Aqua, love them or hate them, are a very succesful band to say the least. They brought us the likes of "Barbie Girl" and "Doctor Jones" This mad Danish band are currently working on their third album at a secret location in Denmark and it's likely to be another Euro, manic dance album.

Advantages: Happy Music for Happy people! :) Disadvantages: Your granny wouldn't appreciate them.
...Aquarius, was not so succesful. Aqua have matured (slightly) since the days of pink-haired Barbies and jumpy, childish basslines, as their second album was not quite so chaotic, but still extremely manic! :) A particular favorite on this album is a track called Halloween, and is all about a certain time of the year. Can you guess?
Anyway, if you haven't heard of aqua, I would advice you to stay away. But if you have been drawn into ... more

No, they don't have huge statements about the poverty of the world or the status of the environment; "Barbie Girl" is probably the closest thing to a 'statement' they make, and believe me they got noticed for it. They simply create songs that have a lively beat and are fun to listen to. The kicky pop beats in songs such as "Lollipop", "Happy Boys ...

There is no moral message in any of their songs except to have fun really. Their obvious ...
