#3. Jonsi - Go





Is there anyone more unique and eccentric when it comes to music than Sigur Ros frontman Jonsi? Probably not; though Sufjan Stevens might come pretty close. They both do wear a lot of bird feathers... hmm? Sometimes I think that when you push the envelope away from what people consider to beautiful in music, one makes an album that really is just horrible. In my opinion, an artist can over simplify an album as well as clog it up with "creativity." Jonsi isn't one of those artists. His eclectic stylings, soft vocals, and uplifting lyrics that seem to talk about life's endless possibilities ("Go Do") come together beautifully on his album. Every aspect blends so well with each other to create a fantastic album.

Favorite Tracks: "Go Do," and "Tornado."
