Best Records of 2005: #10 Sigur Ros - 'Takk...'

There’s nothing much to say about Sigur Ros – you either love ‘em or can’t stand ‘em (or haven’t heard of ‘em). I’ll readily admit that atmospheric Icelandic rock is a decidedly acquired taste, but Sigur Ros is one of the few somewhat successful rock acts that can lay claim to a truly original sound (and not just because of the Icelandic thing).
