Abba in general

I say that most definitely they are. Though they were never given the credit they deserved in the 70's, their music has endured the test of time and is played as much today as it was then. The way they were formed back in the early 70's has always seemed to me a bit like a fairy tale. The two guys, Benny and Bjorn, meet and discover they have similar ideas about music. They write a few songs together, then realise that the vocals would sound much better with female voices. Enter Benny's girlfriend Anni-Frid (Frida) and Bjorn's girlfriend Agnetha. The rest, as they say, is history! You will almost never see a group these days formed spontaneously ...  Read the complete review

Abba came from Sweden and were made up of two married couples. In1974 they won the Eurovision Song Contest with their record Waterloo, they made a lot of really good records such as Take A Chance On Me, Name Of The Game and Dancing Queen. In1977 they made a film called Abba The Movie it was a really good film, it has been on the television loads of times, and it never seems to get boring. Over the next three years both couples in the group got divorced, but despite this they still carried on making records such as Winner Takes It All, One Of Us, and The Day Before You Came. They released a double album in 1982 called The Singles The First Ten Years, it was a good album ...  Read the complete review

Come on admit it everyone is a closet Abba fan. We owe a lot to these guys they have done so much for pop music. Where would we be without Waterloo, Dancing Queen and Money, Money, Money? Think how boring karaoke competitions would be and what songs would everyone play to get a party going? Abba have released some great albums which are perfect for any occasion be it a party, evening in or just crusing in the car. I would recommend Abba Gold because it has an awesome combination of the best hits. Unfortunately the words aren't included, but they are easy enough to pick up. Abba is always a must to sing along to with their completely unique "poppy" ...  Read the complete review

Wonderful Stuff: Even though this was a repeat and there have been other TV programmes about ABBA this particular show excells -with not only the ABBA hits but also the ABBA arrangements and the background to the new London ABBA based musical. The interviews are excellent, with comments and input from ALL of the band in person ( this was said to be the first time that this had happened). Bjorn and Benny told of how they went about re-writting their music to fir in with the new musical, and it made facinating television. They have reained as faithfull as posible to the original processes and the secrets of their unique 'mix' ...  Read the complete review

ABBA are a classic group. They will go down in history as one of the best bands ever, and certainly Sweden's best export (I hate Volvos!). The band's name is made of of the members Christian names, which I'm sure everyone knows are Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny and Anna-Frid. They have produced dozens of all-time classic hits, such as "Dancing Queen", "Waterloo", "The Winner Takes It All", "Mamma Mia" and "Money, Money, Money". This band will never be forgotten as they were just sooo good! ...  Read the complete review
