I deleted it and decided Sigur Ros sucked.
counterpoint?

Sigur Ros is easily one of the most fantastic groups out there right now. They play a genre of music known as post-rock and the lead vocalist sings in a made up language known as Hopelandic (loosely based off of Icelandic). In terms of their albums, I would rank them like this:
1. Agaetis Byrjun
2. ()
3.) Takk
Sigur Ros definitely isn't for everyone but they make really beautiful music and they're absolutely fantastic live. Just watch this video and try and tell me they're not amazing...
