Ágætis byrjun
In 2000, Radiohead released the studio album "Kid A", marking a turning point in their musical style. Sigur Rós, with the release of "Ágætis byrjun" in 1999, became among the most well known post-rock bands of the 2000s. In part this was due to the use of many of their tracks, particularly their 2005 single "Hoppípolla", in TV soundtracks and film trailers, including the BBC's "Planet Earth". Their popularity can at least somewhat be attributed to a move towards a more rock oriented sound with simpler song structures and increasing utilization of pop hooks.
