At its core, it and its primary influences is as he describes, at the opposite end of the spectrum from what makes great classical music great.Two things I would point out... | |
| Some irrefutable truths about rock and roll I like Abba. Better than many popular rock acts. Good songwriters, good singers, mass appeal out the gazoo.
