My favorite(s) are Chiquitita and Carrie, Not The Kind of Girl You Marry.

Carrie is available on YouTube as a video. Vocals are awesome!

Carrie is actually titled “That’s Me.”

My favorite(s) are Chiquitita and Carrie (That’s Me.), Not The Kind of Girl You Marry.

I've never heard of any of these. Did they come out sometime after their big hits?

Abba rocks. It’s the coolest music my mom ever listened to.

I think they had a hundred songs.

I used to listen to waterlooradio.net, until it went away. All ABBA music, 24/7.

I was also in the closest for Abba. I just watched SOS last night where the girls wore those really short mini skirts and go go boots.

There are various accounts of how many albums they sold but it's upwards of 120 million. John Lennon called "SOS" one of his favorite pop songs.

Pete Townsend called “SOS” the best pop song ever.

Allegedly, he played it nonstop for a year, and drove everyone around him nuts.

I love ABBA. The songs and the voices.

I have watched countless of these music reaction videos. My favorites are seeing people watch Stevie Ray Vaughn for the fist time. He was a beast!!

Virtually every reviewer admits that musicianship is not even close to the same level these days on average compared to what was happening a few decades ago.

Rick Beato’s videos are great as well.

Another one I love is by Frida, after the group ended. It’s called “Come to Me, I am Woman”.

Jamel is awesome. Clearly a guy with a good heart, and he's become a huge fan of progressive rock. Saw a recent one in which he heard Yes "Close to the Edge" for the first time, and moved it to No. 1 on his list.

Opposite end of the spectrum in a sense, but yes, Rick Beato’s videos are great. Breaks down music technically in a way that is understandable (at least sometimes...)for non-musicians.

I’ll have to watch him. I’m a guitar player, and I see that he gives some good lessons and dabbles a little in the basics of music theory. Thanks for that!!

I'll second the Beato vids. He has a genuine love of music that really comes through. He's made me listen to music differently than I used to, which is freaking awesome.

Chiquitita was on their greatest hits album.

That’s Me (Carrie Not The Kind of Girl you Want to Marry)I stumbled upon and not sure when it came out.
