Is Bjork the most (non-metal) artist covered by metal artists?

I've found literally hundreds of bands of different metal style covering her songs. And also many others outside in any possible genres, from jazz to classical, she seems to be universal in the world of music.

Examples:

I know that cover, it's awesome.

maybe the answer is just that Bjork's influence really reaches that far

i want to see someone do a remix of Triumph Of A Heart without the acapella instrumental and an actual instrumental, that would be interesting af

I can see a spiritual logic to Bjork and metal, in that the crossover is in the woodsy, nature-y, elf-y part of the DNA (that comes from metal's hippie and also European-centric origins, Zep etc.)

The wild and growing and woodsy is definitely still a persistent strain running through some metal and Bjork is kind of an embodiment of that, as electronic as she may get (actually electronic isn't exactly counter to that at all, looking at its history)

Triumph of a Heart cover found:

Bjork is simply the kind of artist who everyone is inspired from.
