    Can't help it. I'm part Swedish, so I have to like Abba. Also part Norwegian, which means I'm a fan of a-Ha, too.

    I love Dancing Queen, for some odd reason, it is sexy to me. I guess I always get lost in the song and feel like I am there in the smoky room with the cute girl, wanting for her to see me, pick me, and then we get lost in the trance and melody of the music.

    Beautiful stuff.

    I have all of their albums except the last one. Waterloo was the first pop song I ever learned to play along with on the piano. You only had to know a few chords to sound really professional, as long as you got the rhythm right and played really loud!

    Most 80s rock, pop, and R&B has its roots in guitar-oriented blues, which makes ABBA a nice, refreshing alternative. Their stuff is mostly keyboard-dominated, and based on classical (mostly Baroque) rhythms and chord progressions.

    I wish we still had that kind of diversity in pop music.

    And above all ABBA was NOT boring and WIMPY like 99,9% of the 80s pop bands because their arrangements were perfect and not exquisitely "easy-listening" all along :)

    ABBA was music of my childhood. I don´t listen to them but when I heard it from somewhere I´m OK.

    Only one song I dislike is "The Winner Takes It All"...tho, there are some songs in the scene which have some energy reminding end of an era...and this song reminds me end of something.

    Last night I watched the ABBA movie. Not the new musical with Meryl Streep; the old original one. It was without a doubt the worst movie I have ever seen, but I enjoyed it very much. The plot was so pathetic that no plot at all would have been an improvement. Why didn't they just make it a band documentary? It centered around a journalist's pathetic attempts to get an in-depth, probing English interview with the group, for radio. That interview could not happen on screen because, as every ABBA fan knows, the girls' English was not very good.

    The movie had great concert footage from the Australian tour promoting The Album (1977 release) as well as some vintage video productions. Great memories. It ended with them back in their private rehearsal studio on a little island, with the viewers knowing that they still had two of their best albums ahead of them. If only the marriages could have lasted... :(

    If you are not a hardcore ABBA fan, I would avoid this film like the plague. I may watch it a second time.
