Who remembers Ace of Base?

Postby UTERUS » Wed Jun 28, 2006 7:15 pm

If you are old school enough to remember Ace of Base, did you like 'em?

Some songs to jog your mind....

The Sign
All that she wants
Don't turn around
It's a beautiful life



What are your thoughts
It is a myth that emos are contagious, and you may be infected. However, it is still widely accepted to wash your hands after physical contact

I remember them.

They are pretty good for their time. But by far not the best. 8)

I loved their song The Sign and it still reminds me of doing jazzacize at primary school and Stephanie's band singing it on Full House.

Reminds me of the episode of South Park where they discovered the man from 1992 and exhibited him in his natural habitat :lol:

They're Swedish iirc.

I didn't take a lot of notice, at the time I was more taken with Nirvana/Soundgarden/Pearl Jam/Chili Peppers et. al.

Motorsport is like sex. You could take it to track and have a long, enjoyable session, or you could take it to the strip and get it over with in less than 20 seconds.
