Seriously, Ace of Base, *SMH*!!! When they came out here originally with the OG version of "Happy Nation" and later "All that she wants" and so on, I thought it was the most clumsy, amateurish bullshit ever. They even clowned them on the swedish grammys by referring to them as "austrian reggae". I couldn't even imagine that these fools-who included a "white power" musician and some fools from one of the gazillion Depeche Mode/Yazoo rip offs that existed locally in the 80's-would top the *US* charts and sell an extra-ordinarily amount of records.

Granted, swedish internationally successful acts after ABBA had a tendency to be horrendous; see:Europe ("the Final Countdown"; their first two albums are straight though), Roxette ("It must have been love", "The look" etc.) not to mention the wackest "Hip-hop" act ever (=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WmeD8A-pa4 )

However, Ace of Base were just *supremely* euro-cheese wack, I just couldn't believe it...

Serious question:was any of you actually jamming Ace of Base? Like, you thought that was *cool*/good/whatever? In sweden, only people with no interest in music or country cornballs dug that shit...
