[kj] Pleasure/Pain , One Word..... Abba

[ade]

TG used to play ABBA after they finished - they had a clock that turned off
their feed to the PA after
60mins - the PA would then blare out various ABBA tunes whilst TG filed off
stage. Chris Carter was/is
a big ABBA fan...

  Once in the early 80s at my college radio station, an ultra-trendy
industrial dj did a special: half Throbbing Gristle, half ABBA. This is a
true story.

    ABBA are great.  Back in 1992/3 I listened to nothing but
industrial/hardcore stuff: Ministry, Neubauten, Rev Co, Big Black, Killdozer
etc etc.  Me and my oh-so-cool friends all turned our noses up at pop.  One
day I bought ABBA's Gimme Gimme Gimme for 10p from a second hand shop for a
laugh.



    When I put it on it blew me away.  I know that's such a cliche, but it
literally blew the cobwebs out of my head.  I'd been snobbishly listening to
"hard" stuff for so long that this was a real breath of fresh air.  It was
bouncy and super-melodic.  I turned up the volume and couldn't stop playing
it.



    (And Super Trouper was the first single I bought when I was nine.)



    Cheers,

    Janean

    ABBA is (was) a great band. Even their bad stuff they did well, like
another band i know...

    "Dancing Queen" is fucking dire, but "S.O.S" is great (and also the
source for the central riff from the `Pistols' "Pretty Vacant" --- FACT!)

      I like Abba. SOS, Dancing Queen and
      Knowing Me, Knowing You are perfect pop songs.
