Aqua

[Millia Billia]

What did you think of them? I absolutely love their pointless, childish sounding fun music, particularly "Happy Boys & Girls" and "Cartoon Heros". :)

[Venom]

I really dislike the music they make.

[Chris]

Their music is totally pointless. But if you listen to it just for fun, I guess it's not that bad at all.

[ff7+ff10 gurl 100]

Arent they the ones that sing that Barbie Girl song? Annoying out of my mind. :)

Yes, that's them, but "Barbie Girl" is probably my least favorite song by them.

[Chris]

I actually like "Cartoon Heroes" and "Dr. Jones". :(

[Shoden]

Barbie Girl was a very disturbing song, and the videos to their songs were weird as hell.

[Germ Hamee]

I love Aqua, with their terribly perverted and sarcastic lyrics disguised as poppy pre-teen music. I really admired that they were devoted to growing as artists, and I'm kind of sad that they broke up before releasing their third album. The clips I heard sounded NOTHING like the Aqua of Aquarium days.

*GASP* THey were working on a THIRD album?! Dammit all!

I kinda liked 'em. They were okay for just something fun to listen to.

[Levian]

Cartoon Heroes ain't all that bad. Otherwise, I guess it's more the kind of music you listened to when you were a kid.

[starseeker]

I think they're music is cool. Its just so random and funny.

[Acid Raine]

They arent bad. The hyper-sugary songs like Barbie Girl and Candyman can get on your nerves, but listen to songs like "Aquarius" and "We Belong to the Sea". Your opinion of them will change.

[Cid Vicious]

Most of their stuff was pure evil. :radred:
But Turn Back Time was a good song.
When they were serious with their music they were'nt that bad.
And the girl was hot. :hot:

[Spiffing Cheese]

They were so insane and pointless they were awesome. Barbie Girl and Doctor Jones were hilariously stupid. xD

I kind of agree with Levian, I thought they were brilliant when I was little. And The Venga Boys. :cool:

Oh man I really want to listen to The Venga Boys now. :mad2:

[Old Manus]

I remember the music only because it is always played at 5-year old birthday parties by some 'hip' and 'urban' DJ who has a small p - laylist

[Samuraid]

I really dislike the music they make.

[Itsunari 2000]

Aqua ? Oh, the Scandinavian pop band, with the bald guy ?

Their music was painfully happy.

[Zeldy]

Aqua ? Oh, the Scandinavian pop band, with the bald guy ?

Oooh. I didn't know they was Scandinavian :]

I used to absoloutly love them. I always used to play their cassette in the car when I was little.

[Itsunari 2000]

Yeah - of course, there must be many Scandinavian bands who just happen to have folicularly men in them. Who cares, really ? I just remember them for their nationality, a chromedome and irritating music.

[rubah]

I love Aqua xD They are a ton of fun in the sun. But really I prefer their first cd.

It's like the best music ever for coloring. I can pop it in the computer and turn my speakers way up and color for hours. I have to take tracks out, like Good Morning Sunshine (I hate that song xD) That and Be a Man and Turn Back Time.

Everything else is awesome xD I think I like My Oh My, Dr. Jones, and Candyman the best. I remember being really little and skating at Skate Station listening to that song:D Good times^_^

I didn't like Aquarius nearly as much-- I had a thing for Cartoon Heroes and Freaky Friday, but they didn't age as well as the songs on Aquarium.

Did Aquarium really just come out in 1997? It seems like I remember it from so long before that:O

[Anaisa]

When I was about ten, (I think) somebody paid me to sing one of their awful songs. I think it was the one about Barbie. So I took the cash and did it. Later they denied ever giving me the money and pretended to everyone that I wanted to do it of my own accord. So since then I've passionately despised Aqua! People still make jokes about me being an Aqua fan. :mad2:

[Breine]

*sigh* I'm from Denmark and I think it's really sad that Aqua is probably the best known Danish band outside Denmark... ever!

What is even more sad is the fact that I actually own their Aquarium CD... I think every Dane was part of the Aqua-craze back in the days.

Lene, the female lead-singer, actually made a solo CD that flopped and Søren, on of the DJs (the one with the spiky blonde hair), released a spoken-word CD last year - I think - that did quite OK...

Oh, so she did make a CD? Lene, bleh. I can't stand her singing voice! It's so obvious that it's nothing but a gimmick. Her speaking voice sounds totally different. Best known band? I don't agree with that statement. The Savage Rose did actually achieve huge success back in the 60's and 70's.

Oh, I hope you're right because I totally dig The Savage Rose. They're one of the greatest bands ever to come out of Denmark... Thomas Koppel (The writer/producer) unfortunately died a couple of weeks ago, so the band probably won't continue making new music. So sad.

[Chris]

Wait, Thomas Koppel is dead? NO MORE SAVAGE ROSE. Sorry for spamming. :whimper:

[~SapphireStar~]

But Turn Back Time was a good song.
Indeed, that was an excellent song.

[Vava]

I thoght that this band was a German band because it was so annoying XD

[Acid Raine]

Vava, that was racist, and I dont think anyone is 'exdee' ing with you.

It is. Like I said, songs like 'Aquarius' and 'We Belong To The Sea' she uses her real voice (which isnt bad). And, it was a damn sucessful gimmick, if I do say so myself. Who doesnt immediatly recognise Aqua when they hear "I'm a Barbie Girl"? That squeaky voice worked. Sounds hard on the throat, though...

[Loony BoB]

Cartoon Heroes was good. Barbie Girl and Dr. Jones were okay if you hear them for the first time in ages, purely because you can go "Haha, I remember that song! I think I'll listen to it now." But certainly not something I'd keep on my computer or anything.

[Shoden]

Anyone ever heard the Rammstein cover of barbie girl?
