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...
