This is true. The Finnish and Estonian languages are apart of the same family. I think of Scandinavia as Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. I never felt Finland were apart these countries.

You have to have at least 40 posts before you can participate in polls, at least that's how it was for me when I first started.
Considering your from Norway, do you listen, or have you heard of lesser known Norwegian, Prog acts such as Jaga Jazzist, Ulver and Shining?
I'm listening to Jaga Jazzist now and it's pretty good
Excellent, glad your enjoying them. Approve If your a Fusion guy, look no further. Delve into their catalog as much as you can, if you're really interested; a very rewarding experience. Jaga are just a fantastic blend of so much music that I love - Prog Rock, Post Rock, Jazz of course, and even a clear Electro influence in there as well. Though often regarded as more associated witin the Jazz world, they're extremyly eclectic and diverse, it's really hard to pin them down.
Which tunes were listening to anyway?
Lithuania, Airborne and Low Battery i think.

Some bands i really enjoy: Genesis, Pink Floyd, Yes, King Crimson, Van Der Graaf Generator, Opeth, Spock's Beard, Transatlantic, Camel, Jethro Tull, Rush, Porcupine Tree, ELP, Gentle Giant, Tool

I also like Jazz fusion like Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever, Weather Report, Jean Luc Ponty and Al Di Meola
 
You don't like The Flower Kings? Hmmm....but a good list you have there and some of my absolute favorites as well. Norway doesn't have a huge progressive scene, but my favorite Norwegian band is White Willow. There's something incredibly haunting in their music. One of my favorites.
 
Welcome aboard!
I forgot about TFK, i was a big fan of them but lately i havn't really listened to them anymore. I'll go check out White Willow.

I sincerely disagree with this statement! Norwegian music doesn't suck any more than music from other countries, IMO.

Too bad Norway doesn't have a big prog scene like neighbouring Sweden, could be that instead of all the black metal
OK, so the Norwegian prog scene isn't quite as big as the Swedish, but if your looking for Norwegian prog it's not that hard to find.
 
 
Here's all the Norwegian bands on PA, btw: http://www.progarchives.com/Bands-country.asp?country=153 Hope you find something to enjoy here (and from other countries too, of course. It doesn't matter where the music's from. The only thing that matters is whether you like it or notWink).
