Stockholm Syndrome

... is a fantastic song by Muse, and a concept that's quite intimidating. Look it up, if you're interested. The song or the concept, either way...

Stockholm is a great city, I really love being there. The people in Sweden are in general really sweet, but in Stockholm it's so much more than that!The people are genuinly nice, if you need help you'll get it, 'cause they actually want to help you!
In my opinion, Stockholm should be named as one of the fashion capitals of the world, and IS actually a fashion capital of the Nordic countries. But not only do the people of Stockholm dress well, they are incredibly artistic by nature. I've noticed some bands and artists (not only from Stockholm) that I think are really good, and I thought I'd share them with you! Now, some of them sing in Swedish, but don't let that stop you from listening to them! This is a great opportunity to learn some Swedish! ;)


Lars Winnerbäck (Linköping)
Hoffmaestro & Chraa (Stockholm)
Håkan Hellström (Gothenburg)
Joakim Thåström (Stockholm)
Ebba Grön (Stockholm)

The next list includes some artists and bands that are fairly legendary in Sweden. If you want to know about the Swedish music history, these are the ones you'd want to pay attention to. Ask any Swede about these bands/artists, they're gonna FOR SURE know who you're talking about.

Abba (If you've seen the movie Mamma Mia! you should know who these are)
Carola (Pretty much the Celiné Dion of Sweden)
Gyllene Tider (They're singer Per Gessle had a very successful solo carrier)
Lisa Nilsson (One of Swedens most beloved singers)
Tomas Ledin (Pesonally, I think he's one of Swedens most talented singers)
