Thank you - I'm still a fan, more now than when I was younger. Abba was a great success in many places, especially Japan and Australia - not that much in Sweden at the time. I think they are fantastic in their own way. Benny Andersson still makes good music, of another kind now. My favourites are The Winner Takes It All and Voulez-vous.

Track 7 never loses a touch, as do many.
If you remember them, and grew up in their era, was it Blonde or Auburn as your fav singer? 😉

I really prefer them less big boned if the "Truth" be known. When I say Truth I don't mean it in a religious sense of course.

Originally posted by CLL53They were big artists then and as such open to all kinds of "accusations". When you're in the spotlight all manner of "interesting" situations can arise. Prince Harry, Kate, to name a couple of recent ones. Part of the job isn't it?

Originally posted by Great Big SteesI would make an exception for royal families and celebrities of that kind - they don't really need the attention and recognition from the media as artists do.

Originally posted by lolof... to pull the thread back on the original topic, when a teenager I really liked the idea of banging the Abba blonde... Too bad it was only an idea/dream, but for teenagers that is enough...
