Björk

From: Reykjavik, Iceland

Active: 1977-present

I first heard of her: when some music magazines did articles about how the lead singer of the Sugarcubes was recording a solo album

Sound: super eclectic, but I know her for her '90s trip-hoppy alt-rocky stuff

Further listening: I'm sure my brother could write a book about this — Björk was his favorite musician, last I checked — but I'll limit myself to one bonus track for the nonce:

"All Is Full of Love (original/video version)" (1999)
