I voted Zamla but Samla Mammas Mannas
Snorungarnas Symfoni then Bo Hanssons Lord of the RIngs then SMMs Klossa Knapitatet or Ragnaroks debut are the best studio albums from the 70s! 
great and necessary thread, but we cant comment on Wigwam or Pekka Pohjola from Finland; Aunt Mary or Host from Norway; Secret Oyster, Thors Hammer or Klaus Schonning from Denmark! Besides Bergt Berger from Sweden isnt here either!

Samla Mammas Manna!!... and its Zamla Mammaz Manna variation, of course, which I find even weirder and better - I am a challenge friendly listener. |

Anglagard is the best by far, after the 80's, when I had lost confidence in listening a great band again came Hybris and changed my perspective. Also Par Lindh (Pure Gothic Prog -my own genre. Swedish Prog' is one of y favorites. Iván -------------

Just realised a serious omission: Jens Johnsson - Heavy Machinery, Fission, extensive work with his brother Anders and Jonas Hellborg (and I don't mean with Yngwie Malmsteen or Stratocrapius), two tremendous recorded performances with Bill Berends guesting with Mastermind (i.e. Excelsior, Angel Of the Apocalypse).....................
And as they as touring the UK very soon it is worth mentioning EST!!! |

Pain of Salvation?
Paatos?

I agree. I saw and heard Anglagard live at Progfest 94. The best! You named some other great bands. Par Lindh Project, Anekdoten, and Samla Mannaz Manna. |

One of the Best Prog METAL bands from Sweden that is. |
Posted By: Eemu Ranta
Date Posted: April 23 2005 at 17:06
I bought their debut for a few days ago, and it really does a good job mixing Änglagård/crimsonic influences with alternative rock I otherwise don't touch. Not spectacular, but a decent and promising debut nonetheless. |

Err... I'm certainly not an expert in Swedish prog, so forgive my
ignorance, but: Weather Report?????  Is this a prog band named as
Zawinul's & Shorter's fusion supergroup, or is it a typo? Just curious... Otherwise, my vote goes to Anglagard --- I'm thankful to ProgArchives for making me discover them!

I also like these two but OT are definitely not neo-prog. They sound space rock to me. |

| Ozric Tentacles are probably the furthest thing from neo-prog I've ever heard. |

Kebnekaise is a classic, but i miss A.C.T in this poll!! It's hard to choose one though. Samla Mammas Manna, Fläsket Brinner, Bo Hansson, Hansson & Karlsson, Isildurs Bane... |

I voted for The Flower Kings, but Pain of Salvation is easily my
favorite Swedish prog band, with there amazingly unique and innovative
version of prog rock and metal

I can't believe Pain of Salvation and Opeth aren't on there.
Anyways, I would have chosen Pain of Salvation and Opeth as a runner up. ------------- The weak dress in hatred to hide their fear.. |

Jodå, plus Andromeda and Pain of Salvation... Anekdoten got my vote, but it's really a tie between them and Flower Kings. Andromeda, A.C.T. or PoS would've got it if they were in the list. Karmakanic seems like an intersting band, too! I'll try to keep a closer watch on them... nothing with Jonas Reingold could go wrong. ------------- www.geocities.com/joelbitars |

Anekdoten... ...but this list shows me how much Swedish prog is out there to try! ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson |
