I remember it and it is brilliant. Thanks for the link, NAS95189
A lot of people won't have heard it as it's entirely out of the style ABBA usually had. It didn't get much radio play and with the band about to breakup there was little incentive for it to get any.
I love it so much though. Very human, very tender and stiffling. Agnetha is a scarily good vocalist even when delivering in a flat, conversational tone as well.
Bob Dylan, Paul Weller/Jam, Violent Femmes, Jonathan Richman, Howlin' Wolf, Small Faces, Toots and the Maytals, Buzzcocks, Sandy Denny/Fairport, DEVO, Ali Farka Toure, Pogues, Fela Kuti, Tinariwen, Led Zeppelin, Velvet Underground and lots more.
I will check them out, thanks, Orangegnome
That's one I don't remember hearing. It kind of tells a story, doesn't it?
See, this is the trouble with me - I never buy albums - I just follow the popular tracks of the time, so I miss songs that aren't normally played on the radio or YouTube. But I've never been into music that much TBH because there are so many other things going on. Maybe if I'd had friends when younger they would have influenced me but I'm afraid I didn't and was left to please myself which is not entirely a good thing.
I daresay if I had had a girlfriend too, she might have well influenced my musical tastes but being a loner, that did not happen.
Have you listened to Foals, they fit in with this genre I feel.
ABBA are very, very good. They're very much before my time and not my kind of musical at all, but all four are very talented and could do a lot more genres than a casual listener would assume.
This is one of my favorite songs of all time - youtu.be/1HnOFwqpLRQ
OK, at the risk of sounding boring and conventional, I've always liked ABBA. There's something about their songs and the way they harmonize that makes them one of the most popular bands in history. I've only ever been a casual music listener and never really followed a specific band. The thing is that there are many songs I really like but not necessarily other stuff that artist has put out. Being quite old, there are some Elvis songs and songs by others of that era I really like and I think every era has some classic tunes that stand the test of time. So, I guess you could say that my musical tastes are quote catholic. Never really been into rock and roll, etc.
Now if you're talking classical music, well, that's another thing - Mozart, Beethoven mainly.
Perennial faves: Radiohead, Doves, Elbow, Super Furry Animals, Pulp, Kate Bush, Peter Gabriel and Bjork. I guess I like outsiders and innovators who offer complex soundscapes I can immerse myself in and lyrics that make me think and resonate with my values.
I‘ll usually listen to a couple of songs for months on end before replacing them one by one with a new fixation, but right now I like some songs by Van Halen, Jimi Hendrix, Isabel Pless and KALEO.
LCD soundsystem, Gorillaz, Self Esteem, The Smiths, The Cure
Ok, I will check those out then!!
Reminds me of panic! At the disco or p!atd or panic!
They're dead but Stan Rogers, Peter Dawson, Highwaymen, Purcell, Rome is decent, the corries, John Edmunds. R Kelly.
Katie Melua, George Michael and Elbow are my absolute favourites.
Yes I really like them, they make very relaxing music. Currently I have their albums Shore and Crack-up on a playlist, along with Andrew Bird's echolocations: river, and have been listening to them on repeat since June! I do like their other albums too, especially their original 2008 one.
