I love ABBA

Sure, they may be horrifically produced and a bit syrupy, but they are solid gold pop songs

particularly amazing is Does Your Mother Know?

Abba 'Gold'

genuinely one of my favourite albums of all time - who cares if it's a Greatest Hits.

Definitely SOS

i think that's my favourite. i'd love to be able to do a rock cover of it, i think it might work.

SOS is a song that's very close to my heart

This must be point/counterpoint thread day

Abba lovers tend to fall into 1 of 2 major categories: either European or have rainbow bumper stickers on their cars. ;)

You ever see "Montenegro"?

I have been loving ABBA ever since seeing that movie.

A Stockholm housewife runs off with Romanian Gypsies.

Abba-centric JAG

Everyone who brought ABBA luv to this thread should go out and get "Distortion" by The Magnetic Fields. There are some tracks on it that really smack of ABBA.
As if ABBA had added a baritone male to their voice mix and gotten Phil Spector to produce- seriously, you love it.

Stephin Merritt is an ABBA fan.

this should ease your pain:

get hold of a copy of "montenegro"- a movie about a Swedish housewife who runs off with a group of Yugoslavian gypsies. It's the darkside of ABBA.

They are amazing!!!

It annoys me when people I'm joking when I say they have greater artistic merit than Jimi Hendrix or Pavement.
