Swedish Albums Poll

And then, my vote goes to Tages. A fantastic album that went largely unnoticed outside Scandinavia back then, but which has gotten a lot of attention later on.

refused

raw like sushi runner up

Bathory nothing else is even close.

Oh wait I didn't see Bo Hansson.

where is Epicus Doomus Metallicus by Candlemass?

Somewhere giving space to "Nightfall" instead, as Nightfall seemed to be the one scoring the best in terms of a combination of being well-known (number of ratings) /high rated (average rating)

fucking messiah fans

refused, sorry bathory

No Sagor och Swing, no credibility.

LJ isn't around to vote Meshuggah, someone should do it for him.

no actually nobody should vote meshuggah ever

Voted Roxette. Nothing has nothing on Destroy Erase Improve, though. Some of those metal choices are... odd.

It's not like Geir knew what to pick, jeff.

this is like a postwar greek composer poll

Metal fans are probably split between 40-50 different acts anyway, so just had to pick the most well-known of them. That is, Opeth (obviously) and a few others.

Refused

[Q.]this is like a postwar greek composer poll [/Q.]

How so? In that the obvious answer is Roxette?

Norwegians understand Swedish almost perfectly, is that correct?

Where is Whale in this list?

Would have voted for Studio.

The band that is, not the album by Tages (who I've never heard of)

Norwegians understand Swedish almost perfectly, is that correct?

Yes. I believe these albums are largely English language though. Would make little sense to include Gyllene Tider, Secret Service, Vikingarna, Lasse Stefanz, Sven Ingvars, Björn Afzelius, Ulf Lundell, Imperiet, Ebba Grön, Dag Vag, Adolphsson & Falk, Freestyle and Håkan Hellström just because they are big Swedish names singing in Swedish. :)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Presume Denmark's next on your list?

Don't know Danish music well enough. Swedish music has had such an internationally widespread popularity, plus Norwegians have also always had a lot of fascination for Swedish culture.

Denmark is more, like, a country we travel to with ferries and eat Danish brunches and sausages and walk the "Strøget" street up and down. :)

I love that Bo Hansson album so much. I can't find any of his other stuff. Why weren't his other albums based on works that were later adapted as insanely huge movie franchises, meaning they had to be reissued for tie-in potential?

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

i'm just glad xenakis won

Quite a spread there. Hope the vote for "The Final Countdown" was a joke vote.
