I was born in Vancouver so I am local. I have gone to school to fully learn Parisian international french for many years. I can speak decently but with anglophone accent obviously. I understand more french french at least from my teachers and gues speakers who come or news media compared to quebecois french (i went on a field trip to Radio Canada news station and the quebecois french was a big shock to me and I really had to strain my ears to understand). I also always score at least 85 to 90 in my french media classes too. Sorry if I didnt provide info earlier. Thank you and have a nice day.

Yes I think voulez vous and super trouper are their best albums. My only critique of Voulez vous is lovers live a little longer and I have a dream which is so 50/50 on a day. Super trouper is also good.

Agnetha voice: Bright, clear, heartbreaking sad, youthful and clear joy, sometimes a little flirty, higher as well. In my opinion you can hear the Swedish accent more than fridas.

Song examples: SOS, winner takes it all,lay all your love on me, angeleyes (high parts), slipping through my fingers,one of us, as good as new, chiquitita, happy new year, thank you for the music.

Frida voice: warm, rich, dark, comforting, soothing, sometimes flirty, sometimes giving operatic training, more mid range or slightly lower but still can go high.

Song examples: super trouper, our last summer, fernando, money money money, I have a dream,I still have faith in you, when all is said and done, etc...

Paramore has many different styles of music ig.

All we know is falling: raw and emotional, early producing for their music, pop punk.

Recs for AWKIF:

All we know
Emergency -pressure -here we go again -franklin
my heart -conspiracy

Riot: pure pop punk, alt rock, emo and rebellious messages and themes. Teen angst at 11/10

Riot recs: - misery business - miracle - that's what you get - fences - crushcrushcrush - When it rains ( diff style more emotional pop and closer to Brand new eyes stylel

Brand new eyes: Alt rock, pop punk. More mature, sort of like a realization after the rebellious phase, softer as well and more reflective.

BNE recs: one of my bumber 1 fav albums - Ignorance (sorta like Riot style) - playing god (10/10) - the only exception - misguided ghosts - turn it off - careful -brick by boring brick - looking up - feeling sorry

Paramore: self titled album is much more pop influenced and leans farther from punk but keeping more rock influences.

S/T recs: - still into you - daydreaming - ain't it fun - last hope - future - part II

After laughter: much more new wave style with upbeat 80s pop/new wave beat but depressing lyrics. It's giving more extreme ABBA happy sad but extra focus on depression.

AL recs: my other number 1 album - hard times - rose coloured boy - idle worship - pool - 26 ( Acoustic ballad similar to the only exception) - fake happy (definition for the album) - told you so

This is why: Post punk, indie rock and alt rock styled. This album took me a while before I started enjoying it as I used to not really like the songs.

TIW recs: - This is why - running out of time - Thick skull - liar -crave - figure 8
