Winner Takes It All is a great song...I also really like SOS and Knowing Me, Knowing You and One Of Us.

Fernando is super for a singalong after an ale or two.

Abba is impoosible not to like. Well for me anyways. One of the catchiest bands ever.

Never heard anything but their obvious hit...but i'll atleast admit to digging that guilty pleasure style.

Not a big ABBA fan but they've had some good stuff. Plus, the musical is pretty cool.

While I haven't heard every song, I have to admit, there are some pretty good songs, Fernando being among a favorite on my ipod

I think it's actually impossible to hate abba. Even one person in the world having a strong distaste towards them seems unlikely.

guess I'm the first one to state my dislike for these guys. I have a severe traume regarding this band, and I plain and simply cannot stand them. So there, one person does not like ABBA.

I must say this though: I respect their place in history and I truly dispise Madonna for using an ABBA sample on her last crappy record.

There was a haggard old crust punk in my city last summer. Everytime I saw him, he would be busking ABBA songs on the side of the road.

I have my suspicions that the guy made a fucking killing.

You've been sorely missed man. Welcome back!!!

I heard the busker dude playing Abba too....it was pretty badass. Twas I who pointed out how out of tune he was...but yeah, he's blind and it was only a coupla notes so allowances must be made.

they were musical genuis's though but I understand why people would dislike them. Even songs of theres i dislike such as dancing queen are so brilliantly put together and multi layered works of fantastic production, I find it hard to explain why I hate them, odly enough they made very little money due to wierd tax laws.

Hahahaha, and here I was thinking that my neighborhood punky fellow was a unique and beautiful snowflake!

Thanks, BCV! I remembered the boards a few days ago and I've been posting with a vengeance.

Remember when that King or president of that country offered them a billion dollars to do a reunion show and they turned it down? What was that, 10 years ago?
