“‘SOS’ is the best pop song ever written,” he once told The Independent. “It has all those Swedish folk elements that tap into whatever elemental musical self we have”.

But that one is David Wain and Ken Marino of The State, and Wet Hot American summer, Stella, etc.

Usually Ken is lead vocals but that song is Jess McKenna, a music improv comedian and regular on Comedy Bang Bang as well as other podcasts.

They're not really that serious of a "band", just a couple of movie stars screwing around with their buddies.

It is a pretty toe-tappin' tune. I always wanted to dislike Abba, but I couldn't help but admire their harmonies.

That's great. Next time you can spare us the details and just upload a video of a monkey pissing in its own mouth.

The harmonies and production on this track are only rivaled by George Martin's on Dear Prudence.

I’m an unabashed ABBA fan from my high school days in the ‘70s.

Early ZZ Top, early Aerosmith, Lynyrd Skynyrd, ELO, etc.

It’s a playlist from Top 40 radio back then. I liked it all.

Mama Mia is also a production masterpiece in my mind. Just a great hook and the guys that produced the sound were geniuses for their time, IMO.

as far as Townsend goes, I don't know exactly why, but I can't really listen to The Who anymore.  I almost always change the channel when one of their songs comes on.  Today I was listening to Sirius Classic Vinyl, and Baba O'Reilly was played, and it sounded like pure noise to me.  I turned it off right quick.

Y'all can fight over the second best pop song. This is clearly #1.

 

Don't take this the wrong way because I like you.

Madonna sucks.

I can list 10 MJ songs that clear that easily.

That's a bold claim. I'd love to offer some counter examples.

How about this one.

@Al Bundy's Napoleon Hand not trying to be a dick btw. Just thought this was a fun convo that I stumbled across.
