Which albums from of Montreal, sigur rós and The National would you recommend? I've heard many people commend them.
As for Sigur Ros, Takk is their best, in my opinion, and is one of the more varied in terms of musical themes.
-Go for () if you like the slower builds and the enormous finales
-the first half of Meth suth i eyrum etc if you like the happier festive tracks with heavy percussion
-Valtari if you like the ambient-influenced, mellower stuff.
-Brennistein is their new EP, and it's darker and industrial.

Here's an across-the-board sampler of their tracks:
Glosoli (Takk): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz8iEJeh26E
Saeglopur (Takk): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOuKdeZ2x-M
Inní mér syngur vitleysyngur (Meth suth i eyrum...):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnHqGd-z7RU
Ekki Mukk (Valtari): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INWZy3-Vw80
Brennistein (Brennistein):http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oc6zXSdYXm8

And my favorite sigur ros related video - Hoppipola, from their DVD Heima.
