Is "                           " pronounced "the thread formerly known as ABBA"?

So, a blog site has thoughtfully shared free downloads of their entire catalogue today. Tbh none of that excited me and of the various compilations included I already had a copy of the heavy metal tribute. But, I did help myself to the Gregorian Chant reworkings of their finest moments

I may be indebted to you all day today.  I also have most of what I'd want ABBA-wise as well, but certainly a few I can grab.

EDIT: No longer indebted.  The links are sketchy.   GL to you if you download from them.  I'll steer clear.

The Abba comeback is launching tonight with a promotional special on Aussie TV. In the ads for the special, they all seem to be in wonderful health (naturally). I'll have a look at it.

 

Meanwhile, here is a photo of the four old Swedes for you:

Their music acts as an Excellent tool to calm child passengers in cars. Turn on either Their Best Hits CD or the Mama Mia CD. Keeps the kiddos quiet and calm. A god-send to Grand Parents.

Are they ever going to get round to releasing this new music? If ever we could do with a lift.

How many bands with 4 plus members have all made it to 70 plus? Must be fairly rare.

Hopefully not. Personally I don't need new ABBA-songs. And I don't want them to disassemble themselves and their iconic status to be scratched.

Sadly (as his career ending so young to demons was a waste of amazing talent) Danny Kirwan disagrees with this.

 

Although we are in a world where the original Black Sabbath quartet have all reached 70. Somehow.

The American Breed all got to 70+ (though one is now dead). Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young all made it to 70.

Not a band as such but how about Simon and Garfunkel.

Golden Earring, at least the core four members who’ve all been playing together for the last 50 years. Dunno about some of the ancillary members who came and went, but all of them who were notable enough to get Wikipedia articles are 70+ and still alive.

 

The original members of Slade (the 1966-92 lineup) are all still alive. Jim Lea turned 70 last year, and he’s the youngest.

 

The classic lineup of Genesis is almost there, if they can all hang on for the next 10 months. Banks, Hackett, and Gabriel have all turned 70, and Collins and Rutherford are both 69.

Let's call it the original line-up rather than the classic line-up, unless you want to go all Saxondale

Amazingly, all the Rolling Stones who made (arguably) their best stabs at a great album - Sticky Fingers (1971)  and Exile on Main Street (1972) - are still breathing

 

About as likely to reform in that line up as ABBA, mind

Post this then shut the fuck up bc it's getting to be a bit too anorakish but...

 

Was doing some research on two hit wonders Bern Elliot and the Fen Men today. 

 

So far as I can see all five of this mob - who were pretty much done by 1964 are still alive

 

Obit chances other than Bern would be marginal at best

Not at all.

It is nice to learn something once in a while, even if thick twats like me don't always take it in.

Your posts are the glue that holds it all together, in the way it all works here.

Ta.

Odd timing. I added them to page one of the UK Singles Chart thread only yesterday. I found the same thing. They're all alive (unless any of them have died off radar).

The Moody blues all made 70. If Don Rathbone is still alive or made 70, then so did the original Hollies line up.
