poll Björk vs. Lana: Who is the Queen of alt-pop?

[YourFavoriteWeapon]

Lana is much bigger than Björk in terms of sales/touring stats/name recognition/fanbase and her recent output is better than most of what Björk has put out in recent years (the last album of hers I truly loved is Vulnicura whereas I hated Utopia and thought Fossora was just average at best), but Debut/Post/Homogenic/Vespertine are better than any Lana albun (though Ultraviolence and Honeymoon come close).

Good pick too

thanks yeah

 

honestly I looove Lana and Björk but Kate's the true one who feels like she pioneered the genre. she set the standard for debut singles with Wuthering Heights (Human Behaviour and Video Games being two more of the best songs of all time), and then she set the standard for concept albums with Hounds of Love (Vulnicura and Ultraviolence being two more of the best albums ever)

 

it's like… obviously we don't need to compare in terms of music quality cause all three ladies have delivered consistent excellence for a majority of their respective careers, but Kate's innovation and trailblazing for artists of all genres/genders/nationalities places her in another league of artist at large. she's on the legend level of Bowie and Prince, where Björk and Lana will ALSO both be sooner rather than later

I mean she took a different approach after her stalker tried to kill her.

now that this thread has been bumped I will say that Björk is a superior artist to Lana. but I still go with Kate as my original answer
