ABBA ROCKS!

[Brian37]

ABBA? Is that one of those secret video game commands?

Yuck it up guys, don't care.

And how many albums have you sold? And you'll be remembered 40 years from now by millions I am sure. Thank you for your lecture on success.

I haven't produced an album to sell, should I? The gang here at the fish site likes to sing our improv songs We could be legendary.

But we're fishermen, not musicians. If Obama is remembered for the albums he sells, and not for his presidency, I'll laugh really really hard. And so far as fishermen go? We've got a *very* successful operation. Broke 150K, and the kenai run is just starting... if we're allowed to fish: we'll rake in another year like 2011.

Furthermore, monetary success and talent are *completely* different subjects. Take Tesla: talented, yes, brilliant, yes, rich? He died destitute DESPITE *inventing our modern world*.

BTW Grunge FUCKING SUCKS! Kurt Cobain sang like a strangled cat.

I don't think you understand the point of grunge

But really, I'd quit moving the goal-posts: you asked for one, I gave you one. I can give you more than one, but absence of particular formula is fairly characteristic of grunge, *regardless* of whether it as a musical category is something you enjoy or don't enjoy

Folk.

No, any new movement is seen as anti formula, then when it takes off becomes a formula. Look at how many bands competed with Nirvana and had the same "grunge" sound.

Now, you and others here keep calling ABBAs music "formulaic" and predictable. Which says to me you are focused solely on their hits and not all their history. Otherwise you would not be saying that.

It is like trying to define Pat Benatar by "Hit Me With Your Best Shot". Not knowing about "My Clone Sleeps Alone" or "Rated X", or "Tough Life". Which sound NOTHING like "Hit Me With Your Best Shot".

Most albums OF any artist, ave 10 to 12 songs on them, and any artist with a long career is going to have one because they have a range.
