No. No, I don't. I clearly remember the night Abba won the 1974
Eurovision Song Contest, a sort of Europe-wide televised battle of the
bands. They sucked then, and never stopped sucking. They are the root
of the evil which became glam-corporate rock. I despise the tripe they
insisted was music. I will now truncate my rant.

OK, I have to agree, ABBA does have a high level of suck.

IMHO, Abba sucks in a way that Village People don't. Village People suck in
a memorable way, a campy sort of way that you can't really tell if is
intentional or not. For all the Abba I've ever heard, the only words of
"Dancing Queen" that I know are, well, "dancing" and "queen." Their songs
slide out of memory unless they're forcibly imprinted there.
Everytime I try to THINK of an Abba song, I get a Village People song stuck
in my head (today, either YMCA or Go West, the latter because of Pet Shop
Boys).

The lyircs also suck in a way you can't excuse because of language
difficulties:
You are the Dancing Queen, young and sweet, only seventeen
Dancing Queen, feel the beat from the tambourine
You can dance, you can jive, having the time of your life
See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the Dancing Queen
Experience the suck that is Abba.

your opinions.
resp:61 Noted. Tripe? Mmmm, food of dogs and Third World laborers!
Hmmm, that and candy, too. Rots your ears, ya know.
resp:65 The original Village People were cooler.. well, the
construction guy of today is lacking in beef. Slide out of memory?
Maybe for you since you genuinely don't like them.
resp:66 Never made a difference to me.
The Pet Shop Boys covered a Village People song-- what about Erasure
covering Abba? Does that automatically make Erasure suck in that
regard?
Ah well, what about the ELO? (Of course, I don't count the Bee Gees..
they've proved their talent is beyond disco.)

Erasure are immune from suckery because of Vince Clarke.

#70> Don't keep implying disses of Clarke, dude, I'll come kick your ass. >=}
Clarke was a major force in not one, not two, but three of the most important
New Wave bands. So maybe he made an error in judgment now and then, but his
output is immune from suckery nonetheless. (depeche Mode and Yaz also
benefited from Clarke's touch)
