shipoffools Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I keep meaning to check out this band. Where's a good place to start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 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.

Tnspieler1012 Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 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. you can watch the show here (windows media stream) 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.

A RUSH OF VIDA Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnspieler1012 Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 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... YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.
