pinkstones Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 Because I don't. Same reason I dislike about 99% of disco music. It's just not my cup of tea. There's a few songs here and there from that era that I'm not bothered by enjoying but the vast majority of it is just overly fluffy pap. ABBA falls into that group. That's not to say that no one else is allowed to enjoy them, just that I find that style/genre/type of music too.....ucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall expect votes from you all. EXCUSE ME? Just because I'm a man I don't like ABBA EH? ABBA happens to be my very metrosexual yet totally heterosexual friend's favorite band (interesting sidenote: is favorite tv show is Golden Girls. And he wonders why he can't get a woman ). I happen to like me a bit of ABBA. But then again, I like everything. Guess there's no accounting for taste with me eh? Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRaccoon Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 I heard a man say that if he had to pick one Bob Dylan song to introduce someone to Dylan, it would be this song. I happen to agree. Chimes Of Freedom- Bob Dylan (1964) And one of my favorite Tom Petty hidden gems: Wake Up Time- Tom Petty (1994) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 O Fortuna ~ Carl Orff (1936) youtube (with english translation) aka "Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi" "(Fortune, Empress of the World)" "O Fortuna" is a medieval Latin Goliardic poem composed early in the thirteenth century, part of the collection known as the Carmina Burana. It is a complaint about fate, and Fortuna, a goddess in Roman mythology and personification of luck. In 1935/36 "O Fortuna" was set to music by the German composer Carl Orff for his cantata Carmina Burana. It is the most famous piece and opens and closes the cycle. Orff's setting of the poem has become immensely popular and has been performed by countless classical music ensembles as well as popular artists. [...] The piece topped a list of the most-played classical music of the past 75 years in the United Kingdom. and for those who don't care for medieval latin lyrics, here's an instrumental from France So Flute ~ St. Germain (2000) youtube no idea why I never nominated this gem from one of my all time favourite albums before... who cares if nobody votes for it - I will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
