do you remember this band?


ABBA (1972–1982) was a Swedish popular Rock and Roll group. Like the Beatles, they are considered to be one of the most popular bands of all time.

Love them. I don't how anyone couldn't. "The Winner Takes It All" and "Gimme Gimme Gimme" and "Super Trouper" are my all-time favorites.

How can you forget them^^ THey're pure classic. I wasn't born at the time, but when I listened to my mom's ABBA cds, I loved them, then I researched on them, and my mom told me she used to go to 'discos' with her then boyfriend and her sisters dancing to their songs/
the winner takes it all is my favourite song of theirs ^^

My favourite ABBA song is hands down Knowing Me Knowing You. My dad always listened to them so I grew up on wholesome doses of ABBA, but my mom never like them. I love em. I used to have ABBA cassettes ^^ wooo.

Fernando is a good song to. And Waterloo! And Gimme gimme gimme. Didn't Madonna sample an ABBA song for one of her recent singles?

heh, I know ABBA, but I used to listen to A-Teens' covers rather than their originals. I thought A-Teens had original songs, they were really popular here with Gimme Gimme Gimme - soon after I found out they're covering ABBA.

I was born at the end of their career, but my parents are fans (still are, I gave a copy of my CD to my dad), and I'm a fan. I started getting interested in the early 90s when Erasure covered a few songs and there was a greatest hits album released - I liked those songs. I have a couple of compilation CDs and some TV stuff. I've been trying to get the compilation CD+DVD set, I think there's two different ones, not sure though. I'd love to go see the musical, but when it came here it was only in the capital, which is too far away... My favourite songs are The Name Of The Game, I Have A Dream, Super Trouper and Lay All Your Love On Me.

^Money Money Money ... great one.

I love Mama Mia and Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie aswell.

My mother grew up with them, she owns their complete discography I think, she loved them when she was young and she still like them a lot. I love a lot of their songs, I can't say I really liked their fashion though... . Well, their clothes were kinda normal for that time, but their costumes for live performances were, how should I put it, worse than Ayus? Haha.

Man I've forgotten them since no one really plays their songs anymore around... The good songs I know were... Dancing queen, SOS and Mama Mia. I've been brainwashed by Ayumi xD
