That figures... Today's IPO ( Mamma Mia 2 ) will probably have music of another band - not Abba... JMT May 17, 08:45

ELO FTW!!! {nm} Hooray360 May 17, 08:48

YES!!!! but no Pierce Brosnan please.... he can't sing. {nm} secretstalker May 17, 09:57

Pierce Brosnan's singing should be classified as a crime against humanity. {nm} Hooray360 May 17, 10:06

***we have secretly replaced their star with Hugh Jackman in a Pierce Brosnan haircut*** ...let's see if they can tell the difference {nm} RazorHawk May 17, 10:19

Marlee Matlin could tell the difference. {nm} Hooray360 May 17, 10:24

I have never seen an entire theater full of people laugh when someone opened their mouth and started singing like that. {nm} secretstalker May 17, 11:19

Worse singer I ever heard was Joe Namath on stage in Guys & Dolls. I had free tickets. He hit one note so badly the audience groaned. {nm} mrbeankc May 17, 12:47

Could definitely be queen - who else? Bee Gees, perhaps? There aren't many bands up there in Abba's league.. The Beatles? The Beach Boys? {nm} Facto May 17, 09:21

All good calls. But suddenly ( BeeGees - sic ) I'm thinking; Paul Simon and the other guy. ( 20 ways to leave you lover, Like a Bridge over JMT May 17, 09:45

Noone cares about that bridge over Kwai anymore.. No, Simon and Garfunkel are far too melancholic for this kinda film. Remember, this is for Facto May 17, 09:50

Do you really think they can afford The Beatles's catalog? {nm} Hooray360 May 17, 09:53

Done in Across the Universe {nm} RogerMore May 17, 12:18

And agreed on S&G being a poor choice. Their work was primarily ballads. Great music, just a poor fit for this kind of movie. {nm} Hooray360 May 17, 09:54

Michael Teehee... or more seriously; James Brown ? {nm} JMT May 17, 09:57

Beatles already had a movie "All Across the Universe". {nm} Antibody May 17, 10:16

Ace of Base!!! lapuckfan May 17, 09:28

The Pointer Sisters should end this discussion. {nm} journey May 17, 09:38

Queen has its own musical "We Will Rock You". {nm} Antibody May 17, 09:45

Abba had two own musicals before Mama... The girl with the golden hair and Abbacadabra {nm} JMT May 17, 09:49

I mean We Will Rock You is on stage right now. {nm} Antibody May 17, 09:55

And their music is too male oriented, while the Mamma Mia-producers will look to capitalize on a mainly female following for this budding Facto May 17, 09:57

BTO -- Bachman Turner Overdrive , Boston & Journey ! {nm} joeoftexas May 17, 10:01

At this rate, you'll never be a movie producer, for sure... ;-) Facto May 17, 10:05

Fleetwood Mac - comes with built in story! {nm} RazorHawk May 17, 10:20

That's a pretty good idea. {nm} second gary May 17, 12:45

I love the Mac, but they have few sing-a-long songs - other than Don't Stop, which they played during Clinton's inauguration.. {nm} Facto May 17, 13:16

Probably EMO. {nm} HollywoodTycoon61 May 17, 10:27

during what time period did Meryl and her friends have that girl group?...maybe songs from that period? {nm} tealfan May 17, 11:42

Could be ELO, could be ELP, could be XTC, could be BTO, could be REM, but wasn't it the music of Abba which made the movie work at all? second gary May 17, 12:43
