Can anyone suggest a Sigur Ros album to start with?
() is a personal favorite. The album is unique because the lyrics are written in a language that the band created. The entire album is just brilliant, but the highlight is Untitled Track 4 (The Nothing Song). That being said, everything they do is gold. Ágætis Byrjun and Takk are great next steps and they're new double ep Hvarf/Heim has some studio recordings of live favorites as well as live recordings. Hope this helps ;D
Takk...is the most accessible, IMO. And I agree that everything is gold.
A great place to start with Sigur Ros is watching the "Heima" film. It's fantastic!

My favorite albums by my favorite bands performing:
Metallica - Master of Puppets (this is the one you need if you're searching for the good stuff) Pearl Jam - Vs. (though that live at the gorge set is the best place to start for 'roo purposes) MMJ - It Still Moves Robert Plant and Alison Krauss - Raising Sand Death Cab - Transatlanticism MIA - Arular BSS - You Forgot it in People Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun THE FIERY FURNACES - BLUEBERRY BOAT (didn't see this one mentioned, one of the best albums of the 2000s!!!) Battles - Mirrored !!! - Myth Takes Umphrey's McGee - Anchor Drops Against Me! - Reinventing Axl Rose Ben Folds - Rockin' the Suburbs MGMT - Oracular Spectacular (though I agree they don't have it as a live act) Ladytron - Witching Hour Ghostland Observatory - delete.delete.i.eat.meat Iron and Wine - Our Endless Numbered Days
Other favorites such as Phil Lesh and Yonder Mountain - stick to the Live Music Archive.
Karma to whoever mentioned Strength in Numbers' Telluride Sessions!
Metallica - And Justice For All (IMO, the best metal album not made by Sabbath) Talib Kweli & Mos Def - Blackstar (Yeah, I know it's not Blackstar, but I still think it's Kweli's best material) Battles - Mirrored Sigur Ros - Agaetis Byrjun Levon Helm - Dirt Farmer BB King - Live at Regal Mastodon - Blood Mountain (surprisingly good.) Extra Golden - Hera Ma Nono NOMO - New Tones Ghostland Observatory - delete.delete.i.eat.meat. Pearl Jam - Vs. Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings - 100 Days, 100 Nights Solomon Burke - Definitive Soul Collection (I know, not an album, a comp, but you cannot go wrong with this collection.) Two Gallants - Two Gallants My Morning Jacket - Okonobos (soooooo much better live band than they are in the studio.) The Coup - Party Music
