Average musicians?!!! How so, Toasted Cheese? They weren't one hit wonders, but I suppose I mean they are still a part of the popish milieu, that was designed and operates with a more simplistic approach. It's creative, but not exactly music art. Some of their songs were just downright cheesy, ala Nina Pretty Ballerina and When I Kissed The Teacher. Yes, they put out some cheesy songs for sure (especially their first album, RING RING), but that's exactly what I meant when I said "the least pretense". And they are definitely "popish", and maybe it's their lack of any noticeable edge that turn some people off, but they are so charming and spirited and their songs almost always make me feel good if I'm feeling low and great if I'm already feeling good. As far as "art" goes, I think the emotional response should be the most relevant consideration, and what ABBA evokes is more purely emotional than any other music group I know. Though upon first hearing them, they are probably not what one might call "sophisticated". |
