This is a last part of my "Non" polls, this time it's not just about Swedish Prog without their "national" subgenre, but without all subgenres around Metal. ------------- A Elbereth Gilthoniel silivren penna míriel o menel aglar elenath!

Voted Kaipa for their 70's work, though their newer stuff is alright to. Others I enjoy are Atlas, Beardfish, and of course Anglagard. -------------

I'm enjoying Brighteye Brison right now, this is very coherent, pleasant and sophisticated Symphonic Prog music - not as boring as The Flower Kings and not as cold and aloof as Anglagard. Especially the last two BB albums are real masterpieces!
It's a pity they're somewhat neglected on this site. Probably because they're just overshadowed by above mentioned?  ------------- A Elbereth Gilthoniel silivren penna míriel o menel aglar elenath! Na-chaered palan-díriel o galadhremmin ennorath, Fanuilos, le linnathon nef aear, sí nef aearon! |

It's between Algarnas Tradgard, Kebnekaise, Bjřrn J:Son Lindht, Arkimedes Badkar, SMM and My Brother the Wind. Today I am going with Algarnas Tradgard  ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Went with Anekdoten, although I love Magic Pie's first album (the one with the apple). Haven't really absorbed their later material yet. |

Anglagard all the way! I'm appreciating them more and more as time goes on. The only modern Symph Prog I can really tolerate, really.  I love me some of that Samla and Brother Wind too.

Missing in Action: - Dungen - Bo Hannson - Landberk In any case, Anekdoten, with Anglagard close behind. ------------- Frank Swarbrick -- "The fact of the matter is it is what it is At the end of the day we can certainly all agree That your Working American Family gives 110% post-9/11." -- 3rdegree (2012) |

Landberk would be in my top three behind Anekdoten and Anglagard. The Swedish holy trinity.  ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

As a swedish person who has progressive rock as a favorite genre, I must say my country's version of prog is surprisingly boring. I mean srsly, I couldn't find ONE band worth seeing on "Sweden Prog Fest". That's just sad, and strange. The only one here that I actually enjoy is "My Brother the Wind". Their first album was really good and their last was even better due to the extended variation in the soundscapes and use of more different instruments. Maybe not my favorite band at the moment or whatever, but they are great and I'll buy their next album or attend any show nearby without thinking twice. ------------- My band's Reverbnation page, for people who like keyboard-driven symphonic/progressive-ish rock :D http://www.reverbnation.com/oracleswe |
