dunno, you tell me, I haven't heard enough of them(him/her?) to be able to judge that. Btw, where is Sigur Ros from? Norway?

to be quite honest, i know just about nothing about sigur rós. except the music is beautiful, and i can't get enough of it.
and they play their guitars with bows, sometimes. it looks so good, it looks like it sounds good:P

sigur ros means victory rose, i *think*
it's jonsi's little sister's name.
favorite track though, is track 8/the pop song off of ( ), the live version of haffsol, and milano. just amazing live, all of them. ( ) and Ágætis byrjun are both so beautiful, it's too hard to decide, though leaning towards ( )

Sigurós is an icelandic name. Jónsi named the band after his sister because the band was formed on her birthday. Sigurós means Victory Rose (Sigur Rós)

i have to say, when they are good they are spectacular... but i don't feel like they've really explored to much ground this far... there are some really awesome standout tracks on both albums, but i never feel the need to listen to the whole album through (in either case)... some of the tracks just don't assert their individuality at all in my mind... here's hoping the next album is wild and adventuresome...

Ágætis byrjun is possibly one of the worst albums i have heard. the strings are tacky as and i really am not into it at all.
on the other hand () is seriously my favourite album of all time. it is beatiful, the songs are masterfully crafted, the production/and sound if full, rich, organic.
i love every second of that album (even the 45 secs of silence in the middle :) ).

von sounds much more noisey and drone-esuq and experimental than the other two from the small amounts of it that i heard. they also have done a soundtrack to a film about the homeless in iceland as well as a soundtrack called angels of the universe where they contributed 2 songs(i think). they also have a recycle album (remixes) by lots of other people.

i think that agaetis byrjun has their best songs. i was kinda disappointed with their newest ( ), it didn't seem to go anywhere new for them. though the last song was pretty damn good.
