you couldn't make it up!

[byebyepride.livejournal.com]

after watching an Abba doc recently, I decided that on a structural level Abba and Velvet Underground are no different. Abba and VU have more in common than Abba and ‘manufactured boyband X’. The level of craft, passion, musicianship, intelligence, etc that the group and their producer/engineer chap put into the records is totally comparable to anybody you care to name, Fleetwood mac circa rumours, etc. So basically I am happy to induct Abba into the nu-rockist fold.

SR on that bedbugs comments thread.
