An extremely interesting topic.

I was a singer songwriter for over a decade and far preferred composing my own pieces as opposed to playing existing records even by artists that I idolised.

‘Ain’t No Sunshine’ by Bill Withers is an amazing piece of music and you experience the work of a heartfelt wordsmith upon every single revisit.

However Zakk Wylde of BLS fame did a haunting rendition that I would strongly recommend if you haven’t had the privilege.

Zakk is naturally at home with hard rock and metal stonkers but strips all the overdrive and other effects you have come to associate with him as a performer and delivers a haunting stripped back acoustic cover.

Ok this is a stretch.

There was, in my eyes, an iconic song created but in a TV scenario.

The creation was via two catholic priests fitting a former failed Eurovision song B side to their words for a new Eurovision entry.

It counts as it's a song and there is a cover

Creation.

The cover. Two guys.

These guys are phenomenal. Leonid and friends (lots of friends!)

 

[Hornbein]

The bass player is the star for me. Loose and solid at the same time. Few can ever do that. Note how prominent in the mix. That hardly ever happens for a bass player. Maybe the trick is to key off of the singer.



Tom Scholz's bass playing is really good. Also Steven Stills and Jimi Hendrix.

Wow, I just found two covers which I did not know about...
...I was genuinely very surprised as I am a fan of both artists...
But who could have guessed that they were also fans of eachother?
...reality is sometimes weirder than poetry, I guess ...

David Bowie covers ABBA:s "The Winner Takes It All"
Quote: "RARE AUDIO - Recorded inbetween sessions for Bowie's Let's Dance Single at The Power Station in Manhattan in 1982. Bowie apparently played around a lot with the song and really wanted to record it properly, but it was never to be."


Original: here

ABBA:s Frida covers David Bowies "Life On Mars?", translated to Swedish:


Original: here

I like both covers, but as often, the originals are the best.
But I really liked Bowies "naked" version of "The Winner Takes It All", it is very fragile, sad and emotional.

Everyone was and is a big ABBA fan. Elvis to Lemmy, Biden to Putin, Thatcher to Starmer, Hawking to Brian Cox. They cross boundaries.

EDIT: A pfer asked for evidence of this and I have none it is my guess my references liked ABBA. The people I used were polar opposites to make a point.

We do this one in the tribute. The drum intro is "Pictures of home," off Machine head but a bit slower I think.
Ian Paice, the best rock drummer for me.

Those kids are amazing though. If you stuck them on our gear with a good sound engineer they would nail it.

Yes.
And your quote prompted me to tell a little personal story....

As you very well know I am a BIG ABBA fan (not so much of their more easy/cheesy pop, but of their experimental and really creative music, which I think is just fantastic), and I was a fan from a very early age.

But one thing I never quite understood was how darn popular they were outside of our small country.
Because it was highly unusual (and it has never been even nearly repeated by any other Swedish artist to such a big extent). And I was young then too and did not travel much to other countries either.

You see, we are a really small country (about 8 million people back then), and we were definitely not famous for our music, until ABBA came and broke all the rules.

Since I never quite understood how they managed to appeal to such a wide audience, I decided to research it to find out, because it IS so unusual.

Look at this chart, it is crazy:

Seeing this chart is just crazy for a Swede. First is the Beatles (of course), then Queen (I can see that) and then... ABBA? What? Before Rolling Stones? And U2?

Why? Here's my take on it after my research:

1. They were incredibly versatile, playing many different music styles (so did the Beatles), e.g. pop, rock, experimental and even musical-like
2. They actively mixed different styles into new unique styles (so did the Beatles)
3. They had (at least) TWO ridiculously good composers in the band (as did the Beatles)
4. They wrote easy listening stuff, but they also wrote very advanced music (so did the Beatles)
5. Even so, they both still had a unique sound; if your hear The Beatles or ABBA you can not mistake it for something else.

And there are probably more comparisons with the Beatles I haven't thought of yet .

Here is a interesting video which actually started my personal research on the topic; in this video they ask this very question to other composers and artists:

Why we all love ABBA | DW History and Culture​

Bonus fun, because it is SO weird for me as a Swede to see this... :

John Lydon, the lead singer of the iconic punk band Sex Pistols here tells his older punk audience that Sid Vicious' favorite band was ABBA. And then they sing along to "Fernando":



You see, this just blows my mind. My brain can't really comprehend that UK anti-establishment punk rebels, without any irony at all, like ABBA. It just doesn't make sense . But it sure is fun .

 

[fresh_42]

As you very well know I am a BIG ABBA fan (not so much of their more easy/cheesy pop, ...

I once read a discussion about their "easy/cheesy pop." IIRC it was "Thank you for the music" but I am not sure. Anyway, the message was that their music is all but not easy. They have sophisticated harmonies and baselines. What may sound like "easy/cheesy pop" is the result of hard work hiding the actual complexity.

"Thank you for the music" is not the easy listening/cheesy I was thinking about.
That song is spectacular, and far from easy, and it's from their very creative album called "The Album", probably my favorite album if I have to choose one.

Regarding easy listening pop I was thinking more about songs like "Ring Ring", "Take A Chance On Me", still good songs, but definitely not among their best (in my subjective opinion).

Excellent songs on "The Album" (according to me):

• Eagle (just stunning, it's like a fantasy)
• The Name of the Game (simply an incredible mix of genres if you analyze it, one analysis here, another great analysis here by a pro DJ. My note: excellent verse, bridge, chorus and break, AND they mix styles in the same song... the verse is mystical and groovy, then it goes into a classical bridge and then into a killer chorus sounding a bit like the Beatles AND they also get in psychedelic guitars AND a capella parts... in the same song!
  In short: it takes a musical genius to manage to pull that off in the same song, there is no doubt.
• Move On (a mix of genres and very deep existential lyrics)
• Hole In Your Soul (a crazy mix of genres, and a dedication to rock'n roll from this pop band, and the verse could have been the Beatles)
• Thank You for the Music - spectacular, a mix of quality pop, and sounding very close to a piece from a musical
• I Wonder (Departure) - incredibly emotional
• I'm A Marionette - crazy experimental music, and a superb verse

A shoutout goes also to "The Visitors" on their last album
Very unusual for ABBA, much more serious and really, really dark, and with synthesizers that are just out of this world... with VERY weird sounding vocals in the verse.
And what is the lyrics about? It's a mystery to the listener.
Listen to it, and make a judgment...

Then, read this spoiler:

Spoiler

It is about political dissidents in the Soviet Union. A protest song against the treatment of political prisoners in the Soviet Union, disguised as an experimental piece.
- and some people say that their music wasn't deep... well, they were wrong.

Edit:

I just have to add something regarding the song "The Visitors"...
It was released in 1981 and wasn't very successful, partly because it did not sound like the usual ABBA.

But it was SO ahead of its time that people didn't understand that ABBA was breaking new ground
with it. It is now categorized as a synth-pop/art rock song, but people did not get it at the time, because no-one had heard such music before.

It is essentially ABBA pioneering into the dark wave and goth genre that became popular later in the 1980s by UK bands like Depeche Mode, The Cure, Soft Cell etc.

Phil Collins later told ABBA they should have released it as the opening single for that album.

And I challenge anyone to find a song from that time that sounds just like it...
...I don't think there is any. It is something like as if Vangelis or Jean Michel Jarre decided to make a dark synth song with lyrics. It is very unique. Here is one who gets it, but he's more than 40 years late .

 

[fresh_42]

Regarding easy listening pop I was thinking more about songs like "Ring Ring", "Take A Chance On Me", still good songs, but definitely not among their best (in my subjective opinion).

I bought Waterloo back in the '70s. I was probably one of a few who liked the B-side "Watch Out" even more.

The day before yesterday, Duane Eddy passed away. Younger, I always knew Peter Gunn by The Art of Noise. This one fits in this thread.

The Warning (formed in 2013) is a rock group of three sisters from Monterrey, Mexico.​

​

They had a well-viewed cover [now at 25M views] (2014) Enter Sandman - METALLICA Cover - The Warning​

when guitarist Daniela "Dany" was 14, drummer Paulina "Pau" was 12, and bassist Alejandra "Ale" was 9. Metallica invited them to contribute to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Metallica_Blacklist (2021).​

​

This track, S!CK, is from their fourth album Keep Me Fed (2024).​

​

While I was looking at Maximum Friction, who was featured in the Over the Mountain covers (#1354) ,​

I saw that they had covered S!CK and was pleasantly surprised to find a few others who covered the song. It's nice to see covers of songs from a relatively-new band that I've liked.​
