Stormkeeper said on November 28, 2002 18:09:
What kind of music is Brainpool? Pop or rock?
*Judith* are you talking about Joey´s very new album that was released this fall?
Santi said on November 28, 2002 20:06:
Brainpool is... GREAT!!!
Ok, I would say is pop, but some of their songs (That’s my charm, Every day, I feel good...) you could say is pop-punk :D
Well, I’m not good saying about music genres, I just like music :)

Abba, Andreas Johnson, Eva Dahlgren, Robyn, Stina Nordenstam, Lambretta, Bosson, Ace of base, Cardigans, The Hives.... maybe more!! ;)
Santi said on November 28, 2002 20:44:
My mother loves KENT!!! :DD
Especially the last album Vapen Och Ammunition. She doesn’t understand a word even in English, and thinks Swedish is a very weird language, but she likes a lot songs like “Sundance Kid”, “Dom Andra” or “Kärleken Väntar”.
She has asked me to translate all the lyrics into Spanish :DDDDD
roxlad said on November 28, 2002 22:06:
I think Patrik Isakson is great. I don’t know a lot about him but I do adore three songs in particulair:
1. Du får göra som du vill
2. Tilbage hvor vi var (duett med Christian)
3. Hos dig är jag underbar

hej! yes, I LOVE many swedish bands!
Patrik Isaksson, Eskobar, ABBA, Ace of Base, Robyn, Cardigans... just a few of them, as an example!
I‘m looking for Patrik Isaksson’s lyrics over the internet... I’ve found some, but I‘d like to get more!!! Does anyone know where I can get them?
And I‘d like to know some more about Thomas Ledin... I really like his songs, although I’ve heard just a few.
Cheers,
Flávia

n-Somnia said on December 23, 2003 07:59:
Abba
Europe
and I only know 1 song from both The Cardigans, and Refused (I heard they were Swedes, so...)
And any side project Rox-related. :P
Euro4Ever said on December 23, 2003 13:09:
Hmmm, Very Weird that so few people mentioned Secret Service.
They released like 6 albums in the 70’s- 80’s and had such Amazing songs as
“Flash in the night”
“10 O’clock Postman”
“Oh Susie”
“Let Us Dance Just a Little Bit More”
....And many others
Also a Group called Sonic Dream Collective.
Their “Gravity” album from 1996 was Amazing, and they sounded a lot like Ace of Base.
Stormkeeper said on December 23, 2003 17:41:
Euro4Ever: I like both SDC (later as Sonic Dream) and SS.
lvninabx said on December 23, 2003 18:17:
I like Army of Lovers almost as much as roxette. Not that keen on Alcazar though. Lets hope ’Bodies without organs’ Bards new project, will be better.
DaminehGessle said on December 23, 2003 19:25:
Are we supposed to just name people in the music business or whoever Swede we like?
I admire Markus Naslund and Stefan Edberg!
Euro4Ever said on December 24, 2003 01:39:
Also Vacuum
I Loved their last one “Starting Where the Story Ended”
Unfortunately, I did Not like Bard’s new project Alcazar.
And AOL’s “Obsession” still Sends Shivers down my spine everytime I listen to it. It’s a Masterpiece!!! :)
Anarem said on December 24, 2003 04:34:

My Favourite Swedes (in no particular order):
1. ABBA
2. Pippi Longstocking
3. Stefan Edberg
4. Peter Forsberg
5. Ingrid Bergman
6. Annika Sorenstam
7. Raoul Wallenberg
8. Neneh Cherry
9. Alfred Nobel
10. Carl Larsson

DaminehGessle said on December 26, 2003 06:41:
Anarem: Got no idea why I do not like Peter Forsberg. Maybe cause he is very good and aggressive and plays well against Canucks? I dunno :). But liked your Stefan Edberg rating :D.
Anarem said on December 26, 2003 07:37:
I used to like Edberg a long time ago. I would have named Bjorn Borg instead but he was way before my time, and I was too young to see any of his matches. So I named Edberg. He wasn’t the greatest player in tennis, but he was the only Swedish tennis player I could remember watching.
DaminehGessle said on December 27, 2003 05:51:
Heh... I later rented Bjorn Borg videos and watched the matches. He was an awesome player indeed. I dunno why I like Edberg more though. I remember I cried when he was retiring. Oh good old tennis... I remember the days I used to wear tennis earrings, necklace and carry my tennis shoes and my tennis equipment anywhere I went. My life was tennis, swimming, Roxette and Queen. I miss it soooo much.
StupidGirl said on December 27, 2003 16:19:
has anybody mentioned Caesar (formerly known as Caesar’s Palace)? I think they’re from Sweden, too and pretty cool. I just got another CD by them today
Stormkeeper said on December 28, 2003 14:48:
I´m amazed Buddaboys site is being run by Judith. Had no idea.
J, how are Joey Tempest albums? Are most tracks good/worth listen?
Stormkeeper said on December 28, 2003 14:50:
from the late 80´s: Lili & Susie ;)
I have their collection.
MiracleMan said on December 29, 2003 18:34:
Ingmar Bergman & Pernilla August. (The Best Intentions is in my top 3 all time favorite films.)
Jud (moderator) said on December 29, 2003 18:48:
jepp, Minna designed www.Buddaboys.com and I have translated it from Swedish into English, Spanish and German and have been updating it, replying to emails etc etc since April :) (Just added some replies to the “Ask Buddaboys” :P)
It’s, of course, nice and a pleasure to work for the girls Eva (Dahlgren), Mija and Greta (Folkesson), they are nice gals :)
And Joey’s albums are great, they are all pretty different, the first one, A place to call home, is more acoustic, the 2nd, Azalea’s place, has quite some synths and the last one, Joey Tempest is more rocky. I think he is a great song-writer and singer, can’t wait for Europe’s comeback: album and tour, hearing Joey’s voice live must be great!!!!
Santi said on December 29, 2003 20:48:
Oh well, about hockey, the Swede Tommy Salo had a wonderful match yesterday on NHL... I just love it when Calgary beats Edmonton :DDDDD
Go Flames!!!! :p
Lydz said on December 30, 2003 14:38:

Euro4Ever said on January 1, 2004 20:01:
LOL A Very Weird Question related to Army Of Lovers:
Has anyone here ever heard the album by
Pernilla Wahlgren “I Myself and Me”
How would you describe the music on it?
Who, except Bard, wrote songs for it?
I can’t even find the Tracklisting, and I never heard the album
Never really heard any of her music :( Did I miss alot?
Anarem said on January 2, 2004 05:08:
@Santi:
Tommy Salo is a good goalie, but I still can’t forget the 2002 Olympics in Salt Lake City, where Sweden was playing against Belarus, the puck bounced off Salo’s head... and into the net.
DaminehGessle said on January 2, 2004 09:03:
Haha ya!
Santi: Why do you like Flames??? I totally dislike them since they play so well and aggressively against Canucks. They get on my nerves.
jetjet said on January 4, 2004 18:10:
Henning Mankell (writer)
Marianne Fredriksson (writer)
Marcus Allbäck (soccer player)
Mari said on January 4, 2004 22:17:
Tommy Salo good? Well, look for statistics :)Brodeur and Kiprusoff rule! I like most Vancouver and Chicago. Vancouver has been my favourite NHL team for years and now I like it even more cos one of my fave players, Jarkko Ruutu plays there. Chicago is nice cos it’s one of the original six and one of the most talented guy in NHL, Tuomo Ruutu plays there.
RoxFanUSA said on January 5, 2004 00:47:
I love:
ABBA and related artists Gemini, Josefin Nilsson, Agnetha and Chess
Roxette
Ace of base
Peter the great aka Foppa
Too many others to list. :)
Oh and Max Martin. Yes not an artist but so nice to hear the Swedish sound on American radio.
Euro4Ever said on January 5, 2004 05:04:
Wasn’t Max Martin in a Rock Band called “It’s Alive” before Dennis Pop recruited him? I think it was released by Cheiron.
What about a Swedish 80’s Pop Group called Freestyle/Style? Tommy Ekman was a member, before he started producing stuff for others. I never heard them, but They look like Cheesey 80’s Music.
Stormkeeper said on January 10, 2004 09:33:
Euro4Ever: check out It´s No Secret (or was it It´s A Secret?) by Style from 1988 or something. Very catchy.
cheers.
BraidsMamma said on January 12, 2004 18:37:
It has to be Jolanda in my school.
I’m crazy about that girl.
powerpoplarry said on January 13, 2004 07:32:

DaminehGessle said on January 23, 2004 19:05:
Mari: Ruutu rocks hahahha. I just love it when he sticks his tongue out. I love it. Cool to hear someone from Finland likes Vancouver :D.
By the way, I brought this thread back up since I have a question from a swede: Does anyone have any idea where Magnus Norman is?
