In the news a bit with the Mama Mia film coming out. Now as a 36 year old man whose favourite bands are the Beatles, Oasis and Stone Roses, I wouldn’t say I’m their usual target audience, yet I have to say some of their music is uttery brilliant.
The Winner Takes It All, One of Us, The Day Before You Came, Summer Night City, Knowing Me Knowing You, Gimme Gimme Gimme are absolutely superb IMO.
I know critical reaction has always been mixed but I have to admit to listening to them a fair bit in the last few days. Anyone else prepared to admit to this or just me?!
The riff for Pretty Vacant was inspired by hearing "S.O.S." by ABBA.

I'm always a bit surprised that the town doesn't make more of a big deal about ABBA winning Eurovision with 'Waterloo' at our very own Dome. Wonder how many tourists are even aware of it?

Noel Gallagher has said the same thing.
It's awesome.
I would.![]()
The songs are obviously very well crafted, but don't move me in the slightest I'm afraid.

Impossible to name an Abba fav, but this is a brilliant & haunting song, & check out the synth parts, electronica fans!
Benni or Bjorn?
