I must be drunk...yes.....maybe this thread belongs on the Eternal Drinking Thread. Or the Eternal "what are you listening to" thread. But I'm one of the few people I ever met that has stuck up for ABBA's songs...and that was very early on....when Cool was Cool. And I suffered for it too....with all the ribbing....but thirty or forty years later (I lose track of time) I'm still of the same opinion. I mean the Stones were an easy pick early on in one sense...they were the Greatest and that was it. That was the easy part really. |

I never had an ABBA record as well I never had a, let me think...a Deep Purple record!
What I heard from ABBA on the radio back in seventies never paid my attention - not in a positive way, at least. Too fussy, IMO. Nothing to to with me.
Obviously I don't care if people say is gay music, to gays, for gays, from gays, or whatever what they say.
Who cares?
I like the old Pet Shop Boys records (Behaviour is gourgeus, for example) and pple say the same about them...
The important is if YOU like or not. The rest is only the wind

Jair, i've seen some pretty messed up folks. haven't we all?! even more difficult to judge if self-induced 'medicines' helped contribute.
i'll rephrase..."of equal mental capacity".
i'd hate to know i contributed to someone's poor sleeping habits.

Abba were huge here. In fact, we were the 1st country to make them #1! They were too teeny bopper for me. Nowadays, and i just DO NOT get this, they are a gay fave.
Notwithstanding though, they have written some time less pop. Some very, very well crafted songs. And the production is 1st class! So much so, Led Zeppelin recorded the woeful "In through the out door" in the same studios.
Listening closely, songs like Waterloo and SOS and Mama Mia are really quite brilliant. Lately, i just downloaded the chords to SOS. It was a crazy idea. It's played alot on the oldies station i listen to, and i began to really hear it. Anyway, i love playing guitar to that track. Maxed out distorted guitar, mind you. Its almost as much fun as playing Kylie's "Cant get you out of my head" as a slow blues.
I feel people cannot deny their craftmanship, even if the music is not to your taste.
Put it this way, i'd listen to ABBA anytime before those Beatles.
P.S. "Cant get you out of my head" as a slow blues is bloody great! |
