I don't know if Abba's singers are more female than Slipknot, but they certainly make better music. ------------- "In war there is no time to teach or learn Zen. Carry a strong stick. Bash your attackers." - Zen Master Ikkyu Sojun |

ABBA Bjorn and Benny were fellow travellors of prog. A fact obscured by the domination of their songs by the incessant disco beats in the later 70s. Listen to that keyboard sound once again. If you doubt this, I refer you to Genesis' Duke album recorded at ABBA's Polar Studio. Also the sometime Gods of Rock, Led Zeppelin, recorded their final LP In Through the Out Door there as well. And being Gods of Rock, they would have had to be prepared for flak over using the studio of a mere pop group.

Well said. ABBA are massively underrated these days by "serious" musicians - it's a huge pity that the "cheese" crowd seem to own them. They're substantially more than cheese - I would suggest that "ABBA The Album" is pretty close to prog rock. |

i voted for Slipknot - On the basis that "Dancing queen" is in my top 10 all time hated pieces of music - ABBA ? - How can anybody vote for such an abhorrent example of bubblegum music ??? And the wimmin were mingin................. ------------- Play me my song, here it comes again |

ABBA were great musicians. 99% of their output is utter cheese, but there were moments of musical genius, and tremendous melody SOS was always the song I liked the most, Dancing Queen and Mama Mia weren't bad either, from a musical perspective. Slipknot? Well, I'm sure they're quite good musicians too, but they also happen to make a god awful racket that I am simply too old to appreciate or give a sh!t about. Sorry. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

The slipknot I have heard was very reminiscent of 80's thrash - How can that be bubble-gum (appealing to teenie-boppers and mums etc) ??? ------------- Play me my song, here it comes again |

I agree with your suggestion that ABBA the Album is pretty close to prog rock - it is the only ABBA album I admit to owning - and I think it's their best -------------

Slipknot are the Superdrug of music Bubblegum metal - for 12-year old kids to chew up and spit out quickly as soon as they realise it loses what little flavour it has in seconds. At least IKEA make reasonable quality stuff compared to MFI and the really sh*te chains |

ABBA. They used Mellotron on their first 2 singles so they get my vote. As far as I know Slipknot have never used a Mellotron and I'm not willing to find out judging by what I've heard of them -------------

Slipknot is crappy because they dress up as clowns AND take themselves seriously. They also suck because 99% of the Slipknot fans I have met (excluding frenchie) are ignorant and arrogant. And they have something like seven members and could get rid of four and still sound the same. At least ABBA has members that serve an (evil) purpose and their fans aren't extremely arrogant and annoying. They are still both evil though ------------- "O' lady look up in time o' lady look out of love 'n you should have us all O' you should have us fall" "Bill's Corpse" By Captain Beefheart |

Please let me remind you that the question is NOT which one is BETTER. The question IS: Which band has the most voluptuous female singers? Definitely SLIPKNOT! Have you seen the beautiful breasts and bums the two lead singers of Slipknot have? AWESOME! |

There's no Michael Bolton vs. Cher thread, what kind of place do you think this is.
