After having thinking more about it, I switched Germany and Italy, and Spain and Poland - it ain't easy with this ranking, but after having thinking more about it, I'm more aware of how much I'm fond of the albums from each country, and what I think about them.

I'm only familiar with Agamemnon and Vollenweider on this list. Vollenweider have I been much fond of for a lot of years, but not so much anymore, contrary to Agamemnon. How did you get so much interest for Swiss Prog? |
