I predict we will have Cliff Richard, Take That and the Spice Girls all battling it out then some ridiculous Timmy Mallet meets Mr blobby will come along and pip them at the post.
What do you think? Answers of 'i couldn't care less' not necessary.

Oldspice - Don't be embarrassed by owning Dancing Queen, I have it too. Anything by Abba is top hole if you ask me.

I only bought Dancing Queen. Abba is too pure for me. For music to really move me it has to come with some human experience (Blues, Folk) or be clever and ad lib (Jazz) or be deep and stirring (Mahler, Mozart etc) or have a raw, urban edge (Rolling Stones, Clash, The Animals) or just be clever pop (Beatles, Beach Boys).
I find Abba a bit over-produced. They have a perfect studio sound that i find a bit sterile.

I agree with that. I would much rather a rough performance with raw emotion over an overproduced, polished, sickly sweet studio recording.

I have a Carpenters album. Top that.
Now, for The Carpenters I will make an exception. Karen Carpenter singing Rainy Days and Mondays or Superstar is very moving and her voice is almost as pure as Joan Baez.

She had an amazing voice. It was tragic what happened to her.

I have posted this before because I know Smurfboy likes her, but I would advise anyone to watch this clip of her singing the afore mentioned song.

Ok I admit to having the entire collection of Now that's what I call Music right from the first one. Obviously a lot of them are records not cd's.
I have them all too Lou, but mine are a mixture of cassettes and CDs.
Speaking of the Spice Girls, has the paternity test been done on Mel B's baby yet?

erm, guess who has a Bay City Rollers record?
That would be me. I swear it was a present from my sister in law and I didn't really want it.
