Well I'll have to check out POS - for some reason I haven't really listened to them (maybe because I'm an old fart). But here's a list of some Svenska bands I like (there are definitely more) in very rough order:
Samla Mammas Manna/Von Zamla/Lars Hollmer (RIP) Änglagård Älgarnas Trädgård Mats Morgan Band Isildurs Bane Baby Grandmothers Pär Lindh Project International Harvester Kultivator Archimedes Badkar Zut Un Feu Rouge Katzen Kapell Ensemble Nimbus Trettioåriga Kriget Fläsket Brinner Life Ablution Trad, Gras Och Stenar Bo Hansson Anna Sjalv Tredje Solarplexus Garmarna
Tak!

I recorded this myself, POS with Daniel Gildenlow singing Hallelujah but the guy behind me obviously thought he could sing it better than Daniel  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlcLep-8KRk

Pain of Salvation, hands down! I live in South Africa, but went to see them two years ago perform live in Sweden. This is how much I really like them   I own most their albums in hardcopy  hugs

The mighty Opeth. Anekdoten, Edge of Sanity, Meshuggah, Cult of Luna and others are also great.

The Trettioåriga Kriget lyrics are mostly in Swedish and are very nice! Their lyricist Olle Thörnvall was originally a guitarist who suffered an accident just as the band was gaining momentum in the early 1970s. He stayed on for the duration, writing lyrics only.

Kultivator! Dungen!, Pugh! (two first reccomended)... + Vildkaktus... infact a great progband not on PA. I only have Vindarnas Vagar from 1971. Folky jazz-prog with Yes-like harmonies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsxLV_0x7j8 |
Thanks! I'll be checking them out as soon as I can.

Prog bands from Sweden reighn supreme -,I listen to many, but not all - always I think of Anekdoten, Landbertk, Anglagard Landberk, but Flower Kings are superb, and you can count Zheul as a separate entity to all this commotion ............

No I don't please tell me 
Krigssang is much more relaxed, less heavy than that nuclear debut but for me just as enjoyable. My version includes a track called Murar which is maybe TK's best moment, I'm not sure all versions including the original album has that track and it's really a shame, though I may be confusing it with another track  |
You see I don't remember that at all. At least not them being less heavy. Anyway, the trouser thing: hard to put into words, but it's when you get some zing out of the equation - the track goes SWISHH and goes totally ballistic or perhaps the opposite.

I like Trettioåriga Kriget, but they've never really put their hands down my trousers, if you know what I mean. Great, heck fantastic music to throw on the stereo, if you're entertaining your old high school buddies and mostly focused on drinking beers and shooting pool. I may have to revisit Krigssång though. It's been a while (to say the least).

Pugh is a name I've heard of before but never checked out, thanks. I do own Kattvals and while I dig it for a little afternoon coffee delight, it never really blew my socks off. Very nice organs though.
Oh and I almost forgot one of the most bizarre Swedish records in my collection: Joakim Skogsberg - Jola Rota. Something like a Swedish take on Kluster recorded in a dark and damp forest.

Fläsket Brinner

... so are his two following albums Ramadan & Cous Cous
- both Kultivator and Nya Ljudbolaget's one off are out of this world fantastic. Another one is Kvartetten Som Sprangde's Kattvals.
As you too like Dungen you should check out Pugh's two first: Ja, dä ä dä from 1969 and Pughish from the following year (he kind of lost his wildly progressive jazz/psych-edge shortly after) as they have lots incommon.
Stinsen Bro is just insane (while not the most Dungen-like): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2dUZiyd1_g
