I honestly can't take a lot of each band but have a huge appreciation for both. This one is really hard, I need more time.

Leg End and In Praise of Learning have got nothing on the Icelandic Gods of mesmerizing post rock. Sigur Ros for me.

I prefer Ros. Never cared for Cow. Except, medium-rare with a baked potato.

A little outside my realm but I do enjoy a bit Sigur Ros, so they get my vote.

I have to admit that what I heard of Sigur Ros (besides "The Rains of Castamere"
) didn't set my world on fire. Henry Cow, while not a particular favourite of mine (I prefer Univers Zero when it comes to RIO), are closer to my taste, so my vote goes to them.

Sigur Rós. One of my favourite bands.

Love Sigur Ros and pretty much have everything by them, they remain one of my bucketlist bands BUT Come On!! It's Henry Cow!! They are one of the original 5 RIO bands that created the sub-genre, and arguably the most important!! HC for me.
