Re: 1997-2001 best-of lists from Finnish magazine Rumba

What sort of magazine is this? Most of the albums are again rock/alt acts, with 1-2 urban acts thrown in each year.

Back to the "best bands of your country"-question:

This Finnish magazine highlights Swedish bands The SOUNDTRACK OF OUR LIVES (Behind The Music 2001:3), HELLACOPTERS (High Visibility 2000:18 & Paying The Dues 1997:17)), and KENT (Hagnesta Hill 1999:6 & Isola 1997:4. Then last but not least there is the
