Gimme, Gimme, Gimme (A Man After Midnight) played at some sushi place when my sister and I were out to lunch, and she thought it was Madonna. BOO!

Ah who am I kidding, Hung Up is an awesome song too.

I really like Hung Up by Madonna.

Abba Gold is one of the great arguments for the idea of 'Best Of' albums (as with The Best of Blondie and The Buzzcocks' Singles Going Steady) and has become a classic album in its own right.

Any group capable of writing songs such as SOS, Dancing Queen, The Winner Takes it All and The Name of the Game shouldn't be sniffed at. Surely.

Because I think your post was dumb. Comparing any band(even Tokio Hotel) to the nazi's is overdone/exagerated and dumb. Even if it's a joke. I don't think it's funny. You may have another opinion on that, but that's my opinion. And let us now quit this bullshit about me neg repping you, and talk about the band.

ha ha ha, yeah sure, whatever dude.

ABBA is horrible. Listen to the Sounds if you want mindless Swedish pop.

Rob Instigator · 04.23.2008, 11:12 AM

I grew up with my mom playing ABBA's greatest hits in Espanol every saturday. I know all the songs with spanish words. they sang in so many languages. their music translated to any culture it seems. a good pop hook will suck anyone in

they are not what I prefer but I give them much respect for what they did.

i see no difference betwene them and a group like the mamas and the papas who wrote catchy hook filled pop music.

the mamas and the papas get a lot of respect but the abba does not. wonder why?

and just look at those cute legs vs. the stork-like stilts of the brunette

of course, the music was annoying. i had this uncle who played this record all the time when he was visiting us. i wanted to kill him, but my tiny hands didn't allow me such feats.

Their albums are poo. Their heaviest riff was, in fact, off 'hey, hey Helen'. A lot of their album tracks sound like a late-70s heavy metal band with the girls from Abba singing on it.

Abba Gold is the only album that is definitely in my list of records that everyone should own.

To Demonrail666's list of good compilations - Carry on up the Charts.

I find it very difficult to trust anyone who doesn't like Abba.

I have no strong feelings regarding the attractiveness of the members, but I will say it irritates the fuck out of me that, in 2008, any band with a pretty (female) member can't be discussed without referring to the sexual attractiveness of said member(s). If Abba were ugly, they'd still be awesome.
