Hi Kate
Yes i like ABBA. I remember years ago having a disscussion in a pub with guys who were into heavy metal and such like . We were talking about quality song writing and how genius makes it look so simple . I ventured the opinion that ABBA were perhaps one of the best examples of this . Simple memorable pop music ,but when you look at it closer ABBA music is very complex. By the end of the night we came to a consensus that ABBA were genius. If you imagine a scene like a cross between Waynes World and Spinal Tap ,then that was it . About ten of us singing ABBA songs, hair and such like flying about . When i think about it now ,that was one of those excellent nights ,when good discussion and drink led to a wonderful night . A memory that puts a smile on my face now. Like all such nights you had to be there.
My fave ABBA song is Eagle . About as close as ABBA came to melodic/prog rock .
