I got to know these two bands at the same time in the mid-nineties, my sister gave me hybris and vemod on cassette. I like both but anglagard is a slightly more appealing to me. What about you?

Vemod is a very appealing album. I vote for Anekdoten. -------------

A few years ago, I was trying desperately to find the Anglagard albums, and I ended up paying a fair bit for them. Along the way, I read that Anekdoten was even better. "What?!" I thought, "No way." But after acquiring the Anekdoten catalogue as well, I can say that, while I enjoy both, I listen to Anekdoten probably ten times as much as Anglagard. ------------- "I have seen the broken sky turn blue." http://gnosis2000.net/ratertodd.shtml" rel="nofollow - My Gnosis Ratings |

Anekdoten, to me, delivered an awesome debut album, and then got steadily worse and worse till I completely lost interest. Nucleus has 3 good songs and From Within only has one, the title track. Everything after that bores me to tears, they went from prog to soft rock. Anglagard on the other hand released 2 of progressive rock's best albums ever. period. Guess which one I voted for... |

| I respect Anekdoten very much, but Anglagard is an epoch itself, I think. |

Anekdoten sounds more of both modern and emotional, in my opinion. ------------- http://hanashukketsu.bandcamp.com" rel="nofollow - Hanashukketsu |

Sinkadus. But between those 2, Anekdoten by a hair. |

I don't think it's really fair to compare two bands, of which the other only functioned for a couple of years and the other is still going strong. Yet: Anekdoten are ok, but Änglagĺrd was amazing. ------------- http://soundcloud.com/osmotapioraihala/sets" rel="nofollow - Composer - Click to listen to my works! |

I like the way you think. How good is that Cirkus album by SINKADUS ?! Yeah it's good  I picked ANEKDOTEN of course but i love all three of these bands(yes i'm including SINKADUS). Should have called myself Sinkadotengard and moved to Sweden. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

My close vote tips it narrowly 19-18 in Anglagard's favour.

| If Anekdoten played instrumental music, I might have voted for them. The vocalist ruins much of it for me though. The music's beautiful though. |

 Anyway, I still stand by my original choice. Sinkadus>Anglagard and Anekdoten. Between the 2 involved in this poll I originally voted Anekdoten by a hair. Now I wouldn't know. It's really really close. The difference is less than a hair for any of them.

So wrong.  I've love the vocals of both Nicklas Barker (Berg) and Jan Erik Liljeström. Such charming accents!  Just wish they've give Anna Sofi Dahlberg lead once in a while! (Also wish she'd play her cello more!)------------- -- Frank Swarbrick Belief is not Truth. |

| I only know Hybris, and really love that album. I guess I have to get some Anekdoten, only heard a couple of albums on Youtube so far, so don't know them so well. I liked the fact that Anglagard actually sing in swedish... even if I can't understand a word they say. |

Anekdoten is such a beautifully dark band. One of my favorites. ------------- Crushed like a rose in the riverflow. |

Haven't heard a full album from any of these, but I've heard some Anglagard tracks, and I liked what I heard from them, so Anglagard for me. -------------

Anekdoten. I haven't found in Anglagard what seems to excite people so much. |

Both of them are the great bands. But Anekdoten is closer to me. ------------- om mani padme hum |

These days I like Hybris much more than when I wrote my first post. I tend to vote for Anglagard now How tastes can change sometimes

Anekdoten ........though I like the early Anglagard albums... but the newest one is too laid back for me.
