A swedish rock and roll hall of fame?

[superman777]

I've never heard of Swedish rock'n'roll music.

Scandinavians do not know how to play it.

Rock music = Americanos thing.

Except Popeda and Yö, right?

Those are not rock-bands.

Hurriganes was perhaps the best Finnish rock-band

 

[assari]

Where do you live? Under a rock?

I live in Finland.

I was trying to say that the Scandinavians can play Rock'n'Roll music, but it is missing something.

The soul is missing, so it is a cultural thing.

 

[L3ggy]

I disagree.

 

[Supafly]

I think that local Hall of Fames are a waste of time.

The 'World Title' is what counts

 

[L3ggy]

And

When did Abba become Rock N' Roll?

I once heard a bootleg live version of "Does Your Mother Know". Some fine rock n' roll.

I think it is meant more as a regular museum, than a real hall of fame.

I can´t believe i forgot Ebba Grön, Imperiet (and Joakim Thåström as a solo artist).

sweden owns technical death metal in my opinion...some great ones have been mentioned but meshuggah also deserves to be included, love 'em or hate 'em they're on another level when it comes to technical rhythms and complex time signature changes

 

[STDiva]

I always liked Blindside. Good band.

 

[squallumz]

i just found out, my little sis can sing death metal..

and im not kidding. wtf do i do with that?

 

[STDiva]

Refused should be in, 100%.

We need new noise!! New art for the real people.

Has there ever been more truth in any lyrics, ever??

sometimes they go pretty far with their sound, but theyve been consistent. im sure in time, they will be in there.

for the u.s. hall of fame the band has to be around for at least 25 years, right? does the same apply for the swedish one?

find her a band.

According to the article it seems to be more of a museum of popular music from the 1920s and onward than a regular hall of fame.
I do hope they do something with those who never get any headlines, since Sweden is pretty big in the world of hardcore punk too.

Send her my way, no one around here plays/sings anything, let alone metal. Oh, and define "death metal" vocals.

Rawr.

Rawr.

Iguess I should be more specific, but its hard to describe. There's Johan Hegg's guttural bear growl, which is ideal IMO, then there's flat out screaming like Randy Blythe in the Burn the Priest days, and a shitload of stuff in between. Also, put At The Gates in the Swedish Hall of Fame.
