base talk Is Björk the queen of album covers?

I can't think of any other artist who has delivered consistent excellence with their album covers the way Björk has throughout her career (minus Utopia and Fossora) but I am keen to hear others' thoughts on the matter.

Yep. Post, Homogenic, and Vespertine are three of the greatest covers of all time. Each perfectly encapsulate the vibe of each album, while still being stunning pieces on their own

[sunbathinganimal]

I've always found the Vulnicura cover so interesting, on the surface I don't really like it at all but at the same time it is so evocative. It makes her look so exposed and vulnerable which fits the album perfectly.

I was today years old when I found out that the person in the first picture is neither Michael Jackson nor John Lennon

 

OT: the last 2 are garbage but yes, she is.

[NoOneDiesFromLove]

Yeah, even if Utopia in literal nightmare fuel

[lonnie]

Yes

[Kevin Parker]

Yës

 

[Brunette Ambition]

Yes

Homogenic > vulnicura 3D cover 

> Fossora > utopia > vespertine > post> medulla > debut > biophilia > Volta 

[Vespertine]

Yes indeed  

 

I've toyed with the idea of getting part of the Vespertine cover as a tattoo tbh  (the actual written "Vespertine") 

[lonnie]

I'd also add that she has the best tour costumes ever too:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Like how she does it every time is beyond me

 

 

[WokeEqualist]

Yes

Spoiler

 

[shookspeare]

yes! I hated the fossora cover at first but as long as I just think of it as camp I love it

[Blue Jeans]

Her covers are so striking and hard to forget. Especially considering some albums are old back when other musicians had plain basic portraits with some writing (Bjork’s first one still looks striking even if it’s just a regular portrait)

[popmusicisdead]

yes

 

[Digitalism]

Of visuals in general. But yes she is

[Dancehall Queen]

Yes, including all her album covers.

[Cruel Summer]

Yes. Nobody comes anywhere close, and Post is the greatest album cover of all time.

[Shimenawa]

Yes excellent music, album covers, fashion and visuals

 

No one compares 2 her

 

Medulla is my fav album cover, it's so striking

Beautiful gowns

[Pheromosa]

Volta is so unappealing but the rest are great imo 

[ayanda]

Grace Jones also

 

[poki]

They are super iconic. I knew the 2nd and 3rd one before I even discovered Bjork because of how often I would see them used by people online in various ways.

obviously, she's been the queen of visuals ever since Debut.
