Nope, they are awesome. :wacky:

I keep meaning to check out this band. Where's a good place to start?

Probably Takk... followed by Agaetis Byrjun, all their albums are amazing though. But the general consensus is that these two are the best. ( ) is darker, minimalist and post-rocky, and meo suo i eyrum... is their most accessible and upbeat album.

Okay, I'll check out Takk later on today. :)

we should open a thread with the same recommendations over sigur ros instead of posting them every ti,me

I know. I'll we should just copy and paste for now on.

sigur rós win quiz show

 

13 June 2009

 

sigur rós competed in the icelandic music quiz show popppunktur last night. on popppunktur two bands compete against one another answering questions about pop music. sigur rós minus jónsi (overseas at the time) went up against the 80s pop group áhöfnin á halastjörnunni and won 31-15, correctly answering questions about manic street preachers, dolly parton, eurovision, rolling stones, frank sinatra and simply red, to name a few. fun segments included kjartan making a surprisingly impressive long jump towards an easy question, and sigur rós having to perform an impromptu version of an old song by folk pop singer bubbi morthens.

sigur rós will compete on popppunktur again later in the summer when the semi-finals start. other bands competing this season include múm, fm belfast and sprengjuhöllin.

best icelandic album

 

19 June 2009

 

as ágætis byrjun celebrates its 10th anniversary it has just been voted the best icelandic album of all time in a survey by the icelandic national radio and tonlist.is. the list of the 100 best icelandic albums was based on the opinion of 100 experts the press and music industry as well as a public vote. in addition to ágætis byrjun, með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust was in 9th place and takk… was in 20th place.

a similar survey on the best icelandic albums was conducted in 2001 with the same conclusion: ágætis byrjun is the best icelandic album of all time.

What song do u guys think i should hear??...ive never listened to them before but i want to cause all u guys say their good

here are some previous responses to that very question ;)

 

 

their most accesible ones(albums) are takk and með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust

but for me their best is agaetis byrjun

listen to hopippolla first, if you like it then we talk

 

I also suggest checking out Svefn-G-Englar, Viorar vel til loftarasa, Olsen Olsen, Glosoli and Saeglopur.

 

gobbledigook and Við spilum endalaust suppose... I suggest for now Inní mér syngur vitleysingur if you like it come back for more suggestions

 

give these a try...

PS: chris, your avi :lol:

coincidentally... :lol:

their most accesible ones are takk and með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust

but for me their best is agaetis byrjun

 

same for me

and the EP Hvarf/Heim is so great and amazing

i'm into Sigur Ros for 6 months and i really like this band soon as much as Coldplay maybe :thinking:

I like them even more

It's hard to compare them for me, but they're both in my top 5 :wacko:

they are in my top 2

Mine too, actually :P

when i think about sigur ros, i like the arrangement of their songs. POWERFULL!

Love this song.So beautiful.

The dolls freak me out tho.

[ame=

[/ame]

I like them even more

 

:stunned:

ok, well anyway they deserve this place but Coldplay is Coldplay and i can't replace it

anyway Sigur Ros counts alot too :)

Well in fact I prefer radiohead than coldplay Ahlem :P

and yes the viorar vel til loftarasa vidoe freaks me out too :uhoh:

^It's such a sad video. :bigcry:

I prefer the takk era ones, and also the vakka one

All of their videos are incredible. But yes, the Takk era ones are the best! :nice:

no the ones for the newest album are not that good, kind of boring

By the way an Artist named Ricardo Arjona, is using the viorar vel til loftarasa video as a background for one of his songs, that talks about discrimination toward gay men
