The much berated ABBA, and yes even I berated them back in the day, but 300 years from now, I think their songs will be playing in a jukebox in a somewhere dive bar.

I agree with DallasBiff 100%. If we all listened to ABBA all day there would be no war, divorce, etc. We’d all be happy, all of the time!!

Weird. I’m watching, “Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga”, which mentions ABBA more than once.

Stuff like this happens to me a lot.

My guess - it’ll be at an oasis where you send your camel to bed. Probably around midnight.

The first thing I thought of was the Barney Frank version.

That was absolutely cruel. Now ‘Dancing Queen’ is going to be repeating in my head for the next week.

I always loved them. It was real music. Real songs of my age before drugs and whack took over. One of my favor songs was “Fernando.”

G Gordon Liddy was a huge ABBA fan.

Dancing “Queen” has a whole new meaning in 2023.

I usually enjoy these trips down memory lane. utube has decided that I ain’t welcome with my adblocker even when I gave in and shut it off to view a how to vid, they still won’t let me view their site. I filed a ‘report’ 10 or so days ago and they have yet to respond. Anyone else have this issue? Is there a reasonable work around. FWIW, I also have an active account with them and that matters not.

“The much berated ABBA....”

I always liked ABBA. Once on the radio the deejay was sneering at them. I assumed he was gay.

The girls were so elegant, beautiful, and talented, as opposed to the skanks we have today.

Love Abba. Nothing better than Swedish culture of that era, IMO.

Tommy Johansson does a heavy metal cover of The Winner Takes It All. Very powerful voice:

When I was in college, my best friend and room mate really liked disco (It is where you meet the chicks). I liked heavy metal. The only disco music I liked was ABBA, so it got played a lot.

Still love Fernando, Chicatita, Eagle. Take a Chance On Me is catchy, but doesn't have the stories the first 3 have.

If you've never listened to Eagle, you're missing out on a haunting story they did. Listen to it a couple times and you'll get the fantasy the guys wrote and the girls sang to perfection.
