Huh??? 
To be perfectly correct, Scandinavia consists of Denmark, Norway and Sweden only. The Nordic countries however include Finland and Iceland as well.

Couldn't give my vote to (those damn) swedes, so I was left with two options, Pekka Pohjola or Wigwam.
Wigwam it is... Being is an incredible album...
But so is Pohjola's Pihkasilmä Kaarnakorva...
I'm having second thoughts...
Argh
Too late.
Cheers

Many great Scandinavian bands are missing from this list but Wigwam is
one of my all time favourites so my vote goes naturally for them. But
really, where's Änglagård, Anekdoten, Höyry-Kone, Haikara, Tasavallan
Presidentti just to name a few..??? but like I said, from that list, WIGWAM gets my vote.

I'v elistened to Samla Mammas Manna's "Klossa Knapitatet" the last two
days, and I have to agree with Ceasar Inca. Complex yet free form
composition, melancholic and brutal, awesome.
Of course they don't come close to Änglagård's magnitude, but their
intentions are of other kind.
You also missed some 70's finns: Tasavallan Presidentti, Tabula Rasa and
Piirpauke.

Another great Scandinavian band is Sinkadus. Very influenced by Anglagard, and their album "Aurum Nostrum" is, for me, the most beautiful made in Sweden.

not good enough for the list, sorry my poll ! |
If you put it up for public debate then it becomes our poll. But what is the point ofthis one, other than learning an anonymous minority folks at Progarchives like the same handful of bands you do - only reinforces your prejudices and with the risk of learning next to nothing about the bands you've not heard.
Too many bands missing (goodness you could at least taken the option to pick the full 25 ), for me to bother with this from now on.
