The "We Love Abba" thread

[backfromvenus]

So, I've just bought this...

www.amazon.co.uk/Albums-Abba/dp/B001F9Y2CM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1238347688&sr=8-3

I had "Abba Gold" and "More Abba Gold" anyway but I am loving this set.

My parents were big Abba fans. They had all the albums on record and used to play them a lot when I was younger. But when my parents split up, my Dad took all the records with him and I haven't heard most of the album tracks since then..and that was 13 years ago.

It's so amazing to hear tracks like "I've Been Waiting For You", "One Man, One Woman", "Hole In Your Soul", "If It Wasn't For The Nights", "Me and I", "Soldiers" and "As Good As New" all over again. I listened to them all from start to finish today and WOW! I still know all the words and still dance my tits off like a mad man to them. It's bringing back so many amazing memories. And of course, the boys were pop GENIUS'S and the girls had the amazing voices.

I really never got into Abba.

My friend dragged me to see that mamma mia a while ago. It was an ok movie, still not crazy about the songs.

But there was one, i think The Winner Takes It All, that really spoke to me. I tried listening to Abba's version, and I couldnt really get into it. But it has some really astonishing lyrics.

^BLASPHEMY!
I've been listening to Abba since I was in the womb LOL!
You know how certain artists just stick with you from being so young. Abba, Fleetwood Mac, Blondie and Joni Mitchell and the 4 that have stuck with me for as long as I can remember.

haha i hear ya!! I grew up with Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Lou Reed... so of course Im huge fans today. My parents however never listened to Abba. My friends' parents did, though, so you're not alone in your fandom!

I'm a big Abba fan! My mum was obsessed so I grew up listening to their music. I don't listen to it too much anymore, but I still appreciate it! I've got Abba Gold in my car, it's fun to sing along to! I loved Mamma Mia the film, still need to go and see it at the theatre though, it was soooo good. Meryl Streep is amazing!

I adore ABBA! Voulez-Vous and Money, Money, Money are great. I love almost everything they've done.

I watched Mamma Mia last week and I liked it! The music worked so well with the story. Especially Voulez-Vous, The winner takes it all and LAY ALL YOUR LOVE ON ME, which is my favourite ABBA-track! Wow, shivers down my spine whenever I hear that! And the scene was really hot in the movie... ;D
