Sweden produced a lot of inventive, fun and exiting progressive music in the 1970's-early 1980's. Pick a favorite act among my 25 favorite swedish acts of the classic era (unfortunately Made in Sweden didn't make the cut). Tell us your top three, five, ten - what your favorite album/albums are or whatever... If you hardly know any of these, you got a lot of great music to discover. I'll be back woth, lists, clips etc, but gotta go:)

Blåkulla's sole album is one of my favorite albums ever made rn.
Also, why isn't Kaipa on the list? Too obvious?

I simply don't like them (Kaipa), and this is my personal "top" 25 that I at least like or love one or two (or more) albums by. Love Blåkulla though.

As for myself I think its between the comforting, warm sounds made by either Merit Hemmingson, Bo Hansson or Björn J-Son Lindh. But I pretty much love the peak-era by all 25 of them.

Voting for just one here, or even if I could vote for three, feels wrong.

I guess my top three will be based on my gut right now will be:

- Björn J:son Lindh (Från storstad till grodspad is da bomb, and I love others)
- Anna Själv Tredje (Tussilago Fanfara is one of my my favourite progressive electronic albums)
- Bo Hannson (love Sagan om ringen and others.

Ragnarök, Kultivator, Älgarnas Trädgård, Samla Mammas Manna, Zamla Mammaz Manna and others would be easy votes if included in most PA polls.

Based on what I most feel like listening to right now, I'll go with Anna Själv Tredje.

Edit: updated with a few favorites I forgot: Now it's a "top twentyfive" swedish classic era albums, but its not written in stone:

Ragnarök - Ragnarök
Oriental Wind - Zikir
Merit Hemmingson - Huvva! (Trollskog is almost as great)
Kultivator - Barndomens Stigar
Bo Hansson - Ur Trollkarlens Hatt (but all four albums are wonderful)
Björn J:son Lindh - Ramadan (Cous Cous is equally great)
Turid - Bilder
Kvartetten Som Sprängde - Kattvals
Nya Ljudbolaget - Nya Ljudbolaget
Samla Mammas Manna - Samla Mammas Manna (like their two next too, but this is more to my taste)
Älgarnas Trädgård - Delayed (Framtiden är ett svävande skepp, förankrat i fortiden - also very good)
Arbete och Fritid - Arbete & Fritids Andra LP (love their debut too)
Archimedes Badkar - Tre (love their three first)
Kebnekaise - Kebnekaise (III is nice as well)
Anna Sjalv Tredje - Tussilago Fanfara
Pugh Rogefeldt - Pughish (Ja, dä ä dä is about equally awesome/uneven)
Kornet - Kornet
Vildkaktus - Vindarnas Vägar (Tidsmaskinen is quite lovely too)
Lotus - Lotus
Blåkulla - Blåkulla
Pop Workshop - Vol. 1 (if you like it, you'd enjoy Song Of The Pterodactyl)
Ibis - Ibis
Janne Schaffer - Janne Schaffer(Andra LP is good too)
Zamla Mammaz Manna - Schlagerns Mystik (but of course is just Samla)
Atlas - Blå Vardag

No Flower Kings, Anglagard, Anekdoten, etc? Did Sweden stop making good music in 1979? Tongue

I don't know many of these (Hansson, Ragnarök, Ibis, and Samla), but aren't Samla and Zamla pretty much the same band? Anyway, vote for Zamla as my favourite album of them is by Zamla.

Sorry, I could not properly vote in this, as I have only heard two of these artists, Flasket Brinner and Bo Hanson.
        I would like to give a shout out, though, for guitarist Janne Schaffer, who I think is a Swede, and was making some interesting music, including a group I like very much called Baltik, from '73.

Flasket Brinner needs a vote. Love their debut and I have a box set by them too. I'm surprised to see Lotus on here, I'm a big fan of two of their studio albums. Kultivator is awesome but then many of these bands are.

You do realize that most of them are unknown bands for the majority of us? How can we vote? I barely know 3 of them (MERIT HEMMINGSON, SAMLA MAMMAS MANNA, TRETTIOÅRIGA KRIGET) and I listen to a lot of Scandinavian music!

Love the debut of Ragnarock, beautiful melancholic pastoral songs, followed by Kultivator and Zamla Mammas Manna

I'm not interested in making polls with the stuff everyone knows about. Sweden has plenty of big names in prog from the 1990's and on, but their vibrant music scene in the 1970's isn't as known - and I think it deserves some attention. You can use my album reccomendations as a chance to get into a whole scene you don't know about., or you can vote for your favorite among the ones you know.

Yeah, pretty close to my top on this list, though I would've coupled Samla and Zamla.
I went for Kebnekaise , but Myrbein & Ragnarok are also right up there.

No Atlas??

Yup, I took a look at my Gnosis rating guide and indeed, it's mostly the post-90's that crowd my top swedish list.
Only Maltid (SMM), Ragna's debut & Framtiden (AT) are in my top 30, the rest being post-1991
I will have to remedy, resassess and readjust, because this situation perturbs me.
