Has anyone of you been to concerts of any Icelandic artists ?
how did they do ?

OT? Or where is the Stonesconnection? Only icelandic music I can think of is Björk, and man, is she weird. Or to put it mildly, she sucks, probably in more ways than one....

Nordic Stones Vikings

u dont deserve an answer, i have to say

Because I think Björk sucks? LOL, I don´t care. Björk is´nt rock n roll, so I´m not interested. BTW, this is way OT.

what about that icelandic proverb, Every man likes the smell of his own farts?

I saw Bjork when she was with the Sugarcubes when they opened for U2 in Vancouver 1992. At the time, I didn't know who they were and I didn't care for them.
I recall seeing a video of Bjork several years ago when she is arriving at an airport and a local reporter asks her a question and she just loses it and attacks her!

Very true. Never liked that music either.

Haleluja.

we are talking of the most famous rock female singer in ther world,
choosen to open the last olympics, and the only thing you have to say is some dirt.

where is your rock connection ?

Ok, 6853. I'll give you name of one Icelandic group that I like: Ske.

Sigur Ros totally rule!!!

Oh, I think I misread your question. Not only do Sigur Ros rule but also rock live. They played close to my hometown in Poland last year and it was a very strong show. Bjork played in my hometown 4 years ago but I didn't go. I don't like her that much.

I thought the guy from Iceland in Rock Star SuperNova was the most talented.

Missed the cubes when they were in my hometown, alas, alas.
Guess I was zonked out somewhere.

I like Björk; but anyone who wants are free to suggest
album-starters...

The Sugarcubes played two month ago in Reykjavik for the 20th anniversary of the band.

I think you'd need to use equally disparaging comments about 15-20 other female singers if it means ruling them out in order to place Bjork as the worlds most famous female singer

For what its worth, I think Bjork is quite talented.

Isn't Emiliana Torrini half Icelandic? Top half or bottom half, I'm not sure, but I love her music.

she is icelandic, but has an italian father who married an icelandic woman and lives here.

hence the name
