I used to be waay into Björk when I was younger, like from 15 to 18. Lately I haven't listened to her a whole lot, so I can only recommend stuff from the first three albums, which are all great IMO. My favourite is probably Post, the second one. Choice cuts: Hyperballad, The Modern Things, Isobel, I Miss You, Headphones.

Then we jump back to her first album, Debut, which is also fantastic, but a bit more 'clubby' in places and not so wildly experimental compared to the later albums. Still pretty eclectic, though. I'd check out the songs Human Behaviour, There Is More To Life Than This, One Day, Violently Happy, Anchor Song, Play Dead.

Then there is Homogenic, probably the darkest Björk album, with the most intricate beats and arrangements. Real ear-candy, but with a more organic feel instrumentally than the previous ones. From this record I'd recommend Hunter, Joga, Unravel, Bachelorette, All Neon Like, All Is Full Of Love.

Hope this helps somewhat.

Oh, and as long as we're on the subject of recommendations, I'm sure a metal afficionado like yourself would appreciate Mastodon's new album Leviathan. There's a big chance you've already heard it, but it has to be mentioned just in case. Too damn good to miss.
