They're amazing live. I also saw Jonsi perform solo.

Iceland has sure produced some incredible musicians/bands. Bjork also comes to mind.

Untitled is still my favorite - but this is definitely a grower. Gorgeous. Life affirming. Poignant.

I actually don't listen to much older stuff at all any more (I am 67) - but I have super eclectic taste and am always looking for new and interesting things (except pop and hip hop that is!)

Check out The National.

Radiohead is always worth checking out - Cocteau Twins - so much more!
