Not a fan of everything she does, but she has my undying respect. Her debut was and is untouchable.

Her music is an easy NC
She is eccentric and beautiful.

Not crap musically, but I don't care for much of it. Hate her lyrics and presentation.

I'm only familiar with Debut, which I think is brilliant. NC

My interest waned a bit after Medulla, but she's still massively NC.
In the early 2000s when I was pretty actively involved in a community of electronic musicians, her albums were universally considered pinnacles of creative production, on par with Autechre or Aphex releases, pointing the direction toward new things.

Second-hand sounds, middlebrow "artiness". Yawn.
Easy crap for me

Solid. Nobody like her. Not really my thing, but can't help but have full respect. Saw her live twice, and it was great both times. The first 4 records are really good, after that it gets too conceptual, but it's never crap. Sugarcubes are ok too.

I wonder how easy it is for Bjork to find a guy to match her freak.
Yes, she's famous, probably has lots of resources, a fair amount of access to people, and so on.
But her whole trip seems hyper-specific. Ingrained. I have trouble imagining a garden variety "art guy" being able to keep up.
Anyway, I will say NC, but don't think I've heard anything beyond the fourth record, or thereabouts. Memory's hazy.

Bjork is the greatest.
Anecdotally, I played a show in Iceland over 20 years ago, her then teenage son's band was the support. Lovely lad, had the following exchange after.
"Great set, man, are you going to hang around for a drink?"
"No"
"Ah go on, just the one"
"NO! I must go home to masturbate feverishly!"
