I would have banged that boomerang

Hey now... I gotta wonder how much music that's coming out today will be considered dated and sucky, and how much will still be played, in 30 years' time.

/ABBA on vinyl
//you.lawn.off.

That's what my parents said thirty years ago.
My mother actually bought the Fernando 45 single.

A little known tidbit: the two dancers in the center at the very beginning are bald. That's all through the crack behind the back and up combed 70's pubic hair, which was the style at the time

Better in German...

ABBA sucks? pfff... right. Would that be why they got offered 1 BILLION dollars to reform?

you read right.

CNN news in 2000:



ABBA refuses $1 billion reunion offer
ABBA
ABBA

STOCKHOLM, Sweden -- Members of the Swedish '70s band ABBA say they won't get back together -- not even for $1 billion.

An American-British consortium offered them that amount to reunite for 100 concerts, but they refused. "It is a hell of a lot of money to say no to, but we decided it wasn't for us," Benny Andersson tells the Swedish tabloid Aftonbladet.



/personally not a big fan but ABBA arrangements are pretty solid sometimes

Because you care so much, I will share with you my observations about Frida Lyngstad, the other chick in that group. Search for pictures of her throughout her career: she is one of the only women I have ever seen that looks equally good as a blonde, brunette, or redhead. Also, she is aging amazingly well and still looks plenty hittable today at the age of 62. Check me out on this.

The only thing I remember about this song is that I saw some interview in which the guy was giving them a hard time because he thought a battle in which "so many people died" was a fit subject for a pop song.

Stonewall Jackson
would beg to differ.

I wasn't aware that ABBA had anything that "sucked" in the first place.

I am partway through recording a reggae cover of The Name of the Game. I love that tune. Not into anything else by them, but I do have a lot of respect for their talents.

 
McBotulism 2008-04-05 06:40:31 PM  
This version is better.

This is what you meant to link to. (new window)

Not only is it brilliant, but it's poignant. What a great way to sum up a career.

/did you see Cher?
//uh, and all the band's individual cameos?

 
clod9 2008-04-05 11:42:45 PM  
ABBA does not suck. Have you ever heard Chiquitita covered in spanish? awesome!

All was forgiven the moment the boys got together with Tim and wrote CHESS. All was destroyed when Nunn and Nelson turned it into Broadway shiat and the performance rights to the West End version became unattainable.

Who is Agnetha farkstick?

 
Dog Man 2008-04-06 11:04:01 AM  
The guitar guy has always creeped me out. He looks like the mini-me version of the muscular henchman guy from Conan the Barbarian.

Much better example. This song is the shiat.
