I was reading (somewhere else) about how poorly ABBA is regarded.

Put itunes on auto today and it settled on ABBA ..some of their work is very good and quite catchy. Not so bad really.

esp liked : SOS , Chiquitta, Money Money , Fernando ...etc.

Tom, I also enjoy ABBA. I saw the stage production of Mama Mia in Las Vegas about 7-8 years ago and I really got a kick out of it. I think they over produced some of there songs to the extent that Phil Spector did to get that big "Wall Of Sound".

Yep, they're awful...

The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on 15 March 2010

In 1993, the ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits collection was released in the United States and has since become a seven-time platinum best-seller.

There must be alot of secret ABBA fans.

Elton John and I have only one agreement re: music that I am aware of. We both feel ABBA's best song, musically, is Take A Chance On Me. If you are ever presented the old Olivia Newton-John TV special, they could do it as a barn burner live (if backed up by an orchestra, as they always were). As far as being a band, that is questionable. They tried one - just one - rock song, and it was flat pop. Dreadful.

The boys did a great job on the musical Chess. Having Elaine Paige sing it didn't hurt.

I don't go out of my way to acquire ABBA songs, but sometimes it's a nice break ....just got back from a long bike ride ....BeeGee's GH was on the pod , havnt heard them in a while, some of the tunes were like old friends from the past , similar to my ABBA feelings. Esp enjoyed "Lonely Nights"

[SEAWOLF97]

,
one of the fastest ways to get me to change a station is to play "Black Betty"

absolutely detest it ..but never bothered to find out what "group" was responsible.

something/somebody called "Ram Jam" ....yuk

[grumpy]

... then I suggest you do not watch "Kung Pow! Enter The Fist" ... lol.

(Actually, I don't -suggest- anyone watch it at all. Those that will don't need the suggestion)

[Mark's JBLs]

Glenn Hughes-(Trapeze, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Black Country Communion)Irritating vocals and average bass playing from this guy. He ruined Deep Purple, and he sings on the only Black Sabbath record that I'll never get.40 plus years of crap!

Wait..... Black Sabbath? you gotta be kidding. Talk about two chord (ok, I'll give'em credit make it 3.) wonders from 40 years ago.So, your saying Tommy Bolin was a bad guitar player? He was in Deep Purple with Hughes at that time.I will agree Glen Hughes is an average bass player.

[SEAWOLF97]

no argument here ....and that little Canuk vocal terrorist.

While I remain an old hardcore blue jeaned rocker, long Pre-headbang era, etc. One of the many bands I had a (too short) 4 night sound job tour with was ABBA. I will always remember the afternoon I walked into the dressing area, looking for their manager to get some musicians out on stage for a sound check and was completely stunned at hearing their acapella warm-up exercises a couple of hours before the show.

I was absolutely stopped in my tracks and MOVED, seriously by the incredible sounds I was hearing.

WOW!


OT, I have a hard time listening to any of the modern "harmonically enhanced" vocals where it sounds almost like a keyboard sampling instead of a human voice.

If one has to tell you they ARE an artist ...... , are they ?

Justin Bieber was booed at the Billboard Music Awards, despite winning two awards and performing twice.
The "Beauty and the Beat" singer was accepting the Milestone Award when the crowd seemed to erupt in boos. Looking a bit confused, Bieber went on to assert that he thinks only the "craft" and his music should be considered.


"This is not a gimmick," Bieber said. "I’m an artist and I should be taken seriously.”

So said his Cappucin monkey ;-)

Sorry for the late response.

Black Sabbath is great, just not with Hughes.

Tommy Bolin was a great guitar player.

I wish he (Hughes) would like...retire, but he's seemingly everywhere in classic rock and old time heavy metal circles.

[SEAWOLF97]

I understand that he is a great guitar player, but
sometimes Stevie Ray Vaughn seems annoying ,
repetitive and noisy. But Hendrix jams are sometimes
that way too.

Go ahead, get out your flame guns ... , it's just my opinion.
