Beardfish were new to me, so hats off for that entry!

I'll continue my own spree with a couple of Blåkulla tunes:

I do hope everybody knows the difference between prog and progg.
It might not always be what you wanted.

I think that's purely a swedish phenomenom actually. I've lost counts of the times I've had to explain that I don't listen to "progg".

I'd feel bad for the person who expected prog rock and all they got was Philemon Arthur.

Baggs is here!

Baggs is THE Prog Masterman.

Baggs gots all the orig 70s Scandi vinyl in the collectro.

Why?

Because thats what makes a Prog Masterman.
..............
Lets talk about this "progg".

Here's something only a prog masterman would know:
Progg in Sweden was ANYTHING BUT UK prog-sound.
Foremost it was AMATEURISM. Hippy community-like.
Mainly it was political lyrics (in Swedish) - communism, feminism,workingclass revolutionists, baggism....

There were three divergencies of "progg". The most interesting to proggers is the one where there was a modicum of instrumental prowress and desire to create something different - bands like International Harvester , Arbete och Fritid and Trees,Grass & Stones.

Mainly though, "progg" is preachy, folky, verbose and sucks: Nationalteatern,Gunder Hagg,Dag Vag,Musikteaterngruppen...
