RE: My favorite band of all time.
Not a big fan, but ABBA are my favorite all girl band; just beating out Air Supply.

I don't see depth in the construction of the songs, or especially deep meaning in the lyrics, or instrumental genius. I just don't "get it."

But that's the beauty of art, I guess-- all our lives can benefit by finding those sounds that get our own neurons tingling, and it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

You'll have to say if this is raining on your parade, Brian, but I agree with bennyboy on this one. Musically what sets them apart is harmony, but the rhythms are so relentlessly upbeat and cheesy. It made sense for disco I guess but there is a reason that didn't stick.

I like them a lot too, but even more so for helping inspire my favorite bands that followed. I'd say Beatles, Queen, Stones, Zeppelin, The Who and Floyd are all some of the most influential bands of all time. I find GNR and Nirvana pretty great too, but they were only made possible by the greats that came before them. I'm not picky when it comes to music. I like a little of everything.

RE: My favorite band of all time.
I heard Abba had to call it quits when Ozzy bit off the blonde's head in a record-company boardroom, any truth to that?

It's a myth that he did that on purpose though. He was just confused into thinking she was a bat because of her goth rock outfit. If I remember correctly.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
