This is toughest poll I've ever seen. Unfortunately I have only three first albums and love all of them equally. I voted for Klossa because I probably listen to it more often than to others, but all three are great. And the rest of their discography is on my wish-"very-much-wanted"-list...

| Its between Måltid and Familjesprickor. Måltid is one of those albums where the more you hear it, the more you can't help yourself giggle at all the insanity and absurdity (some more discreet than others, most not discreet at all!) Familjesprickor is less absurd, but it was written with the Zamla attitude, not the Samla. Klossa Knapitatet didn't impress me as much as the others, but that opening piano riff to Liten Dialektik is one of the instruments best. |

Måltid. This was the first of theirs I heard, and to this day remains my favorite. Wonderful and absurd, this is definitely prog with a wink and a nudge nudge (say no more). ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Nipsey88/?chartstyle=myspace02" rel="nofollow">

I really do wish I could participate in this poll, but I have only heard a few songs by the band  . I'm really going to have to get my act together sometime soon and buy their albums.

Måltid. But I love Klossa just as much.

Oh well, you really should!
Judging by your participation in other threads - you are very much into RIO/avant stuff, and this band is one of the brilliant examples of absurd, funny, yet beautiful avant music. You may try as well solo albums of Lars Hollmer, "Speechless" and "Gravity" by Fred Frith, band called "Ensemble Nimbus" - they are in the same vein but all are different and various.

Klossa Knapitalet 
(Actually a funny misspelling of "Krossa Kapitalet", which means "Crush the Capital")

Still Maltid for me ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

| Snorungarnus Symfoni or Matlid, both are brilliant! The most tongue n' cheek band this side of Frankie and the Mamas! |

Thanks for that, I'm definately going to be checking them out soon. I think the reason has been they are not overly availible hear in Australia, which is not surprising. I have heard "Gravity" by Fred Frith but unforunately don't own it.. from memory it was really good.
Well looks like from this thread my starting point should be Maltid or Klossa Knapitatet. From the songs I have heard they have a great sense of humour, which is something I love about the RIO style. Great thread btw.
