So guys and gals of the forum, what's your top 10 toons from the Swedish musical maestros?
Carolus Rex - Sabaton Midway - Sabaton Primo Victoria - Sabaton The Price of a Mile - Sabaton Cliffs of Gallipoli - Sabaton Ghost Division - Sabaton Metal Crüe - Sabaton Metal Machine - Sabaton Ruina Imperii - Sabaton Wolfpack - Sabaton
Sorry, but not too big on ABBA. Unlike alot of the music made today, it does not make my ears bleed, but it is not a band I listen to alot. So for me, Sabaton are the Swedish maestros, followed by Hammerfall, Ultima Thule and CLawfinger

Fair do's.
There must be others out there that are capable of recognising ABBA's greatness??
Anyone else?

Been listening lately to an old fav album, Magazine's "Correct Use of Soap". Guess I'm having a midlife crisis or something, going back to my younger listening days.
Here's a fav of mine from the group, although from a different album.

Magazine are a totally underrated band that produced some great music. Particular favourites of mine are the 1st and 2nd albums: 'Real Life' and 'Secondhand Daylight'. I still listen to them a lot even now.

Back in the day, myself and my circle of friends and associates scorned ABBA. As time went along I would hear some of their music and I actually have come to like some of their songs. For me, there are groups and individual artists that I didn't care for in the past but after listening to some of their songs for awhile I actually start to enjoy them...it is like cave man basic learning and psychology!

I have had that experience in the opposite. An artist(Alice Cooper) who I thought was fantastic when a teenager. When I listen to him now(except for a few really good songs) I realize how bad an artist he was. The lyrics of his songs are what an 8 year old could written. I'll say he had one song that was morally conscientious when he sang about people not caring for there children. Some say he was talking about abortions.

Hold your horses, Warspite, I've been out all day!
In best 'Top of the Pops' tradition, in descending order:
10 Under Attack 09 Hey, Hey Helen (as covered by the band Lush) 08 Chiquitita 07 S.O.S. 06 Head Over Heals 05 Ring Ring 04 Waterloo 03 Voulez Vous 02 Fernando 01 The Winner Takes It All

Imo, Alice Coopers main contribution to music is his influence on the shock-rock scene. But he does have some good songs, although most of them makes the most sense when you are still in school

I have yet to reach that stage of enlightenment.
I would call it animal behavior!
I went an looked back at his list of songs. I didn't realize he made so many albums. And I was too fast with my judgment of Alice. I went to one of his concerts. He is a great showman. Also the lyrics his song "My God" shows he did have depth in some song selections.Heres an example.
If I should find myself in blackest night And fear is stabbin' me all over A tiny prayer cracks the dark with light And I here sounds behind my wall Inside, a still small voice it calls and calls Then like a thunder bolt it falls and falls
My God
When life becomes more real than children's games Or we've become too old to play them We'll grow old gracefully, we'll hide our shame But there's that voice behind the wall And like my conscience it is still and small Each word is mercy, protects us all
My God
Et in lux perpetuo Deu domine Et in pax aeternus Deu domine
I was a boy, when tempted fell sometimes And fell so low, no one could see me Save for the eyes of Him that sees my crime When sheep like me have drifted, lost All frightened children who are tempest, tossed Sown flies His wrath like an albatross
My God

Unfortunately I have a headache today so I prefer to listen to Richard Clayderman instead. I've recommended Ballade Pour Adeline here before but inspired by Warspite1 I do recommend it once again.
