Sweden!

[Dairenn]

I freakin' LOVE Swedish bands and recording artists. Long since Yngwie Malmsteen and Kee Marcelo, every time I turn around and "discover" a new band whose sound I love, but I've never heard of them--they are from Sweden! Right now, The Murder of my Sweet and Treat are assaulting my car stereo speakers at the moment. I'm about to pick up the new even Work of Art CD from NEH Records! Who're your favorite Swedish bands--currently, or of all time?

There are so many good bands from Scandinavia and as far as Sweden goes,,,I like Hammerfall and Seventh Wonder is top shelf. I'm sure there are more I could add, but I'll let MP go next.

I seriously initially thought of Ace of Base when seeing this thread. They were like a 90's ABBA, except more dance music-oriented.
