Do you have a secret "guilty pleasure" recording?

ABBA is the best pop music ever produced, Agnetha & Frida has one of the best singing harmonies in pop history, if not the best. ABBA is tasteful, very melodic & fun music, and very professional in everything really. I honestly can´t imagine better (simple) and honest pop music. Their approach and attitude is the most positive in the business. They surpassed Beatles IMHO. Musically I mean. The happiest pop act, and a huge influence to so many. The best thing is they come from non-English speaking country but their English is perfect. They are perfect.

Karen Carpenter´s voice is incredibly strong and very beautiful, I really love dark female voices, Cher´s too.

I never was embarrassed about ABBA. And all loved them here, boys and girls, young and old. They were hugely popular, much more than Beatles ever were. In 1976 I loved both ABBA and BÖC. And early URIAH HEEP, of course. Still do.

I may mention another very positive and happy pop band lead by a lovely blonde girl... What that band might be ? Hint: they came from one English speaking country and from the 70´s...

ASIA, the 2 first albums are the very best the utterly dull 80´s produced. In everything. John Wetton is a genius. And Carl Palmer rock´s best drummer, still is. Period.

I love ABBA! Great songs, singing, and production. Agnetha's solo albums are swell too. She does a killer version of Jackie DeShannon's "When You Walk In The Room". Pure Pop pleasure!

Schmaltz of the highest order and I cannot stand that or the crooner genre.

"I Love You Always Forever" by Donna Lewis. Man, I do take some punches on the chin whenever I play it. But it's good schmaltz well recorded--which schmaltz usually is.
