Out of this Algarnas Tradgard, but how could you miss the most obvious... ANGLAGARD??! ------------- "Mister Fripp, your music is quite different than everything else out there. In one word, how would you describe it?" "Progressive.... yeah, that's it..." |

All these are Sacandinavian bands from the 70s... SAMLA MAMMAS MANNA!!! SAMLA MAMMAS MANNA!!! SAMLA MAMMAS MANNA!!! Also their second late 70s version, ZAMLA MAMMAZ MANNA, and the early 80s spin-off VON ZAMLA. How does SMM sound like? A mixture of jazz rock, polka, Northern and eastern European folk, background music for circus acts, and some yodeling - clapping - humming - falsetto to make things even weirder. Yet, it's so articulate, that it makes you wonder how these guys could really do it -- join chaos and order in one and the same musical source. Coming soon: my review on SMM's 3rd album. |

None of the bands listed is in the level of ANGLAGARD, ANEKDOTEN or even PAR LINDH PROJECT. Iván

I wouldn't be so sure about it: SMM is an absolute moster, a monster whose every individual member is a total genius. Ask TFK's Stolt about the band's percussionist. Ask him if he considers SMM as a band not in the level of the 90s Scandinavian bands... specially after the shameful, disastrous 'Gravity' released by Anekdoten in 2003. Regards. |

Hi Cesar, glad to see you, but we disagree this time, I've only listened the self titled album and Kaka by SAMLA MAMMAS MANNA and no one really impressed me, not bad but not my kind of music, a mixture of genres that I can't get. In the case of ANEKDOTEN, Vemod and Nucleus are so impressive that who cares about Gravity, an album released long after the best years of the band had passed, even when is not as disastrous as you say, of course it's softer than the previous, but still rewarding. And Anglagard, IMO is the only band that can be compared in quality to Genesis. But that's only a matter of taste. Iván |

I have been pestering MAX@ to finish the Secret Oyster section (only one of four albums) I would have taken HAIKARA if it was on the list. |

If you put it up for public debate then it becomes our poll. But what is the point ofthis one, other than learning an anonymous minority folks at Progarchives like the same handful of bands you do - only reinforces your prejudices and with the risk of learning next to nothing about the bands you've not heard.
Too many bands missing (goodness you could at least taken the option to pick the full 25 ), for me to bother with this from now on. |

Another great Scandinavian band is Sinkadus. Very influenced by Anglagard, and their album "Aurum Nostrum" is, for me, the most beautiful made in Sweden.

I'v elistened to Samla Mammas Manna's "Klossa Knapitatet" the last two
days, and I have to agree with Ceasar Inca. Complex yet free form composition, melancholic and brutal, awesome. Of course they don't come close to Änglagård's magnitude, but their intentions are of other kind. You also missed some 70's finns: Tasavallan Presidentti, Tabula Rasa and Piirpauke. |

Many great Scandinavian bands are missing from this list but Wigwam is
one of my all time favourites so my vote goes naturally for them. But
really, where's Änglagård, Anekdoten, Höyry-Kone, Haikara, Tasavallan
Presidentti just to name a few..???  but like I said, from that list, WIGWAM gets my vote.-------------

Couldn't give my vote to (those damn) swedes, so I was left with two options, Pekka Pohjola or Wigwam. Wigwam it is... Being is an incredible album... But so is Pohjola's Pihkasilmä Kaarnakorva... I'm having second thoughts... Argh Too late. Cheers -Beau ------------- --No enemy but time-- |

As a Scandinavian, I beg all of you not to consider Opeth a Scandinavian group. They're swedish. -Beau ------------- --No enemy but time-- |

Huh??? To be perfectly correct, Scandinavia consists of Denmark, Norway and Sweden only. The Nordic countries however include Finland and Iceland as well. ------------- All the best, Per www.salvaband.com New cd: Salva "Left to burn", out now Available through: www.caerllysimusic.co.uk www.progressrec.com www.justforkicks.de www.salvaband.com |
