The Analog Grownup Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 ABBA IS AMAZING. Yes. The other day, Lucy refused to get up from her nap. I played Take A Chance On me at top volume, grabbed her toy microphone and rocked that shiiiiii hahaha....woke her up pretty fast, she was kinda angry lmao. Hahaha, you just made me think of when I shared an apartment years ago, with the drummer from my band. He's an early riser while I'm the sleep late type of person, so he would put an 80s song on full blast, enter my room Kramer style in the most ridiculous outfit and drag me out. We then got the habit of doing the most ugly aerobics with that song blasting from the speakers. You might be dizzy the first 30 seconds, but it quickens you up faster than a strong brew of coffee :D :dweez: lmao nice!!!! hahaha "kramer style"- in my family, we have a point system for good jokes (bad jokes or questionable comments get negative points lol) - YOU, sir, are awarded 50 for that mental image hahaha. ;)And the points really don't mean much. haha. sounds like quite the spectacle! That would make me a morning person, i think! Yay! 50 points! :D I tell you, I'm just glad smartphones and Youtube weren't around back then! Phew ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 What's next, TRF rockers pledging their love to The Backstreet Boys? The Spice Girls? Justin Beiber? Yanni? Loverboy? Hannah Montana? You're just being silly now. Am I? I don't really see much difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hobo73 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 http://www.planetcalypsoforum.com/gallery/files/2/9/7/4/6/this_thread_wont_die.jpgLike your VT horseshit. If I had to make a choice, I'd rather listen to Abba any day of the week over VT, but still... It's Abba! http://img.pandawhale.com/65402-zoolander-crazy-pills-gif-6laR.gif What's next, TRF rockers pledging their love to The Backstreet Boys? The Spice Girls? Justin Beiber? Yanni? Loverboy? Hannah Montana? Seriously... http://i.qkme.me/3rh1v2.jpg THIS TRF-er is pledging her love for NSYNC, started at ten years old and you bet all these years later I still like them hahaha.

greyfriar Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I love The Day Before You Came. The song is brilliant. Besides the "hits" they have a lot of good songs to spot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steevo Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 :bump: Watching the Agnetha doc. The voice of an angel. Ok, I think we're getting that same doc tomorrow, needless to say she's locked in! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steevo Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I need all the remastered/deluxe albums before too long, it's been bugging me. Out with the old in with the new. Abba rule folks, don'tcha know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSHHEAD666 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 One of the greatest bands in the world. I've started many ABBA threads on here over the years. They rule. Did you know that when ABBA was in their prime they made more money than the Volvo Corporation. They were offered 500,000,000 to do a reunion. They turned it down! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 ABBA and Rush are about equal in my world. Add The Beatles, Lacuna Coil and Fleetwood Mac to that same list. O my days, I love me some ABBA! The Visitors is an amazing song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Thanks! Did anyone here realise that Ld Zeppelin wre hugeuABBA fans and that they recorded one of their later albums at Polar Music studios, ABBA's self made recording studio? I refused to listen to haters. ABBA are AMAZING! On the same level as The Beatles, imo possibly even better... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchetaxe&saw Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I'm glad you lov the passion! I also love Toto... (Awaiting the hatemail) Each to their own, except The Eagles. I'm no fan of Toto, but Rosanna, Africa & Hold The Line were part of the soundtrack to my formative years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I LOVE TOTO! But yeah...I feel like I shouldn't. Fahrenheit and Tambu are two of my all time favourite albums. However, as for The Eagles...I don't get it. The music is so lifeless! I try, but unlike Fleetwood Mac, they have no pesonality! And the music always sounds like someone is performing in another room. Nah, not my cup of tea. Back to ABBA...Anyone heard Watch Out? ABBA could do rock surprisingly adequately...hardly up to Rush or Led Zep standards ( Rock me is a disgusting attemp at rock), but this song has good energy and decent riffs...and Bjorn is quite aggressive vocally!

greyfriar Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Steven Wilson is a big fan of ABBA.I've heard a bootleg where he terms Björn as one of the best songwriters on earth and a big influence for himself. After the announcement he plays an outstanding acoustic version of The Day Before You Came. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColdFireYYZ Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Steven Wilson recorded The Day Before You Came on his Cover Versions series. Here it is, if you haven't heard it before. I didn't know he ever played it live...I'll have to look into those bootlegs! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steevo Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Eurovision 40th Anni...nice piece with Frida and Bjorn for BBC. I didn't know they wouldn't allow Bjorn on stage to collect the songwriter award because he "didn't look like a writer"...WTF you Eurovision nutters??!! :| http://youtu.be/jPv41CVOfq4 Bjorn and Frida greetings at the 40th anni party: http://youtu.be/Cgoo-6jxuIw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
