Clearly you don't know how to read for content.
Quote:And seriously, only you give a fuck about all music having to always be deep and never be fun. I really hate this bullshit attitude where fans of one type of music shit on another type of music. No one, no matter what type of music they preform gets to that level if they suck.
Actually, the idea that fun music has to be dumbed down for simpletons doesn't cut ice with me; it's a false dichotomy. Music can be fun without being banal. Musical quality need not be wrapped in dusty seriousness. Frank Zappa, Mozart, Level 42, and too many others to name are evidence of that.
Quote:You like what you like, and that is all there is to it.
We all do. The thing you haven't learnt yet is that just because you like it, that doesn't mean it's good music. It just means that you like it.
This isn't about ABBA, this is about taste in general,
Not everything you do has to be done in a library to be considered talented.
The Ramones were extremely talented but to say "Beat On The Brat" is a deep song would be bullshit. And their cord progressions were not that complicated for the vast majority of their songs. There are plenty of ABBA songs that have a wider range of cords than that song and I already listed their influences and backgrounds.
I love the Ramones as well, like Metallica too. Just say you don't like ABBA and stop this bullshit crap that they are not talented. They never pretended to be anything more than fun. Fun is not a crime. Fun takes as much talent at that level as deep.
Again, you could say that to their faces if you want, an they would laugh in your face.
Oh and please argue that AC/DC's lyrics are deep please.
