ABBA The Name Of The Game.

[Thumpalumpacus]

Um no, they are quality, again, just simply say you don't like them. That part I get, to say they lack quality is absurd.

In terms of harmonic or melodic motif, they are  mediocre. Their records featured quality engineering and production, but the music itself added nothing to the lexicon of musicianship in the way that other bands broadened the palette of sound. The lyrics? Very unimpressive:

Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah

Ah-ha-ha, ah-aaaah
Ah-ha-ha, keep thinking 'bout his angeleyes
I keep thinking, a-aaah

Last night I was taking a walk along the river
And I saw him together with a young girl
And the look that he gave her made me shiver
'Cause he always used to look at me that way
And I thought maybe I should walk right up to her and say
Ah-ha-ha, it's a game he likes to play

Look into his angeleyes
One look and you're hypnotized
He'll take your heart and you must pay the price
Look into his angeleyes
You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into those angeleyes
Oh no no no no

Lou Reed is rofling in his grave as I type.

Simply saying I don't like them is one way to put it, but I don't see why going into the reasons is such a bad thing. Of course my opinion is just that, an opinion, but it is just as valid as any other, and has more than a little support.

I agree that singing in multiple languages takes talent, and putting together a catchy song does, as well. I don't deny that they were talented people. I just think their talent was wasted on middle-of-the-road schlock.
