Awesome. Thos is probably one of the few see or roce, that's how you should pronounce it, I don't know. Amazing especially at the end. Unbelievable I don't hype anything up without reason but this band are the best band on the planet. I'm not joking
Coudlnt prase my ? right in that limited box... but basically what i meant was here in US, a "mainstream" music fan (who listens to pop/hiphop/country that is on the radio) most likely has either not heard of, or does not like, Sigur Ros.... I was wondering if, in Iceland, they are enjoyed by the same ppl that also listen to pop music and whatnot or if they are viewed, much as they are here, as a very different and more obscure band? Do Icelandic people consider them one of their greatest acts?
I've heard Jon say it a lot of times on videos/interviews; maybe its just the accent that gives it that long "I" sound to my ears. Hey, since you are Icelandic, maybe you can answer something i've been wondering- S.R. is obviously popular all over the world, but many seem to thnk of them as an artsy/experimental/cult-classic kind of band (most either love them or have never heard of them). In Iceland, are they very popular as a mainstream act, or are they more obscure?
ehhh agree and disagree... you're right-- its not quite see-or-roce... but on the other hand, i've heard people say it Sig-ur-Ross (w/ sig said like "cig"arrette), which is way off... if you hear one of them say it, its Seeg-or-Ros w/ that soft G and short S... sorry if im bein "that guy" haha just figured i'd shed some light
pronouncing it like "cig"arrette is the correct way, but you´re right that "Ross" is far off. It´s simply "Rose" just like you pronounce it in English, it´s the same word. I don´t want to be "that guy" either, but I´m Icelandic, can´t help it hehe.
