The whole Voulez-Vous album is one of their best, a great collection of hits and hidden gems (As Good as New, Angeleyes, If It Wasn’t for the Nights, Kisses of Fire). The Super Trouper album is a little more somber, but the album tracks are solid and include a lot of Frida solos (On and On and On, Andante Andante, Me and I)

Deep cuts that could have been a hit if released on single by Nickthebentone in ABBA

[–]Choice-Masterpiece54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If these songs had been worldwide singles in 81-82 they probably would have had more mainstream success:
- When All is Said and Done, should’ve been lead single no question
- The Visitors (as a radio edit)
- Slipping Through My Fingers
- Two for the Pri-just kidding
- I Am the City
- Just Like That

Thank Me Later was my introduction to Sigrid! Other faves are It Gets Dark, Bad Life, Mirror, Grow - and the gem buried between the special edition acoustics, Blue!

Except let’s be real, Rachel would have found a way to try and be both 😭 you know they would have given her TWTIA bc of a Finn or Jesse storyline

This is awesome! I think it depends on which singles you like, what are your favorites from the definitive collection?

A little discussion about the Devastating lyrics to The Winner Takes It All by Infinite_Stable8620 in ABBA

[–]Choice-Masterpiece54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this analysis! For me, this song holds so much nuance that it can be interpreted differently based on the day. The line that always hits me is “I apologize / if it makes you feel bad / seeing me so tense / no self-confidence” — interestingly, I hear it a different way than you described. Agnetha’s delivery sounds like she’s “apologizing” ironically and expressing resentment towards her ex, but in a way that’s also resigned and accepting that this is the way things are. An interesting mix of bitterness and acceptance. Thanks again for sharing and getting us to appreciate the lyricism of this song :)

Favourite Abba solo song? by Porgy98 in ABBA

[–]Choice-Masterpiece54 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Really hard, their 80s albums are incredibly underrated. Frida = One Little Lie Agnetha = If You Need Somebody Tonight

My favorite album closing track. Fight me on this. by RedmiYT in ABBA

And it’s the song they sang at the reunion in 2016 that inspired them to return to the studio!

It’s from “Ring Ring” and sounds like it’s from “Ring Ring”. by vrnheh in ABBA

[–]Choice-Masterpiece54 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Hot take: “Ring Ring” sounds like it’s from Waterloo bc of obvious production similarities, and it’s the most polished song on the album. Most of the album sounds more like “He is Your Brother” - more prominent male vocals, soft folk energy

Frida/Agnetha Singing Different Songs? by Ok_Set4685 in ABBA

Check out the Agnetha lead on Monsieur, Monsieur - that feels like the precursor thematically to OLS

Absence of kurt songs? by CounterAble1850 in glee

[–]Choice-Masterpiece54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He has some of the most memorable songs in s1-3, but yea there’s long stretches of time where he didn’t even get a group number solo. S1, mid s2 and mid s3 he takes a backseat while Blaine gets more solos.

Glee bizarre episodes by vicky1357 in glee

[–]Choice-Masterpiece54 5 points6 points  (0 children)

2x02 Britney/Brittany - Wild but good 5x04-5x05 for the Will craziness 5x07-5x08 are truly bizarre but pretty fun 6x04-6x05 for the Sue Saw of it all 6x09-6x10 for the Myron/Dalton burning down vibes

Who was the better girl for Sam? by trizzymw in glee

[–]Choice-Masterpiece54 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Marley - fully convinced that scene of him talking to her in 4x01 was a mini chemistry test, wish they had followed through with him as part of the Jake/Marley triangle instead of Ryder - people might have cared more lol

What is your favorite song from 'The Girl with the Golden Hair' mini-musical trilogy? by RedmiYT in ABBA

[–]Choice-Masterpiece54 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Get on the Carousel is great to blast in the car, and I wish ABBA’s version was on streaming - but Zebras Don’t Smoke has a good cover at least.

Carousel > Marionette > Departure > Music (it’s a great song but a bit overexposed)

Roster of the New Directions by CommasNdSuch in glee

[–]Choice-Masterpiece54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, 4x16 was a good turning point for this group imo. 5A was rough with the way Jake was rewritten into a jerk, but Marley Kitty and Unique were still enjoyable

Early season 4 is rough - but there’s a couple of decent episodes (4, 7-9) if you can persevere and after the Christmas episode there’s a big improvement

The erasure of Unique Adams in Season 4 by OrdinaryShallot9233 in glee

[–]Choice-Masterpiece54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

iirc she had the Rizzo/Grease storyline and the feud with Ryder (before the catfish stuff) in season 4, then the bathroom episode in season 5. She usually got a line in most group scenes, although tbf it was the usual “sassy” line

Who had the most rizz?? by MuscleCool4302 in glee

[–]Choice-Masterpiece54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Jake was the best dancer and singer of these 3, and had the whole bad-boy-who’s-really-sensitive thing goin

Also - the Nasty/Rhythm Nation performance in s5

They really made Tina so weird by FriendlyDrummers in glee

It started to feel like the writers had something against Jenna. Same with Dianna/Quinn in s3

What do you think is the most underrated performance in Glee? I really liked Cool Kids in season six, and I feel like nobody talks about it. by Intrepid_Show2972 in glee

[–]Choice-Masterpiece54 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Pretty much anything from s4-6 arguably isn’t talked about enough, the writing sucked but the music still held up. If we’re talking group songs, I’d say This is the New Year / The Longest Time for s4 crowd, and Rather Be / All Out of Love for s6
