I personally think that Sonic Syndicate is the best Swedish band, especially after the release of their new album, Love And Other Disasters. But In Flames and Deathstars are in the top three.

Opeth, in my top 10 favourite bands ever. They are just so unique

I think it should be an old school death metal band like Dismember or Entombed. There's Katatonia too.

For me this is just too easy: Opeth, a consistently great band.

Hammerfall don't deserve to be in any list of great bands IMO. They are the very definition of forgettable.

And by the way, There are 65 votes for "other bands".
So, if Hammerfall were there, it would probably win

Fans aren't a way to judge it. Entombed has less fans than Hammerfall, yet they are the pioneers of swedish death metal and their 1990 effort "Left Hand Path" is considered a landmark in the genre. BTW I heard Hammerfall's "Legacy Of Kings". I don't think they're unforgettable.

Exactly. I would say:
Where is (Entombed, Dismember, Unleashed, Katatonia, Dissection) in this list?

If band doesn't has an enough fan how would it collect an enough votes
and you talking about the pioneers of swedish death metal, Hammerfall the pioneers of swedish PM, aren't they?

If you like Hammerfall, that's your opinion. But I still disagree about the fan base idea. We should judge bands by quality, not number of fans. Opeth has more fans on this site than Slayer and Megadeth. Does that mean that Opeth is better than those two?

Hammerfall's decent, but no way near the BEST SWEDISH BAND. I haven't heard Sonic Syndicate.
BTW: Opeth isn't better than Megadeth. Have Opeth released an album as good as Rust In Peace?

I dont think u can compare such two bands, they are completely different in everything, in genre, style...both bands are great and influential in their own genres, u cant say Megadeth is better than Opeth, or Opeth better than Megadeth...
