Björk: officially bonkers
Mike_Diver by Mike Diver January 10th, 2006

Elfin queen of Icelandic avant-pop Björk has been named the most eccentric star on the planet in a BBC poll. Well, whatever: I love her like tubby yanks love pork chops and maple syrup. (I don't want to eat her, you understand...)

The singer heads a top twenty list, which can be seen below. Her music was described by the compiling editor as 'quirky'. What a qunt.

1. Björk
2. Chris Eubank
3. David Icke
4. Tom Baker
5. Ozzy Osbourne
6. John McCririck
7. Patrick Moore
=8. Vivienne Westwood
=8. Sir Jimmy Savile
10. Uri Geller
11. Elton John
12. Clarissa Dickson-Wright
13. Ken Dodd
14. David Bellamy
15. Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
16. Neil and Christine Hamilton
17. Zandra Rhodes
18. Adam Hart-Davies
19. Keith Floyd
20. Johnny Rotten

Vespertine is one of the most beautiful records ever made, and if you disagree then you ain't got no EARS, foo'.
