Mamma mia: ABBA beats Pink Floyd in poll

Posted November 24, 2009 by Floydian Slip

Music fans in Britain would like to see members of ’70s pop group ABBA reform more than Pink Floyd.

Music licensing firm PRS for Music conducted the poll of 1,500 Britons, which revealed 25 percent wished most for a reunion of Anni-Frid Lyngstad, Bjorn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Agnetha Faltskog —better known as ABBA.

The Police were second in the survey (13 percent), with Floyd tied at number three with The Smiths (11 percent).

Here’s the top 10:

ABBA
The Police
Pink Floyd
The Smiths
Oasis
The Jam
Dire Straits
The Clash
Spice Girls
Sex Pistols

ABBA last performed live in 1982.

Vintage Floyd album becomes vintage wine

Posted November 19, 2009 by Floydian Slip

Wines That Rock has started selling a “Dark Side of the Moon”-branded wine.

The wine, a 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon, is available for purchase at the company’s Web site and will be in stores in 2010.

“Cabernet Sauvignon reflects the hauntingly dense, timeless character of Pink Floyd‘s masterpiece album,” the company says.

The “Dark Side” vintage is the first of three rock-inspired wines the company has made. The others are the Rolling Stones “Forty Licks Merlot” and a “Woodstock Chardonnay.”

The Floyd variety comes in 3-, 6- and 12-bottle packs for $50.97, $101.94, and $203.88, respectively.

Wines That Rock was founded by Ron Roy and is a partnership between rock management company RZO and the Mendocino Wine Co.
