You Spin me right round, Björk: Thom Yorke's a fan
Posted:
Björk's 'Unravel' - song three of ten on the Icelandic singer's 1997 album Homogenic - is Radiohead singer Thom Yorke's favourite-ever song.
I like it, too! Maybe Thom and I are brothers?
Yorke said the above while being interviewed by US magazine Spin. He added that he hopes that Radiohead will one day cover the song. See me, I'd opt for 'Harm Of Will' from her Our 66-winning LP Vespertine. That song = asmazing. So much so that I can't even spell the word.
That's Björk pictured, up there, not Thom. He has shorter hair.
Keep your eyes peeled for a competition, coming soon, where one lucky reader will win themselves a whole bundle of CDs from the Our 66 list, including Vespertine, our worthy winner.

Very good song
Hardly the best on the album though, not while Hunter, All Is Full Of Love and Bachelorette are still around.

why is this a news story?
this was in spin like 4 months ago? when thom yorke was promoting the eraser
-
have you nicked this from the NME site?
'cos they reported this yesterday and i was bemused 'cos i'm sure i heard this months ago.

Homogenic>Vespertine
by miles in my opinion.
In fact:
Homogenic>Post>Medula>Vespertine>Debut
-
well it's nicked from SOMEWHERE!
I don't have Thom on speed dial.
If it's old, whatever - it's a plug for the comp to come, really.

"not Thom. He has shorter hair."
also, only one of his eyes looks like that

homogenic is a ridiculously underrated album. unravel would probably be among my least loved tracks on it though
-
Where is your 66?
it stayed at 45 for ever then disappeared and now you declare number 1 only in passing...what about 2, 3, 4, 14, 6 etc....WHAT ABOUT THEM!?
-
Fucking Great Choice!
I adore Unravel. The lyrics get me every time. Tear to my eye.
-
Um...
...we ran each part on the front page for a good few days each.

agreed
defo my favourite lyrics on that album
-
Come To Me in Unison
that's interesting, cos neither "Unravel" nor "Harm of will" particularly strike a chord with me. My favourite Bjork songs would have to be either "Come to me" or "Unison".
-
I'd go for Undo, Aurora or Unison as my favourite on Vespertine
and therefore, quite possibly my favourite song ever...
-
Strange but true:
His second favourite song is Agadoo - largely for the bridge. You just never know what he'll say next, I would never set my watch by Thom Yorke.
-
And now, another
MurderFACT: Homogenic is my dad's favourite album of all time.
Go dad. -
wouldnt say
its my favourite bjork song, but it is a beautiful song nonetheless
-
Why why why
Does mike diver think he is funny???
It's fucking torturous!
Please stop! -
huh?
i read that in spin back in the summer time!
this certainly isn't news. it's olds. -
Joga
is the best Bjork song. Period. And Homogenic her best album. Period.
Quiet, Brainlove.
