JONEZY Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Totally pop band from the 70's that I forgot about for years. I probably put them in the 'disco era' and forgot about them. The other day I saw a 'Biography' on them and I'm hooked....again.I know most people think they suck or sucked, but whatever, it was the 70's!(you had to be there!)Question: Who was Frida? The blonde or the other one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swlabr Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 Would you call me the 'lowest of the low' if I say that Dancing Queen is an alright song? My Dad digs them, I can't help it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blonde or the other one?I don't know if most people think they suck (I sure as hell do, though), considering they're like the third or fourth biggest selling music act of all time.Oh, and Frida was the brunette.

Guest Ohdistortedsmile1789 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Anyone remember the A-Teens? They made it to the mainstream and MTV as an ABBA cover band, if that isn't a credit to the group I don't know what is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adnan Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 "Chiquitita, you and I knowHow the heartaches come and they go and the scars theyre leavingYoull be dancing once again and the pain will endYou will have no time for grievingChiquitita, you and I cryBut the sun is still in the sky and shining above youLet me hear you sing once more like you did beforeSing a new song, chiquititaTry once more like you did beforeSing a new song, chiquitita"That's one helluva song, so is 'Dancing Queen', 'Angel Eyes', 'Mamma Mia', and....Okay, I'll just shut up now.

The blonde or the other one?I totally agree with you. I just came back from the US and saw Mama Mia in Las Vegas and it was a great show! Very well but together, the songs matched the story in a brilliant way.It's hard to resist ABBA with their genius melodies, great lyrics and sexy jumpsuits... Frida is the dark one.Would you call me the 'lowest of the low' if I say that Dancing Queen is an alright song? My Dad digs them, I can't help it!Why should you care what other people think of your taste in music. Anyone who can't see what's great about ABBA songs is musically illiterate.

Dead Flower Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 Surely one of the best pop bands ever.But I really wouldn't be caught dead playing one of their tunes. Too many people already question my sexuality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zint Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 The day after John Lennon died,there was a world wide minute of silence acknowledged at the same time.Many radio stations around the world honoured it,the station I was listening to played an ABBA song right after it.Not being an Abba fan I didn't recognize the song...but it fit the moment and was actually quite powerful.The song was "The Winner Takes It All".The only time I was impressed with ABBA.(but yeah...there's no denying they were huge pop band) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
