Songs that Piss me off!

(f0xxee @ Dec. 29 2009,05:16) Hi lefty,

I think my aversion to ABBA came from being an Aussie. Australia unfortunately was flooded with ABBA "tribute" (Oh fuck off. Want to pay tribute? Use Western Union) bands in the 90's. This lead to a lot of red faced, floppy armed, saggy titted 40 sumthing Mommas getting sweaty and pissy and horny at these venues and generally acting like in-season chimps with a drink and drug habit and annoying the shite out of any punter seriously intent on drinking and minding his own business. Me.

Very well put Foxee sir!! I think that also describes some of the annoying Aussie women I've seen as tourists in Patong. Especially when half dozen of the louts decided to invade C&D. I guess they wanted their photo taken with a real live ladyboy so they could show their equally disgusting friends back home.

Yeah:- Yobbo boilers... repulsive.

Last time I was in C and D (circa Nick) there were these three Aussie slappers with thier inverted biceps and breezer-breath interogating me why I prefered ladyboys to women... and they were persistent.
My reply to one was : "Got a mirror? " and to the other was "Their asses are tighter and generally smell better" Horrid monsters... I fuckin' hate them. I know they got to have fun, but that's why God invented Bali... Another reason to hate Mussie Fundamentalists... they sent the Bogans to Phuket.

And, it almost goes without saying, but ... "Hotel California". I can't believe they still play this crap.

I think Pacman's on to something here. My current favorite musician is a dude named Steven Wilson who is a veritable musical genius. His bands (yes, he has more than one) include Porcupine Tree (metal/pop/prog rock), No Man (trance/dance), Blackfield (pop/rock), and various other ambient and techno experimental projects. He's a huge proponent of old 70's prog rock (my favorite genre) as well as surround sound remixes and is acknowledged as one of the best surround sound remixers in the business. He's recently remixed 3 of the classic King Crimson albums into 5.1 surround (Court of the Crimson King, Red, and Lizard) and will be working with Robert Fripp to remix the rest of the classic catalog over the next couple of years, when he's not working on his own projects.

Anyway, all this to say that there's a great interview with SW discussing what classic albums he thinks should be remixed in surround sound, and his effusive praise of the Abba "Arrival" album has made me take pause and reconsider their place in history. Really an interesting read, check out the full article here:

"Steven Wilson keeps pretty busy with his band Porcupine Tree and various other group and solo projects. Yet he still finds time to be, among artists, the leading proponent of music in surround.

ABBA: Arrival
Perhaps the best album by perhaps the greatest pop writing/production team of the 1970s. ABBA used the studio to layer backing tracks and vocal overdubs €” sometimes layering the whole band on top of itself to create its own variation on the Wall of Sound. Although ABBA wasn€™t essentially an album band, Arrival is a flawless set of pop songs, including some of the group€™s most famous hits. Nowadays, this set is recognized by anyone with ears as not just great pop music but also an album masterpiece. Any production of this quality deserves to be given the ultimate sonic treatment in surround."[B]

(Lefty @ Dec. 28 2009,21:50) I'm crushed by the hatred for Abba.  I used to love them and still don't mind when one of their songs come on. I had a HUGE crush at one time on Agnetha Faltskog, and I consider her to have one of the best female singing voices I've ever heard. When she sings Thank You For The Music, my heart sores like an eagle, still to this day.

Lefty I truly believe that deep down a high percentage of people really DO like Abba music but don't say so for fear of chastisement.....Peer group pressure and all that.

Good point. Especially men not secure in their own masculinity. Being sexually attracted to lbs causes some men to repeatedly state they are not gay, for fear of being considered wimpy, swishy and limp wristed. Sort of a Stuart Smalley positive affirmation.
Admitting liking Abba would perhaps cause some concern that their more macho hetero friends may question their orientation or something.

I am pretty sure Donnykey would be of a similar generation as me and therefore grew up watching Countdown on ABC on Saturday and Sunday afternoons... Even as a 12 year old I knew when something was being thrashed to death.... and that killed my passion for a lot of music. I think the 3 songs that stayed in the #1 spot longest were ABBA 1 with "Dancing Queen", Queen 2 with "Bohemian Rhapsody" and I suspect ABBA 3 with "Fernando". I find them all over-familiar now.

It was the gross over-play (OK and the dancing hippos at ABBA revivals in the 90's) that killed the band dead for me.

Jazz, especially Blues Jazz is the greatest and most influential musical genre of all time.
