Darkthrone probably more so. They debuted in 1990. Took some time to reach audiences outside a small cult though.

Would've voted for Fever Ray if it'd been on the list, but I guess I'll vote for The Knife instead.

And Robyn had already broken before the 00s, "Show Me Love" was a bigh it in 1997.

"bigh it" = "big hit"

Whoops, sorry, I see Roz already mentioned that about Robyn (though the year was wrong).

I voted for the Hives because I love them.

Voted Jens Lekman - he just hits the a perfect spot for me even though I usually don't like anything that twee. Also figured the Knife and Studio don't need any more votes.

The Concretes

Would've voted El Perro Del Mar had she been listed. Went for Robyn, boringly.

I've never heard anything by Studio, what a boring artist name! What are they/he/she like?

What did you think of Studio, Tuomas? Everybody in the world could do with "West Coast" in their life.

So how did Waterbug do, anyway? This video is pretty cute. I get this sense that a shitload of Pixies albums landed in the nordic countries at some point in the 90's...
