I can't pick individual tracks so I'm going to do my top 10 albums
(apologies to any Swedes reading this but I can't be bothered to check
for accents and things):
Well done to all those who could select mere tracks. Selecting those albums was taxing enough for me! |

Råg I Ryggen with their only album with the same name as the band itself from 1975, maybe not best in "prog manners" but my fav. Swedish album of alltime, a little Uriah Heep in sound but way cooler. I'm not in the mood of making a top ten list but Råg I Ryggen will allways be number one for me when it's about Swedish bands. Ragnarök will be on second place I think... Here you have my Top Two list ------------- *Dancing madly backwards on a sea of air* - Captain Beyond |

Have you heard the two albums they did after the MORTE MACABRE collaboration with LANDBERK? Nobody has to like the band, I just thought they might please your ears, as I checked out your fine selection of bands listed up there. Well... By the way, could you help me on this subject: I'm looking for a swedish 70's band, which had a classical panting as the album cover on one of their LP's, and the band's name was a date (like 30th November) or something. Do you recall such group/album? |
