Re: Re:

Hey, what's wrong with ABBA?

Nothing at all, I've actually loved ABBA since I was a kid. I think they were all excellent musicians.

But a lot of times you get giggles because ABBA was a bit "lightweight" compared to something like the hard rockers, and whatnot.

Nothing wrong with a fine pop sensibility. There are far worse things than ABBA. And I find that only the most undeveloped rockers can bust on music that one first knew as a child.

I'm glad you mentioned the genre of music, in the case of ABBA it was 70s pop. Well, mostly anyway, they did dabble in some other stuff.

Hard rock, prog, hip-hop, R&B, classical, reggae bands, etc., should all be judged differently, methinks, and on their own merits and within their own classifications. But then you get the cross-overs, and then things can get very messy...

I think ABBA was an awesome pop band with some awesome composers and awesome singers. Don't think there is any point in comparing them to any other genre than 70s and early 80s pop.

So there, hard rockers!

My 14 year old heard Eric Clapton for the first time at the weekend. "He sounds like Abba," she said. She has a point.

Is she into classical music yet?

The new Linkin Park album just leaked. Seems like the first time is also gonna be the last time listening to it.

Just heard that Chris Cornell of Soundgarden and Audioslave fame passed away a few hours ago

His music with Soundgarden was a large part of my teen years.

An amazing singer and songwriter, he'll be missed.

From the the Seattle reunion show. When he first nails the high section.....

Amen.

Scott Weiland two years ago was another heavy loss. Layne Stayley obviously though that's 15 years ago now.
It seems it's mostly the singers who die young(?)
extravagant personalities - live performing - excessive drugs, not difficult to see correlations there.
With Staley I remember the story was he couldn't sing without speed/coke.

Corgan (who'd have thunk) and Vedder (less surprising) still going strong.
Wonder how Thurston Moore is doing.

Oh man... I just received the news. One of my favourite singers of the 90's and a great great songwriter. I cannot believe this to be true. Rest in peace, Chris.

I've taken a look at Tom Morello's social media and website, he seems to be taking it especially hard. Matt Cameron is as well.

Am still trying to digest this Chris Cornell thing, apparently it was suicide. And right after he and band had played some gig in Detroit.

Don't want to get into conspiracy theories, but according to his wife: http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/chris-cornells-wife-issues-statement-w483179


Either way, RIP, Chris Cornell - he was one of the great voices of my generation.
