Undeniably rapturous and delicately insistent... Is how I would describe the song and video you posted. Your description of their music hit the mark. When Bjork's Vespertine was released I felt somewhat betrayed that she had left behind immediately endearing songs for more atmospheric, interludes of sound. It was only after several listens to a few songs at a time that I was able to grasp the beauty of the whole. Then I couldnt stop listening to it all the way through in a single sitting. It is a pleasure to know an artist intimately like that. I remember coming to know Dead Can Dance in the way you have described Sigur Ros' work. Seeing Dead Can Dance live brought tears to my eyes more than once. Sigur Ros deserves to be respected in the same way, no doubt. That song was beautiful.:)

WOW! What an amazing final list! I am shocked and really happy that Elbow placed 2nd I absolutely think it deserves to be there. Sigur Ros, had made so many peoples lists that I am not surprised it ranked so high. Personally I dont hear what others do in it. A little suprised Beck wasnt higher on the list. Ive never listened to The Last Shadow Puppets before. I reckon I should give it a shot now. SpaceCadet, I had a great time with this thread, making my own list and watching as others posted theirs. It turned me on to alot of acts Id never heard of before. Thanks again for the very well done presentation. I wish I could have been here while it was all going down. But, we all have to work right. VIVA RULES!!!!!

Well, dern it. I gots to go to work now. This will give me something to look forward to when I get home...

:D

WORD!

This is fun Space Cadet... I am writting down albums names and previewing them on amazon.com as you list them. Thanks for doing this

I hear ya, theres been some pretty good albums listed already... Tons Ive never heard of. Makes me wonder if my list would be entirely different had I heard some of these.

Lots of albums with just one vote...

HOORAY FOR KISS!!!! Loved it! thanks for the laugh

I kinda thought the same thing... But its no where near as good as Z if you ask me. I really like the song Smokin From Shootin though

I know! Full of suspence... :)

WOOT!
