Our Björk Albums Ranked And Complete Discography looks back at the legendary catalog of albums released by the multi talented musical artist known as Bjork. Since her arrival on the music scene first as a member of The Sugarcubes and then onto a spectacular solo career, Bjork remains one of the most innovative musical artists of the past forty years. Bjork was born in the capital city of Iceland known as Reykjavík. She was the daughter of a musician who helped her early on in her career when she released her first album at the young age of only eleven years old.
In 1988, Bjork released her first album with the band The Sugarcubes entitled Life’s Too Good. The group would release two more albums. In 1989 they released their second album called Here Today, Tomorrow Next Week!. In 1992, the Sugarcubes released their final studio albums titled Stick Around for Joy. Two years after the release of the final Sugarcubes album Bjork would release her first solo album of her adult musical career titled Debut. The album was an enormous critical success and launched the career of what would become one of the most musically daring artists of the next thirty plus years.
# No Ranking – Björk
Since the title of this article is Björk Albums Ranked And Complete Discography we felt compelled to list this album as we are a history site.
