Abba

I seriously respect their music and think that their years recording The Visitors and "The Day Before You Came" resulted in some seriously great songs which were perfectly downbeat while still having their on-target aim for classic hooks. I have been a listener ever since the first Greatest Hits album came to my attention as a kid and love the fact that Benny and Bjorn wrote some of the music for Joe Sarno's The Seduction of Igna before Abba turned into the chart-conquering group.

One of the first bands that I fell in love with with The Beatles

I love Andate Andate perhaps one of the few unknown songs.

ABBA is one of the best pop acts ever imo.

I guess their music can be easily enyojed by different generations, which is what pop music is supposed to be about in the first place!

one of my favs... why did Agnetha always seem to get less exposure vs. Frieda? She was the better singer out of the two.

ABBA superfans must be jizzing themselves!

I prefer Don't shut me down. It's really quite fascinating because they don't seem to have evolved one bit and that's exactly how it should be.

Great song and music. Helps you relax and think about a lot of things. It's been a long time since I've had one of these.

Too bad the thread has descended into arguments about music genres and labels, instead of
discussion of ABBA. Does it really matter when they were pure pop, pop/rock, or something else? It's all music.

ABBA's a good band but I think they were probably a little overhyped. That always tends to hurt a band's reputation regardless of how good they are.
