Swedish prog "feel"

I've always said that if you use one hour of music to represent Sweden, exactly 2/3 of it will be Edge of Sanity's Crimson. The melodic development, crystal feel, and cold toughness can be witnessed in other Swedish music.

From reading this thread I feel pretty proud of being swedish!

Let's not forget that the swedish music wonder extends itself to other sorts of music to. As mentioned earlier much of the comercial mainstreem pop is written in and by sweds.. Lady Gaga works alot with a swedish producer called Red One for example. But then we have the swedish deathmetal scene to, both a Gothenburg(At the Gates, In Flames) and a Stockholm(Entombed, Dismember) sound. And don't forget that we got some of the leading bands when it comes to retrorock to. Hellacopters, Graveyard and the likes.
