Is there ANY decent scandanavian music other than house music?

Title: Re: ABBA Reunion
Post by: Speelgoedmannetje on February 22, 2005, 03:21:50 PM

@MDMA
Well, there's Jean Sibelius, and there's Grieg,
and probably a hell of a lot more

Title: Re: ABBA Reunion
Post by: odin on February 22, 2005, 03:29:57 PM

Er...where to begin....
/me takes a look at his CDs...

Apocalyptica
Mari Boine
Blåmann
Desertplanet.com
Gartnerlosjen
Gjallarhorn
Gåte
Hagalaz' Runedance
Hammerfall
Hedningarna
HIM (yes..I know...debatable :)
Kaizers Orchestra
Madrugada
Múm
Sígur Rós

That is...if you include the Icelanders and Finns :-).
-edit-
Hmm indeed, got some Grieg in there too. And tonight I'll be seeing a really cool (or so I've been told) Swedish band called Audrey (in O'Caelleighs).

Title: Re: ABBA Reunion
Post by: Speelgoedmannetje on February 22, 2005, 03:31:40 PM

Finns ARE Scandinavians, aren't they :-?

Title: Re: ABBA Reunion
Post by: odin on February 22, 2005, 03:33:57 PM

That is an ever ongoing question, as to what Scandinavia is :-). I think the most accepted definition is that Scandinavia is N/S/DK, while 'Norden' (as in 'Nordic') includes SF, ISL and Greenland (and the islands such as Færoer, Åland, Svalbard (technically SF though IIRC) and stuff).

-edit-
Oh and don't forget the Scandivians in Amigaland such as Dr. Awesome :-).

Title: Swedish music?
Post by: PMC on February 24, 2005, 12:54:22 PM

There's one other forgotten Swedish atrocity (he is Swedish IIRC)

Dr Alban:

He who memorably inflicted "It's my life" on us back in 1992.

Doh!

Off course. This album proves it:

Now I can't get "Move your car" out of my head! :-D

Yes, the brutal invasion of Scania back in the 1600s! :pissed:
I wish the U.S. (or Denmark :-P) could come and liberate us!

Err...

Yeah, Dr. Alban is "Swedish". :-)

Anyone remember "The Cardigans" with "Love Me, Love Me" (1997)?

YARGH!

See it like this:
You think you've heard a song much? Think of us poor {bleep}s that actually live in Sweden. It's impossible to listen to radio (with the exception of a few state-run channels) and not turn it off immediately; they're simply playing the crap over and over again. Whatever you get, we get it tenfold. :-(

Post by: Speelgoedmannetje on February 28, 2005, 12:02:05 PM

What do about us Dutchies then? Or what about Germans?

I think you've heard nothing yet :-D :-P

Better enjoy the borderline humour about it (though that humour can be nervewrecking)

Haha!
Dutch schlager is a horror that I thought only existed in books! :lol:

No, the books were no fiction (http://www.amiga.org/images/subject/icon26.gif)

Btw. I wonder if the Geneva convention is applicable to these performed atrocities, and whether a tribunal can be installed for this :-?

>Dutch

Maywood is a duo from Dutch with similar genre:
"Mother How Are You Today"
"Give Me Back My Love"

Anyone remember this duo / songs?

The germans have no right to moan about any music at all, as they actually bought records by David Hasselhoff by the bucket load! :-o  :-?  :lol:

Shame really, as there has been some fine music to come out of Germany in recent years.

-edit

And the Dutch, well Patrik Prins comes from Holland so I forgive you for any other rubbish you may have churned out.  :-D

Sígur Rós are great, but I don't know that I consider Iceland part of Scandinavia. Not for me to decide though. ;-)

Sweden was of course home to the legendary hardcore-punk band Refused. :-)
