Must be White Privilege.
From now on everyone must instead watch CardiB to prove they’re attempting to not be racist.
When I was a yoot, it came down to the fact that all the women liked Abba. Since I had no intention of remaining a virgin one nanosecond longer than necessary, I decided that *I* liked Abba.
I guess people just take a chance on buying their music.
I thought Queen outsold the Fab Four. Nothing against ABBA. They had a hot blond chick and catchy tunes. Just not music for me.
Up tempo positive songs with the occasional introspective plus great singing harmonies and not bad on the eyes- what is not to like? And they avoided controversial subjects.
Why do the French revere Jerry Lewis?
Ummm. Because they write and perform songs that a lot of people like?
Only a college trained pinhead could ask a question like that. The hiring of college trained music "experts" has only ruined the industry.
Is “ABBA” singular or plural?
ABBA is not quite my style but they ARE a good band with a lot of outreach to fans, so it is really no wonder they are popular.
Also, a lot of the popular bands of years past have retired or gone pretty much into slow gear, while Abba continues to do concert tours. Fans appreciate this.
Listen to an Abba concert sometime and you might like it, too.
A couple of years ago an ABBA impersonator group sang at a casino in Oregon. They were perfect, sounded just like them.
I should contact the casino to see if they are still around.
I like heavy metal and classic rock. It’s just not my type of music.
Ask Fernando.
I like Heavy Metal and Power Rock, but I am also a Karen Carpenter and ABBA fan. I love classical and classic country like Chet Atkins. I don’t let other’s musical biases affect the music I listen to, and I am a serious music lover. The best of any genre is always worth listening to. Abba somehow hit all the right notes for me!
Beats the crap out of me. It’s like a parody of real R&R.
blech. No thanks!!
I saw them when they finally did a North American tour in 1979. The tix were a gift from a customer of mine. Show was fine but once the 80s rolled around and they broke up and that was all she wrote until recently. They apparently have recorded 5 new songs but their release keeps getting delayed. Latest is next year maybe.
Easy. They write and sing melodic songs that are memorable.
What’s not to like, hot Swedish chicks that sing in that wonderful accented English. I have one of their songs on my phone, Comes up first in my playlist.
Detroit rock and roll fan here - greatly enjoy ABBA’s fun music - and totally enjoyed the Stage show Mamma Mia!, seen it twice.
I think I’m suppose to end this reply with: “Fight Me.”
