Reply to "ABBA and Ally McBeal"

Well, I absolutely HATE the music of Abba and think of them as nothing more than writers of catchy, throwaway bubblegum pop. I don't think they excelled as musicians at all - songwriters and arrangers with an acute ability to write a hit single, maybe yes. You can't argue with their success though - they definitely recognised what people wanted and hit the jackpot time after time. What irritates me is the way that Abba are now seen as kind of cleverly kitsch - to me they were always very irritating. Funnily enough, the only song I hate more than Dancing Queen is Karma Chameleon (urgh) so I suppose there's no accounting for taste...

Sorry!

Feelgood songs for me: From Me To You (The Beatles), Weather With You (CH), Good Vibrations (Beach Boys), Dreams (Fleetwood Mac), Don't You Want Me (Human League), The Life Of Riley (The Lightning Seeds)....many many more...
