I've played many Sigur Ros songs to my friends and family, and none of them can understand why I like them so much. Are they such an aquired taste? In my opinion Sigur Ros produce real music and have just about any song to go with any mood, for example Staralfur is such an uplifting song, I play it whenever I feel down. What do you think of them?

I have a nasty feelin that I am related to your family or friends. I am always keen to try different musical styles, and having downloaded 3 tracks, I feel that Sigur Ros are the musical equivalent of watching paint dry. Aural Big Brother even.
The Nothing Song reminded me of a funeral, I listened all the way through and still couldn't decipher what he was 'singing'.
Unfortunately I ceased to smoke 4 years ago, if I still smoked I could go and get some serious weed, and this music would still make no sense.
I am afraid dtjay that you may be in a very small minority.
Where are they from?
they re from iceland, and im a massive fan, i love their music so much but it seems that no one else does, i find their music relaxing and interesting, one of the best bands ever!
Andy Boz maybe you couldn't understand what was being sung as i wasn't in English?

I think they are a great band, making beautiful music, but i realise that they are not to everyone's taste.
sigur ros are my all time favourite band. got all 4 albums and downloaded pretty much all of the songs that aren't on the album. seen them live twice and took one of my friends with me who hadn't liked what he'd heard until he saw them live and now he loves them. if you like sigur ros you may want to try other bands like 'mum' or 'amina'. most people nowadays only listen to music they can sing or dance to so they won't like sigur ros. unless its being used as soundtrack music for film or t.v, i.e: planet earth or vanilla sky etc
