You can't ignore Sweden's immense contribution to the indie-pop scene - these (especially the first pick) are all essential.

Some real good stoner rock here

Some even better stoner stuff here. Probably because its more metal than dozer.

Well, it's a good thing we came along at some point. I don't think the Konungariket Sverigean Chef would have had the same ring to it.

Oh, and I always posted, but I forgot the greatest Swedish album of all the times.

The Wild Hunt by The Tallest Man On Earth

Good timing this thread for me.

This.

One man and his guitar. Love his biting vocals, reminiscent of Van Morrison. The subtleties of the guitar playing is wonderful too. Accessible too.

Going through Sweden in album listening right now. Putting a lot of effort into music from Sweden. Aiming to have at least listened to 100 albums from the country before end of year.

Also it is a topic which has almost never come up. In fact, not once this year have I seen a thread ask what your favorite albums from Sweden are. See what you got. 😄
