Tot zover de sport. Qua cultuur heeft IJsland inmiddels ook wel wat meer te bieden dan nieuwe CD\u2032s van Bj\u00f6rk of Sigur Ros.

Its ok. It\u2019s a good start.<\/p>\n<p>However, I (and a fair few people on Twitter &amp; Facebook) thought that I could do a better job and that there were some omissions. Whilst I appreciate that this is a matter of personal taste, I\u2019ve decided to put my money where my mouth is. Well, here goes.<\/p>\n<p>The other website seem to imply that the more well known artists should not be included (Sigur R\u00f3s, M\u00fam, Bj\u00f6rk, etc, etc), and I agree with this sentiment. On this note I\u2019ve excluded \u00d3lafur Arnalds, Emil\u00edana Torrini, Gus Gus <i>et al<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>R\u00f6kkurr\u00f3<\/p>\n<p>Why?
