I have been listening to their albums almost non-stop for the past month or so, I just love them.
Anyone else appreciate them more than other artists?
and does anyone know of any similar artists with a similar type of sound?

It seems like Sigur Ros is fairly popular with the Björk crowd. I really like Björk, but I dont' know too much about Sigur Ros. You can preview some Björk right now at daap://68.116.235.23 if you want.

Sigur Ros are very talented and make great music. I recognize that, but they are not my cup of tea. Not enough 80s.

I heard Sigur Ros two days ago and could have sworn that it was Radiohead, but not in English . They seem to use the organ a little excessively, but I think the sound of the band is great.

I was playing their music in the home one evening and my wife asked me if it was Pink Floyed.

She doesn't care for Pink Floyd btw.

I have only heard one of their albums and I did enjoy it. Because there's so much music out there I lost track of them.

If thier music is easy to find they should become more popular. I haven't checked if they are in the iTunes store, but that would really help them along.

I bought their latest album and �g�tis Byrjun before that, and tried and tried and tried to like it... before finally giving up.

Hey, at least I tried. But they'll be part of my next CD trade-in.

ya. i downloaded a couple songs from epitonic.com, and it just didnt do much for me.

i like godspeed you! black emperor, antartica, and tristeza. theyre sort of in that same "ethereal" vein, but the sigurros didnt do much for me.

Sigur Ros is one amazing band.... their latest album, I found, worked wonderfully on incredibly snowy evenings this winter where the weather was absolute sh*t to drive in but made for some great burns nonetheless. Their previous album is a great spring and summer album.

If you'd like some other groups sort of like them, check out Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, or His Name Is Alive. ^_^ Or look up groups that might classify themselves as "shoegaze."

(My fav Sigur Ros song is Svefn-G-Englar. If you haven't heard that, download it or just buy the album!)

Just got 'Aegitus...' funnily enough, the song about 3 or 4 (Viorar? SP?) in with the pedal steel made my head melt, it's exquisite.
