Title: Abba sing the Beach Boys
Post by: Iron Horse-Apples on September 22, 2011, 04:50:18 AM
Yet another band who cite The Beach Boys as a huge influence (always the bands who seem to understand how to write catchy songs)

Apologies if this has been posted before, but here are Abba and Olivia Neutron Bomb singing a couple of BB tracks

I always assumed the influence. Especially on their early albums.

This blows! Proof that being influenced by one of the greatest bands of all time doesn't necessarily mean you're any good.

You think everyone is ghost. That would have to be a pretty elaborate ruse if I were ghost, I've been posting here for like six years pretty regularly.

Some confusion there, Aegir. Just joking around with Ghost and he got it and even had a good comeback (wish they all could be California boys). But Ghost does have more than one profile on here just to add even more to the confusion. In one thread he was even arguing with himself which I found hilarious.
