Let's not forget Björk Gudmundsdottir of the Sugarcubes:

[I_Love_My_Husband]

Bjork was great when did that Birthday song...and Allison Moyet!...that diary song...

You've got great musical taste!

The Daughter says:

Bjork!! :: giggles :: Erm, okay, just had to get that out.

Nobody I know likes her. I like her, even though I've only heard one of her songs. Will find CDs later, 'cause I thought her songs were really, really good.

Has anyone here mentioned Alanis Morisette pre-"Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie"? And has anyone heard of Switchblade Kittens? Gotta love their song "All Cheerleaders Die". They're awesome (they've got one guy in their group, but they're still considered a girl group), and they absolutely ROCK.

And I agree that Bonnie Raitt plays slide greatly. All bow before Bonnie, for she is the Queen...

Bjork is eccentric, to say the least, but if there is a true genius out there, it's her. Her stuff is as original as it gets - - no "same old, same old" from Bjork, that's for sure. I was glad to see your post, as I had just finished listening to Venus As A Boy.
