My favourite ABBA song is the one where someone smashes the stereo with a massive fucking hammer

Who invited captain predictable to my thread?

One for the You Tube comments thread:

"Abba is as addictive as heroin"

Did a big nerdy thing on ABBA for THE DEVIL ON 45 magazine some years back... it also resides here

... Visited the ABBA museum in Stockholm about 2 weeks after it opened... it's a condensed affair but the display of worldwide album releases is mighty impressive...

...and then there was this...

...wasn't particularly down with Björn Ulvaeus's vision for a cashless society that made this place impossible to access without a major credit card... it's alright for him, he has everyone's money...

...Not sure I could pick a favourite ABBA single though... there's a lot of good stuff on those records and a lot of it could have been successful single material...

I just remembered I was a member of the actual Abba fan club as a kid. Had a badge and everything

Ugh, based on my brain the past week I think my favourite might actually be Waterloo. How embarrassing

Check out how just close to being out of tune their harmonies are in the original Eurovision performance

Does anyone else have that Spanish Abba record?

I listen to it more than English Abba.

They loved their Spanish audience (which I think was their Mexican/Latin audience really) so much that they recorded an album in Spanish.
It's gorgeous.
I nicked it off the internet some Saturday many years ago and it's settled in as a weekend favourite.

Knowing Me Knowing You is just amazing. The classic ABBA multi tracked instrumentation. Beautiful drum sound. Great bass part (those triplets thrown in are fantastic) The harmonized counter-melodies running over eachother on the chorus. .....The heartbreak.

THIS VIDEO IS INCREDIBLE.

The balloons, the backing band, the awkward dancing, the acting out of the lyrics, Benny hammering away with a big grin on his face on the instrumental parts (dude, everyone else in the band is at least pretending to be sad for the sake of the song), the "i don't know what to do with my hands without a mic"... ah god it goes on...

Imagine Beyonce being this disorganized.

....camera positioned to desperately try and see up their skirts at their knickers

What is the theme here? with the balloons?

Counterpoint a sad song with party balloons?

New ABBA song is pretty good!

They've built an entire arena in the UK to put on their hologram show? Forever, I assume.
