ABBA - [The self-titled album] Sync Listen

[GinAg (39)]

Kinda agog this was never a single. Pretty sure it would have been a hit.

 

[GNL]

I've Been Waiting For You is quite nice

 

[Pingu]

11. So Long

 

[GinAg (39)]

I don't care much for So Long

Fuck crazy Daisy.

 

[Iguana]

Oh So Long is great, but this video quality sounds kind of poor!

 

[GinAg (39)]

Although I'm enjoying it in context, it's a bit of a skip on More Gold.

 

[Pingu]

well this album was never likely to be my bag*. at least I'm here?

09 Mamma Mia
07 Hey, Hey Helen
06 Tropical Loveland
10 SOS
06 Man in the Middle
06 Boom-a-boomerang
07 I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do
04 Rock Me
— Intermezzo
06 I've Been Waiting For You




*no stolen bag jokes pls

Is your lack of score for Intermezzo No. 1 a principled thing or were you just off having a (non-4am) shit?

 

[GinAg (39)]

Oh God at the "bonus" tracks coming up. Real bottom of the barrel stuff. Although Bale is notable as their only cover.

 

[Pingu]

12. Crazy World

 

[GinAg (39)]

Crazy World is so weak.

 

[Pingu]

Bjorn's storytelling really did come on leaps and bounds between Crazy World and stuff like The Day Before You Came...

Although maybe this is a Stig lyric.

 

[GinAg (39)]

It should have never even been a B side.

 

[Iguana]

Ok what is THIS beauty?

 

[Tisch]

I feel like we've accidentally moved onto a Glen Campbell album...

 

[Pingu]

It should have never even been a B side.

At least they had the courtesy to wait a couple of years before farting it out as one.

 

[GinAg (39)]

It's like a sub Osmonds ballad or some shit.

 

[Iguana]

Well that's my one 11 sorted

 

[Jark]

Is your lack of score for Intermezzo No. 1 a principled thing or were you just off having a (non-4am) shit?

I forgot it before it had finished...

09 Mamma Mia
07 Hey, Hey Helen
06 Tropical Loveland
10 SOS
06 Man in the Middle
06 Boom-a-boomerang
07 I Do I Do I Do I Do I Do
04 Rock Me
— Intermezzo
06 I've Been Waiting For You
06 So Long

all of the GENERIC ROCK SONG on this album have the SAME INSTRUMENTAL.

 

[Tisch]

Quite NICE but not exactly an "Abba" track despite what the artist AND album name are trying to tell me.

 

[GinAg (39)]

At least they had the courtesy to wait a couple of years before farting it out as one.

No one should ever have heard it.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I have no recollection as to why the Medley even exists.

 

[Pingu]

13. Medley: Pick A Bale of Cotton / On Top of Old Smokey / Midnight Special

 

[Pingu]

I have no recollection as to why the Medley even exists.

Some charity album they didn't want to waste an original song on (and Stig was too cheap to pay for any covers that hadn't entered the public domain yet).

 

[GinAg (39)]

As an album it's their best to date. Obviously it only got better.

 

[Jark]

6.5/10 for the album according to my scores. which feels generous. no deep cuts to add to my ABBA Gold + Further Luxurious Metals playlist here. thanks @Pingu!

 

[GNL]

What is this medley?

 

[Pingu]

What is this medley?

Thank heaven Radio 1's Live Lounge wasn't a thing back then.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Some charity album they didn't want to waste an original song on (and Stig was too cheap to pay for any covers that hadn't entered the public domain yet).

Stig really was a piece of work.

I wonder if they decided it was worth their time, what they would have covered.

 

[Tisch]

Tak @Pingu!

 

[Iguana]

 

[Pingu]

Thanks for joining once again! I'll reward you with a good one next week, promise.

The artwork!

 

[Iguana]

Thanks @Pingu that was very enjoyable!

 

[Pingu]

Obviously there's a lot of time for it still to run, but just one last reminder to keep track for the rate! And also @Ag I'm sure you're on it but just a reminder that you've exceeded your 10s quota by approximately 150%

 

[Jark]

why does it look like they've all got huge comedy arses in @Iguana's sketch?

That's meant to be their faces

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Why is this thread locked? Was there Abba drama?

There was Iguana fat fingers drama.

 

[Iguana]

YouTube has put me onto "One hour of relaxing ABBA piano music". Help?

 

[lolly]

Sorry, had my tea and then nodded off
