I can't sing or even hear Waterloo without thinking of Agnetha in that blue jumpsuit thingy she wore when they won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974.

Ooooohohohohohohoho...Yesssss! :dance:

How do you upload them onto your I pod?!

Oh yea, loads, Led Zep, Deep Purple, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Elton, ABBA, The Brighouse & Rastrick Brass Band...........all the greats! :mrgreen:

I record them onto the computer using Nero, convert them to mp3 format with Adobe Audition then load them onto my mp3 player or burn them to a CD for playing in the car - or wherever.

That sounds so cool. I've heard record albums sound almost as good as cd's, or ever better.

Btw, I like Led Zeppelin and Heart!

Those styles are sooooo far out, lol! I think they're pretty cool in a very weird and outragous way!

awwww... I was living in Sweden as a youngen when ABBA was big. Thanks for all the memories!! (and YES, they are retro)

My wife and I dated when "Take A Chance On Me" came out by Erasure!
(I always wondered why Erasure didn't cover "Dancing Queen". Seemed like a natural fit to me :lol:

'Dancing Queen'?

-Surely you dont mean: Rudolph Nureyev?.

by **ET Girl** » 10 Mar 06, 4:33 pm

That's nice to hear. And also, it seems like most of us agree that abba's retro.

Where are all the old farts on this forum when you need a bit of moral support??? :twisted:

Looking in "Includes Nudity" thet's where! :lol:

Sorry, Napper. I'm an old fart and had to vote them as retro to make me feel 'cool :lol:

I voted no Napper, but I didn't want to post anything because I knew we wouldn't win. Sorry!

Retro...shmetro...

Think of it this way, Napper. My mother told me about all of the wonderful songs that she grew up on, but those songs did not really carry over into my teenhood. When I was growing up the radio airwaves became consumed with the most wonderful music that (I'm convinced) there ever was and probably ever will be. It's still easy enough to find the kind of music that you guys have been discussing on the radio. My kids grew up loving performers like Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Doors and Led Zeppelin. If people want to call it retro, fine. That doesn't change how good it is.

I think I'm going to start running the other way when I see the word Retro

by **Maxie** » 12 Mar 06, 8:49 pm

you will never get old as long as you keep your head young

Have you ever seen some of these retro performers in concert?

I saw Ringo Starr and his All Star Band with Peter Frampton and Jack Bruce a few years ago and those guys kicked @ss! It was the best concert I'd ever been to. They did a dynamite version of Sunshine of Your Love that lasted for hours, well.....several minutes anyway, and the crowd was blown away!

Peter Frampton had a leisure suit on, I swear, but he could still make his guitar talk.

Let them call it whatever they want to....s'all good.
