You've got a point there. Tad Morose's "Knowing Me, Knowing You" is pretty damn good and it's pretty much straight up. And Abba back in the day is fairly equivalent to what Britney is today.
Well COB did cover Andrew WK and made his shitty music sound good. And Norther
covered Europe's The Final Countdown and thier are rumours that Susperia is
covering a Aha song so it must be in the vodka over there!
You got me wrong, I don't care about CoB. I was shivering at the idea of any band getting DS and BR together (although Alice Cooper came close I think).
Indeed, ABBA may have been cheesy, silly and disco but the composition structure can be adpated very well to metal (check the Metal tribute to ABBA). I doubt Shitney noise can be adpated to anything but organic fertilizer.
