If I failed in any way to communicate my love for ABBA, it was not intentional (hell, I've played them on POP OFFENSIVE as much or more than any other artist.)It's just that, while I was writing this article, my 18 year old punk rock self was giving me a disgusted side-eye and shaking his head in bitter disappointment the whole time--which, as you might imagine, was a little distracting.Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15890338576052689861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7118098779778491600.post-48537045091962349532016-09-06T19:37:01.499-07:002016-09-06T19:37:01.499-07:00Ha!

As a somewhat dedicated pop enthusiast, I have to admit that "musical lithium [...] to happily vibrate along to" isn't an altogether inaccurate way to determine just what I'm often looking for when I turn on the stereo. I also like glam. So you won't be surprised that I dig ABBA more than halfway--anyone who has spent any amount of time fondly drinking away an evening with Australians can likely relate--but I <i>am</i> a little surprised that the man who turned me on to the Delrons seems to like them rather less than that.<br /><br />I'm more surprised by the way you've casually dismissed Cyndi Lauper, though. Her award-winning <i>Kinky Boots</i> soundtrack is hardly a vanity parade of legacy hits; it's an honest-to-god work of theater, divorced, at least as much as possible, from the rest of her discography. It has little in common with <i>Mamma Mia</i> for sure, and rather less marquee signature than Prince's soundtrack for <i>Batman</i> or Madonna's for <i>Dick Tracy</i>, though it resembles those albums a bit more. Maybe I'm being a nerd drawing these distinctions, but the projects seem night an day to me.<br /><br />Anyway, great list!Mr. Cavinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01634994342702518448noreply@blogger.com
