sidcow Posted June 11, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 11, 2019 I liked ABBA and still do although I had to pretend I didn't for a few years in the late 70's early 80's because the were not something a young buck should admit to liking and my older brother used to tell people to embarrass me. I was glad when it became cool to like them again as I could come out of the closet and stop living a lie. Super Trouper was the first vinyl record I owned.

Xann Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Bjorn and Agnetha were a couple when Abba started. The relationship started to decay and the band's lyrics got darker. Bjorn was wrinting about he and Agnetha. She must have dreaded what was going to be on the next lyric sheet. He's interviewed on this, you can tell it gave him some satisfaction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed but I actually prefer the Blancmange version, probably because I heard it first, was years before I even realised it was an ABBA cover version. Theirs just sounds a bit more jaggedy and edgy which I think suits the song. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 I stress upon what I said 3 years ago. ABBA were excellent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even now when measured against some of bands all the bands that have been around since them. Your probably right, I must admit though that I'd rather shit in my hands and clap than listen to one of their songs. Personally I think they were atrocious! I can't stand ABBA either btw Edited June 11, 2019 by KHV 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 They’re not even my favourite Swedish pop act. Ace of Base were far better. And Ace of Base were crap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 It's like lord of he flies in here. I don't care how rare the ABBA tracks are that I've been listening to, it's ABBA none of them are going to be actually rare, and I didn't say that the one I posted was one of their 'lesser well known tracks'. Plus ABBA's music is better than a good 96% of the music posted on this forum, and I don't especially like them that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 you need to go yourself on to lay all your love on me @useless that's where its at, followed by chiquitita being younger its hard to know what was a popular abba track and what's not, if its on gold does that mean it was big? or if it made the mega mix / mama mia soundtrack / steps cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
