FORMED: 1971, Stockholm, Sweden DISBANDED: 1983 During the 1970s, fate - in combination with talent and hard work - would have it that one of the most dominating forces within the field of popular music was a group from Sweden.

I would stop all conversation, put down my drink and head for the floor as soon as I heard those first eerie sounds. The longer the re-mix, the better.

ABBA I have a dream too! | Reviewer: Adam ------ About artist/band Abba Thanks to You Tube,I have just discovered ABBA all over again . I was able to view their winning performance on the Eurovision contest from April 6,1974 and now know why they became and remain, such a successful and popular group Waterloo launched a career that was unmatched before or since. In such a short period of time, this exceptional group of artists touched the hearts of millions of fans world wide.Even though it has been almost 26 yrs since their last public performance, the songs and sounds they gave to the world continue to inspire and touch us deeply. Hope springs eternal that there will be more of Abba remember they only were taking a break. Momma Mia is due out in theaters soon must see for fans--- can't wait. For more info, visit abbaontv.com Frida & Benny thriller | Reviewer: Pedro ------ About the song The Visitors performed by Abba This is perhaps Frida's best interpretation, along with Should I Laugh or Cry and Like an Angel Passing Through My Room: unexpected, strange, makes you pay attention to the mysterious story (the police bangs at the door or is it about ETs?); Benny and his keyboards haunt the atmosphere 'til it cracks up as the title says... A surprise even to those used to the Abba sound. love u abba | Reviewer: ken ------ About artist/band Abba from the very moment i hear knowing me knowing you i felt chills ran through my body i can relate to that song in so many ways and i my greatest regret is not growing up in the golden era that was abba so i can hear their live performances my love goes out to all the great musicians who have made their mark in delivering the best and sweetest tunes that will ever grace my ears i will always cherish them thank you Long Play | Reviewer: Joe ------ About the song The Visitors performed by Abba I actually had this album on LP.

It's beautiful and it means something to me. Plus it won me ist place in my school talent show. True in my life | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Slipping Through My Fingers performed by Abba My daughter is 15 and I remember I just brought her home yesterday. She's in love with a wonderful guy. I know she is leaving me sooner than I think. I feel her slipping thru my fingers. I try to let go and it's so hard. I love her, I need in my life but I have to remember that it's her life now and will continue to be. Why do they grow up so fast. I miss her already and she hasn't even left. She doesn't even know how much I love her. She is my angel and always will be. I love you so much, I wish you didn't have to leave. wow | Reviewer: edel byrne ------ About the song Cassandra performed by Abba My god, I never knew the meaning behind this song untill a few minutes ago. For those of you that don't know its about a girl called Cassandra who lived during the Trojan War. She could see the future but because she declined Apollos advances, he put a curse on her gift so it would be rendered useless and nobody would believe her !!!! Now listen to that powerful song again, you can almost picture the entire scene ...FANTASTIC ABBA'S Chiquitita's almost unknown words | Reviewer: Javier ------ About the song Chiquitita performed by Abba I've been looking for the words beloging to the background chorus for they aren't that easy to hear... but after years and years of listening to this classic pop tune (now with an ear wide open), I finally got them. Here they are: "You and I, we know how all the heartaches come and go and you'll be dancing once again and all the pain you take will end" ...and then... "You and I, we cry; the sun is shining in the sky, so let me hear you sing a song the way you used to before" Please, anyone correct me if I'm mistaken. Thanks, Alex.- Eagle | Reviewer: joseph ------ About artist/band Abba I love all the songs of abba. always i am hearing the songs everyday.
