Egó was an iconic Icelandic pop band that rose to prominence in the early 1980s and played a significant role in the country's music scene. The group, featuring charismatic frontman and vocalist Bubbi Morthens, alongside guitarist Mike Pollock, bassist Shady Owens, drummer Magnús Stefánsson, and keyboard player Wally (Valgeir Guðjónsson), was part of the upsurge in popular music coming from Iceland during that period. The band's sound was a blend of rock, pop, and new wave, and they quickly became known for their catchy hooks, meaningful lyrics, and a unique style that resonated with the youth of their time.

Egó's music catalog is filled with hits that have left a lasting impression on Icelandic music history. Their self-titled album "Egó" and songs like "Í mynd" are examples of their work that enjoyed great success. The group was known for their lively performances and the ability to capture the mood of the nation in their songs. Though the band has gone through various phases and lineup changes, the name Egó remains synonymous with a defining era in Icelandic music. While their active years were relatively brief, their impact was such that they have seen multiple re-releases of their classic hits, including "Breyttir tímar" and "Í mynd," showing a continued appreciation for their music by both old fans and new listeners discovering their legacy for the first time.
