I thought I’d start up a small thread on everyone’s favourite 5 Swedish exports in music. Roxette is obviously on the list of everyone here, otherwise you wouldn’t have signed up. :P So I guess that technically I’m really asking your Top 4. ;)
Here’s my Top 5 list of Swedes (in no particular order):
1. Roxette
2. Gyllene Tider
3. Europe
4. Ace of Base
5. Abba
How about you? :)

@Judith, GT had a no. 1 with “Flickan i en Cole Porter Sång” in............. DANMARK!! ;DDDDDD
I guess anyway that he refers to fav Swedish artist, plainly. Marie Fredriksson was never a real “export”.
So... and the winners are:
1.- GARMARNA (even if many don’t know them, this is a real “export”)
2.- KENT
3.- GYLLENE TIDER
4.- BRAINPOOL
5.- ROXETTE
Jud (moderator) said on August 26, 2003 21:52:
yeah well there are many Swedish bands that have got number 1 in many countries, so I would not really consider GT as a great export :P
Also MF + PG have sold in Scandinavia, but I don’t think they are the greatest export either ;)
you can choose among many :)
ABBA + co, Rox + Co, A-teens, A Camp, Cardigans, Ace of Base, Antique, Backyard Babies, Neneh Cherry, Eagle-Eye Cherry, Dr. Alban, Eskobar, The hellacopters, kent, Lambretta, Meja, Robyn, The sounds, the sountrack of our lives, , Joey Tempest, Europe, Titiyo, Army of Lovers, Andreas Johnson, Eric Gadd, Stakka bo, Alcazar, Brainpool...
just to mention a few ;)
Santi said on August 26, 2003 22:00:
You forgot “Garmarna” :P
Well, and The Wannadies, Lisa Miskovsky, Standfast, The Ark, Yngwie Malmsteen...
To name some others :D
