#19 Megas - Silfurskotturnar hafa sungið fyrir mig

Best Icelandic Music 2012-08-14 | Megas (born April 7, 1945 in Reykjavík, Iceland), is a renowned rock and roll singer, songwriter and writer.
At the beginning of the seventies, his music works were not accessible to the audience as Megas only performed them to his friends of the left-wing circles. However in 1972, Icelandic students in Oslo, Norway helped him release his first album, in which diabolic and satiric lyrics were accompanied by a mild acoustic music played by Norwegian folk musicians. This work caused controversy and was his music was banned by the Icelandic national radio, but Megas became a cult figure in the growing alternative scene.

#3 Maus - Life in a Fishbowl

Best Icelandic Music 2009-07-15 | About the band :
won the Icelandic battle of the bands in 1994 and have released five albums.

Lyrics :

spending the rest of our lives,
swimming in circles,
chasing our own tails.
compare reflections of our scales,
silver in moonlight,
iron by daylight.

we forget who we are in 15 seconds time,
and after a while a year has gone by.

always hoping to catch our own sparks,
in the blank eyes of others,
who just return what was offered.
and then we can't see,
though we focus our eyes,
through our little fishbowl,
only our watered-out egos.

we forget who we are in 15 seconds time,
and after a while a year has gone by.

we choose to accept all the same old songs,
choose to accept this exact same day,
the same today as yesterday,
the same old things as everyday,
the same today,
the same old thing.

we choose to accept this same old month,
choose to except this same old year,
choose to except this same old tired round.

...og aftur og aftur og aftur og aftur og aftur og aftur
...og einu sinni enn...

#1 Amiina - Rugla

Best Icelandic Music 2009-07-15 | First song on my list that will hopefully be huge, Amiina will probably be the biggest name in here since i won't be uploading Sigur Rós or Björk, mostly because of copyright infringements. If you stumbled across this video then check back soon for more.

The song's name is Rugla and is from the album Kurr. Buy it if you like what you hear.
