Sigur Ros is a better band but I like F#A# more than Agaetis Byrjun.
>>66248499
Godspeed
gy!be by far imo
>>66248577
It's the opposite for me.
Godspeed have only one meh album, Sigur Ros have a couple meh ones and one bad one.
>>66248536
Boy if you don't
>>66248499
F# A# Infinity is probably the only good thing that came out of either of their discographies
>>66248499
Godspeed by far.
Sigur Ros' album manages that heavenly sound, but it doesn't really go anywhere.

Never checked out Von for some reason.
I don't really compare them.
Sigur Ros is a lot more ethereal sounding, and I treat it like dream pop. GY!BE is much more aggressive and I treat it like rock.

Don't really like either. Godspeed is generic crescendocore and Sigur Ros is only good if you're exceptionally toasted.

>implying creshendos are bad
>implying you shouldn't treat something differently than being cliched because it invented those cliches
>>66249152
That's untrue.
>>66249282
Godspeed made the crescendo cliche? Please leave.
i like gy!be more but sigur ros is still amazing
the one that isn't paulstretched coldplay

I think he means that Godspeed's sound has been ripped off and watered down by pretty much every modern post-rock band, but that doesn't mean the real Godspeed aren't still excellent
It's apples and oranges, really. GY!BE have a political/social message and they want to awake you, make you angry; Sigur Rós are pure aesthetes, they're way more varied sonically but they have barely any roots to the world of social discourse (to the point of eschewing discourse as a whole in some albums).
It's kind of like >>66249240 says. We should just be grateful we have them both desu.
People will call me pleb but definitely Sigur Ros. GYBE has always bored the hell out of me and I ususally like post-rock

Here's a story of when the two bands toured together, and Sigur Ros brought a full-sized organ.

I was at that show. It was one hot ass summer afternoon in Toronto and the band was doing an all-ages matinee after playing a 19+ show the previous night. Vic Chesnutt was supposed to open, but unfortunately he was too sick to play. As a result, Silver Mt. Zion played a longer set than originally planned. This show was from their 13 Blues for 13 Moons tour, and the song they introduce at the end of the clip showed up on their following album. Not that anyone cares.
