Re: Abba

i always meant to get both vols of abba gold.

they have some superb underrated songs.

i just sing along to their songs imagining iam agnetha.
i had a feeling the 2nd volume would feature there lesser known but still very good songs.

I've got both volumes of Abba Gold, the 2nd volume has a lot of very good but overlooked songs.

Re: Abba

I LOVED ABBA, my fan adoration reaching its peak in 1976, when they had three No. 1 hits. I especially had a soft spot for the blonde girl, Agnetha, but then again, a lot of other male ABBA fans did too!

Re: Abba

Yeah there greatest hits definitely made them well known to a generation that probably never heard of them or at least ever heard there songs.

i think abba gold was released a few yrs back may have been a second volume as well.

I like almost all of Abba's songs apart from 1 or 2 of the later ones that are a bit mawkish as thing were beginning to come apart at the seams.

In the 1980s only the better known ones (apart from Dancing Queen oddly, too disco-y?) seemed to get airplay, but after their greatest hits came out in 1992 they seemed to be having a revival with each generation of teenage girls, even before Mamma Mia! opened.

Re: Abba

I love ABBA. A great band with great songs, I have all their albums. The only ABBA song i don't like is Does Your Mother Know. ABBA went really out of fashion in the 80's and early 90's.

Re: Abba

they are probably lesser well know songs.

my fave Abba songs include:

The Way old Friends Do
Arrival
The Visitors
and my ultimate fave...Like An Angel Passing Through My Room.

Re: Abba

those are beautiful songs mate.

all 4 of them brought something to the group.
i remember watching a programme about them and there songs where so complicated in how they made them.
think it was presented by pete waterman.

here you go mate and dont think ive heard this one before.

They both have beautiful voices, and I think their voices blend so well together in a way that usually only singing sisters do.
I quite like some of the solo stuff by Frida (the brunette/redhead), but haven't really checked out Agnetha's solo material.

My top 5 ABBA tracks =
1. The Day Before You Came
2. Money Money Money
3. Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight)
4. When All Is Said And Done
5. Super Trouper

Re: Abba

As a young lad, I always fancied the blonde one in ABBA, then he grew a beard and I went right off him.........

I don't think there was a boy at our school in the 70's who didn't fancy the blonde one

Re: Abba

Greatest Pop group of all time. I admit to not owning any of their songs but see their greatness all-the-same.
