Top 50 Bjork Songs
Bjork is my favourite artist and has such a consistently great discography so it was easy picking a lot of highlights. This is my first list so apologies if any formatting goes astray. I had longer write-ups for my top 10 but some were too long so I just stuck with my favourite lyrics from each song. |
