The Cardigans

No signs of cashmere or wool here, the Cardigans are instead a Swedish rock dish, served on a space pop platter and accompanied by the syrupy sweet vocals of Nina Persson. International fame came for the Cardigans in 1996 with the smash hit "Lovefool," a track that was re-released on the new age William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet soundtrack. Albums like First Band on the Moon and Gran Turismo showcase the group at its pop best, while the band's latest, Long Gone Before Daylight, aims for a more traditional songwriting style.
