Tracing Sigur Ros and their music career

Sigur Ros was formed as a collaboration between Jón Þór "Jónsi" Birgisson, Georg Hólm, and Ágúst Ævar Gunnarsson, with the band’s name meaning Victory Rose in Icelandic, derived from Jonsi’s younger sister Sigurrós. The band released its first album, Von, in 1998, but failed to make any significant impact at the time of its release.

The band achieved critical acclaim with their second album Ágætis byrjun, released on 12 June 1999. While unable to compete in the traditional charts, the album received praise from fans across the globe, becoming a cult classic in the following years.
