ABBA

[Ferocious]

Awesome music!

Funny thing is growing up back then, I never listened to them.

Dude...

 

[Tom]

everything from Sweden is awesome.

 

[dennilfloss]

Definitely awesome music. And I preferred Agnetha to Anni-Frid.

/...dancing queen, feel that beat of a tambourine... ohhhh...yeahhh... you can dance, you can sing, having the time of your life.....

... O.K. I'm only going to say this once because it really only needs to be said once: ABBA sucks, ABBA's music sucks, their clothing sucks, their stupid hair cuts suck, their fans suck, the eight tracks their music came on suck. Everything, and I mean e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g, about abba sucks.

There are only two excuses for liking ABBA. #1 is that you're Australian. I don't know why, but for some reason the australians really liked ABBA and continued to like them WAY after the U.S. came out of that dark dark place that allowed them to enjoy that insipid swedish candy pop. But, for whatever reason they do, which it's adorable.

#2 is if you are a drag queen. Somehow, the sheer transgressive power gained by breaking normal social norms gives men who dress like that license to like whatever the fvck they want. Let me tell you something my friends; don't fvck with a drag queen, I'll leave it at that.

Now, the previous two conditions only lead to a tolerance of ABBAphilia. If someone is BOTH Australian AND a drag queen, then they're cool. Cool enough to make a funny movie of. But really, that movie was only funny because some chick popped ping pong balls out of her hoo-ha.

So, in short, ABBA = really really lame

I love ABBA. Funny that I do and I'm so young.

 

[Dedpuhl]

I see there's no "they suck sh!t" option available, so I can't vote...

 

[theprodigalrebel]

Music so cheesy, it's good. While I can NEVER sit down in a chair and do some critical ABBA listening, it's hard not to sing along when it's playing on the radio in a public place (like a burger joint or someplace). When I say sing along, I mean in my mind.

:thumbsdown:

how about the voting button 'crap' ?

 

[czech09]

The best is that many don't even know who they were...I asked my roommates last semester and neither one of three knew who they were...sad. ABBA is amazing!

I have always appreciated the music of ABBA, going back to the 70s when they where always on the radio.

 

[Stunt]

The odd ABBA song is fun.
I would never sit down and listen to their CD or keep it on an active playlist

 

[AmphibSailor]

I remember the original AbbA, too. IIRC the new AbbA group is made up of "their" children.

 

[ch33zw1z]

buncha dancing queens, that's what you guys are!

edit: did not vote, "the suck" was not an option.

 

[FoBoT]

i have abba greatest hits

 

[AnyMal]

I remember listening to ABBA on my parents' reel-to-reel back in the 70's

So do I.

At that point in time, their music was considered quite good, as demonstrated by the large number of hits.

Besides, they sure beat rap. :beer:
