...back catalogue of any band I can think of, and that's only four albums!

    Sigur Ros is one my favorite, too, but Fugazi has twice as many albums and I'd argue them over Sigur Ros.

    I'm gonna have to go a step further back from Fugazi and say Minor Threat. Their 26 song, 48 minute discography is distinguised for never being less than incredible. Too few bands know when to call it quits and stop before they start sucking. Minor Threat were perfect.


    Fugazi have a brilliant catalogue though.
    "I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"

    SR and Fugazi..both great..but totally polar opposites.

    I agree..SR keeps releasing strong records one after the other...

    Check out () ... It's my personal fav and the album that started my Sigur Ros obsession. The "lyrics" are neither Icelandic or English . They are all done in Hopelandic and are a common theme thru most of the songs.

    Agaetis Byrjun is also a great album and perhaps their darkest.

    I have grown to like Von, but it's mostly ambient noise... It does have some periodic brilliance... I like the track Hun Joro specifically.

    I love Sigur Rós and am glad they are seeing a lot of love.
    If I could, think I would give in.
