And the point of this thread is...?
By the way, lucas, don't forget Mike Oldfield had covered ABBA. This must mean something. |

'The Visitors' is something of symphonic art-pop.
And Frida's 'something's goin' on' was produced by Phil Collisn, who also plays drums on all tracks. And on an ending note, I will admit that I never listened to a complete Opeth album, and probably will never.

Don't know anything from ABBA. But even if he was a Justin Bieber fan I wouldn't give a sh*t.

ABBA wasn't bad at all, really. Pure pop to be sure, but not just fluff.
Like Opeth, they're Swedish, so perhaps there's some natural affinity there. Having a soft spot for the local heroes. Of course, there's a big difference between "having a soft spot" and being a "huge fan". But I'm not too surprised. Edited by HolyMoly - May 18 2012 at 09:42 |

I've never made it past Dancing Queen and whatever songs they played during the Mama Mia commercials. Can't say that I know anything else from them or had any desire to explore them any further. Rumor has it that they actually made an album that could be argued is prog but I've not made any effort to hear it.

No that isn't an insult like your mama wears combat boots, although growing up I think that might have been one that we threw around. Anyhow, a recent SPIN article talks about this and more. http://www.spin.com/articles/opeths-mikael-akerfeldt-huge-abba-fan?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=051712
