

But I see the debate about which is better all the time on here and I'm just curious what people think.

I have a preferred side but I won't say which I'm on. I'm remaining unbiased and not voting.

>>68614787
Voted for Grimes. I like Bjork too.

I think Bjork will win. She's more respected on /mu/ than Grimes. The latter is too new to really compete with a legend.

I don't know anything about Bjork, but find Grimes intensely relateable, and her voice is very relaxing. Knowing how rare this is I figured the probability of error was low and just voted for Grimes.

This dude speaks the truth.
>>
>>68615383
She's a pretty good singer, but the overall dynamics don't stand out as novel or interesting. I can't get into it, there's no real hook for me. No means to experience any kind of depth, at least, at the moment.

So, as usual, my heuristics were probably right. I tend to know me well enough.

I find her so compelling and so unlike anybody else and so incredibly talented, skilled, and fun. I love her. I met her in LA a few months ago, she told me something along the lines of, "I grew up listening to your music". I will say, it made me feel really old for about five minutes, then it made me feel really happy. I was like well, I guess I'm old now, but that's okay because this awesome and amazing young musician likes my music and said that it was special to her when she was younger, so that's great.

https://i-d.vice.com/en_au/article/life-after-whimsy-joanna-newsom-is-no-ethereal-creature

That's right. Joanna Newsom highly praised Grimes. She knows something about music, isn't it? Don't you feel like a fool for dismissing Grimes? Stop acting like a spoiled kid and be reasonable for once.
>>
>>68615522
Songwriting and production are Grimes' biggest assets. But despite her limitations regarding vocals, Grimes could use her voice range very effectively: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGLvUejoRb4

Say what you will, but her voice has a lot of emotion.

Yes they do. Halfaxa and Geidi Primes were two of the best albums I've ever heard.

>>68615577
I love Joanna Newsom. One of my favorite artists of all time, but even the article says that Joanna "Loves the idea of Grimes" and that she "Hadn't wrapped her head around the record". I'm not seeing too many signs of her love for Grimes music, other than the fact she said that grimes was talented, but that can refer to many things
>>
>>68615647
and what you are doing?
>>
>>68615647
They know very well what they're doing. Not everyone is brainwashed by media that x artist is the best. They use their own brain to judge what they like. What's your problem if they prefer Grimes?

Anon, don't be sad, it seems that Bjork is leading by far. You got what you want.

Joanna literally said she loves Grimes. And from another interview:

>Nieve said, “You’ve spoken before about how women’s voices are held to a standard of prettiness, and how you were able to overcome that in part by listening to women who differed from the popular norm and sang in a more idiosyncratic style. I think that’s such an encouraging thing for young female songwriters to learn, and to have artists like yourself to look up to is so important. Who would have been most influential on you, and which artists do you currently admire in this regard?”

[...]

>I started to think of it as waveforms. The violin is not an uglier sound than the flute, it’s just a jagged waveform instead of a smooth waveform. There are certain things that, musically, I prefer over others: I like music that is in tune, I prefer when singers are in tune, I prefer when I’m in tune. In terms of people today, as I said, I’m a little out of the loop, but I have noticed I’m really excited by the way that Grimes frames herself, and seems utterly disinterested in her own beauty, which is really exciting to me. Sometimes it’s useful for an idea, and then other times it’s not useful for an idea, and she seems unaffected either way. I LIKE HER MUSIC AS WELL, AND I LIKE WHAT SHE SAYS.

>>68615577
assuming youre trolling, but she didn't praise grimes at all. she said loved bjorks album, but can't wrap her head around grimes album but is excited about the "idea" of her. also, she's only 6 years older than grimes and only really mentions what grimes had said to her.

Don't get me wrong, Grimes isn't a bad person or untalented, but holy shit you guys need to take her off your pedestals
>>
jesus, it's like you guys are trying to make us hate grimes even more with posts like these.

fuck off back to your containment thread.

You should know one thing: Grimesfans genuinely love her. If you really get into her music and read about her, watch some interviews, watch some concerts, it's hard to not love her.

If want to see what's the big deal about Grimes, watch at least this clip (turn up the volume really high): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSWwVYuqsVM

Maybe you will like it as much as I do.

Read the whole thing. Esp. this part:
>I find her so compelling and so unlike anybody else and so incredibly talented, skilled, and fun. I love her.
>I was like well, I guess I'm old now, but that's okay because this awesome and amazing young musician likes my music and said that it was special to her when she was younger, so that's great.
It's 100% clear that Joanna appreciates Grimes a lot.

Read this >>68615778 too. Joanna clearly said:
>I like her music as well, and I like what she says.

She said she can't wrap her head around that Grimes album in a good way: it's too out there.

About NOT not actually engaging in discussions with people? (aka threads that feature a greater reply/poster ratio.) Why do you seem to think that having actual textual discussions about things on /mu is a bad thing?

This pisses me off. Why so many believe that Bjork > Grimes? Could anyone post some decent arguments why? Just because she had a longer and a more successful career?
>>
>>68614787
Grimes is more like a mixture of producer, live-performer, dancer and singer and the reason why she is superior is her multi-tasking skills.
That being said you should compare all of their skills, not just one. Othewise, this poll is not accurate.
>>
>>68616179
I would need to hear more examples of Grimes before I make a proper judgement.

(That's why I stayed unbiased).
>>
>>68616192
+1

Singing is not even her main skill. Initially she considered to be just a songwriter/producer for other artists.
>>
>>68616179
Well, for one, there's the fact that grimes can't sing for shit. Musically, Bjork hits like a cannon and completely obliterates every aspect of Grimes's weak performance.

>>68614787
Talk about comparing apples to oranges... Björk has been singing professionally for approximately 30 years. Grimes - who only started singing as hobby approximately 9 years ago - doesn't even consider herself a singer. What's this poll supposed to prove?
>>
>>68616179
There's actual Bjork songs I enjoy. Also Bjork has done better Lars von Trier movies than Grimes.
>>
>>68616217
>Well, for one, there's the fact that grimes can't sing for shit.
Did you even listen to this Ave Maria cover? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGLvUejoRb4

>Musically, Bjork hits like a cannon and completely obliterates every aspect of Grimes's weak performance.
>implying music is a freaking competition
Bjork has a stronger voice but she could be very annoying. Grimes has a softer and more pleasant voice. Apples and oranges.
>>
>>68616255
I don't really have a dog in this fight.
I just started it because I see a lot of "Grimes > Bjork" comments so I figured 'Let's see how people really feel.' .
>>
>>68616217
To claim Grimes' vocals don't have a lot of force shows you've never actually listened to her. How infantile.
>>
grimes doesn't have a single song better than this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDbPYoaAiyc
>>
I like Grimes but Bjork is the clear winner here. She's my favourite artist along with Bowie.

Also, I just can't get into Grimes' first two albums, though maybe I should give them another go, haven't listened to them in a while.

>>68616192

Bjork is all of these apart from a dancer. Plus Bjork is an amazing actress, I don't think Grimes has ever acted? That's kind of silly anyway, Bowie liked to draw/paint but I wouldn't use those as arguments when comparing him to others.
>>
>>68616291
But you asked the wrong question. Who's the better singer? Isn't clear that most people would vote with the more powerful vocalist, Bjork?

The correct question should be "Who's the better artist?". That would cover all the bases. This poll is useless now and completely predictible.

The haters are happy that Grimes is losing.

Art Angles (or anything else she has released) doesn't even come remotely close to the worst thing Bjork has released

Yes she is.

>>68616390

Even Grimes herself said it was a lazy comparison.

Now that you're playing the critics game:
3.86 - https://rateyourmusic.com/release/single/bjork/human_behaviour/

3.92 - https://rateyourmusic.com/release/single/grimes_f1/oblivion/
Also #1 for 2012 on both RYM & P4K and #559 overall on RYM.

>yeah thats why rym has bjork higher right?
Are you that new to not know that most new artists (esp. female synthpop artists) have low ratings? Give it a decade when they will be re-evaluated and we're talking.

Stop being a dumb hipster fool and do your homework.
>>
>>68616400
To be fair, Björk has spent close to 40 years developing and refining her art/sound. Grimes has only been active in the business for 5.

>>68616454
Judging music is subjective, so...
>>
>>68616490

It's a David vs Goliath fight. Grimes is too new to be properly compared. In 10 years from now the things will be much clearer.

You should think before posting, dumbass. More ratings usually means lower rating. Oblivion managed to beat Human Behaviour with lots of extra ratings.

>DEBUT > VISIONS
False. Debut is kinda dated and patchy. Visions is a masterpiece that will get the recognition on RYM in time. If Debut would be released in 2012 it would have maybe an even lower rating that Visions.
>>
>>68616490
>Not understanding how averages work
Also, by that sort of logic one would have to conclude from those ratings statistics that Grimes is better known - which even I (as a die-hard Grimes fan) know simply isn't true.

Is anything Grimes can't do?

do you guys just think she's cuter?
>>
>>68616636
She can't play brass instruments (because she doesn't have the attention span to learn how to form a proper embouchure.) Other than that - only time will tell.
>>
>>68616699

No, what Bjork have you listened to?
>>
>2016
>people still talk about bjork
>>
>>68616698
>But it wasn't released in 2012. Why do people make arguments like this?
Because it matters when it was released. The classic albums are way less harshly judged compared to the newer ones. Pinkerton was savaged by critics when it was released but now it's a classic. People re-evaluate older albums all the time.

People look at Debut with rose tinted glasses because it's already part of canon while they're way more critical towards Visions because it's newer and not part of canon yet. Basic logic, ffs.

To prove my point that people are fickle when judging albums, Debut wasn't even universally acclaimed in 1993. There were some so-so or negative reviews:

>American reception was more mixed. Musician magazine praised the vocals of the album, stating "what makes [Björk's] singing memorable isn't the odd assortment of growls, moans and chirps she relies upon, but the emotions those sounds convey."

>American critic Robert Christgau gave the album a "neither" rating, indicating an album that "may impress once or twice with consistent craft or an arresting track or two. Then it won't".

>A negative review came from Rolling Stone who gave the album two stars out of five calling the album "utterly disappointing" blaming producer Nellee Hooper, suggesting he "sabotaged a ferociously iconoclastic talent with a phalanx of cheap electronic gimmickry."

>Michele Romero of Entertainment Weekly gave the album a C, saying, "On a few songs, [Björk's] breathy mewl is a pleasant contrast to the mechanical drone of Sugarcube-like techno-tunes. But most of Debut sounds annoyingly like the monotonous plinking of a deranged music box. Wind it up if you like -- eventually it will stop."

Not remotely.

The Nostalgia Effect causes older things that are actually good enough to transcend the social contexts in which they were created (aka classics) to increase in critical status, whereas mediocre/bad things (such as what I'm assuming your pic related is supposed to embody - can't comment on that front since I've never heard it) are gradually forgotten entirely.

And tbch both Visions & Art Angels seem way more celebrated than Debut even now. Debut's reputation grew on the basis of Bjork's later albums such as Post and Homogenic.

Exactly - only the really good one are worth re-evaluating. But only time can tell you which ones those will be...
>>
>>68617049
Visions belongs in the mediocre/bad things
AA maybe

>>68616978

Most albums aren't universally acclaimed, there's always going to be a negative review.

What we are talking about here is potential for classical appreciation. And the only way to properly judge that is with a significant passage of time.

False. You're biased against this album.

This poll is proof that people are actually like sheep. It's surprising for such an edgy and contrarian board to vote with the predictible option and the mainstream approved. You're no special snowflakes, you're just like any normie, voting with what media told you it's the best. Disappointing.

>>I don't even get why they're compared all the time on here, they're not even that similar
>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.

And to further address the lazy aspect:
>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

Yep. Disappointing is right. It always becomes more bothersome around US election season for me. We're like a case study of applied crowd psychology, tribalism, and divide and conquer tactics. You look at the garbage coming out of these people and think you'd have to be braindead... and yet.

Really is disappointing.

What if bjork's stalker actually succeeded?
>>
>>68617076

I accidentally deleted my post you replied to because my phone is acting up...

I'm not sure if Visions and AA are more celebrated. I think you underestimate how popular debut was, especially in Europe. It was everywhere in the UK. And there was quite a bit of hype for it especially after The Sugarcubes.

I thought pretty much everybody knew that Bjork was objectively better than Grimes? What even is this thread about, of course Bjork is better than Grimes it's not even a comparison
>>
>>68617980
To put it basically: Bjork fans think Bjork is better, Grimes fans think Grimes is better, it's argued a lot on here, they have similarities, etc, I made the poll.
>>
>>68617980
>Thinking objectivity exists in reference to musical preferences
Well, I guess every community needs to have its village idiot.
>>
>>68617980
Bjork is past. Grimes is present and the future.

>>68614787
Anyone who voted Grimes is legitimately retarded
>>
>>68618444
Lol would that then make the ones who voted Björk illegitimately retarded⸮

Imo much more likely it's just you who are retarded - legitimately or not.
>>
>>68614787
I honestly don't even care if Grimes makes good or bad music, her fans on this board alone make me dislike her enough
>>
Bjord is one of the most influencial musical artists in history, Grimes is a good offering from a current trend of sadgirl pop.

I like them both, but Bjork is Bjork. She's a creative juggernaut that Grimes isn't even close to rivaling.
>>
>>68619116
This.

Grimes fanboys made me love Death Grips fanboys

Very dumb. Imagine walking up to Grimes and saying to her face "I hate you because of your fans on /mu/. I dislike you."

Feels a bit inane now, doesn't it?

Why not? Grimes did a tremendous amount of great songs in her short career so far. People love her and discuss her so much because she's THAT good. I guarantee you if Grimes would have just a couple of great songs like most mainstream artists no one would really care about her.
>>
>which SINGER do you prefer

Obviously Bjork because Grimes isn't a great singer. I prefer listening to Grimes music but I'll say that Bjork is more accomplished.
>>
Why 75% voted wrong, guys?
I don't get it....
>>
Do grimes fans now understand that we don't want any more of their shitty threads?
>>
>>68625554
What that means? This voting has been rigged by the haters to make a point?

>we don't want any more of their shitty threads
>WAAAAAAH WAAAAAAAAH WAAAAAAAAAH, stop posting artists that I hate
You're pathetic if you didn't discover filtering yet.
>>
>>68625239
Because they fell for "Bjork is the best" meme. And the question was just about their singing abilities.
