I thought that Abba created a unique sound via their vocal harmonies. Agnetha and Frida's voices go together and make a sound like no other on this earth. Their Swedish accents just add to their mystique. I understand they're not everyone's cup of tea. Everyone doesn't have the same taste, but you can't say these guys don't have talent.

I love their music and found them creative and very talented. It wasn't until Mama Mia that I had to have a restraining order against me from anyone associated with the movie or those that attended it.

Their talent is undeniable, and their harmonies are flawless. They're a very tight group, musically.............I just don't like their songs.

Fair enough. Everyone doesn't have the same taste in music, and that's perfectly fine.
RC, could not agree more.....as long as their taste is the same as mine, if I am in the room.

Actually, I listened to some of their tunes last night on the patio with a couple of glasses of Woodford Reserve, celebrating my Derby Day. I have this disco playlist and no I don't wear a leisure suit specifically to listen to that, leisure suits work for all genres of music.

I am comfortable enough in my man suit to admit to liking disco music. I even attended Dahl's Disco Demolition at Comiskey Park but did not admit to listening to disco when asked 3 times before the rooster crowed. I knew Rick Dees in Memphis where he did Disco Duck before hitting the big time in LA. And my company syndicated the Disco format that took NYC by storm. Actually sold that to a small market station in Grand Island, Nebraska because the owner's wife was a Disco Lady. I saw three chicks in Studio 54 snorting coke off each others' bare breasts, none of them reminded me of the two in ABBA as these ladies were more voluptuous. Voluptuous and unfriendly.

Voluptuous, is that not a great word? I dig words that sound like what they mean. If you did not know what that meant and I used it in a sentence "she was voluptuous beyond his wildest fantasies", you'd conjure up the right image. There are lots of words like that, dainty, pert, turgid, etc.

Let's see, where was I? Oh yeah, ABBA, I like them when I am in that Disco Daze part of my past. It will be interesting to hear what they come up with now. Electronica has made leaps and bounds since they were recording and I bet there's an EDM override to it. They could crossover bigtime with those harmonies and the two guys' penchant for rhythms.

Also waiting to see if Fleetwood Mac will record with their two new guys after dumping Lindsay Buckingham.

Yeah, I'm not seeing it. Is that a 5 o'clock shadow I'm seeing?

You went fishing for a picture that wasn't too flattering.
I never said she was a super model.

No, I just don't find her attractive. Even in a non-super model type of way. If I had to choose the blonde or the brunette. I likely would take the brunette.
