I don't really like hearing other people sing ABBA's songs, I'm not to keen on those tribute bands either.
I was wondering if the 2 Mamma mia films would have been better if they had the songs in the movies instead of the people singing them, I did like the second Mamma Mia film though. Yes I prefer "Muriel's Wedding" it had more of a storyline that made people relate to it more and I liked how they did an Orchestral version of Dancing Queen as Muriel was looking in the Bridal store.

It would be nice to think ABBA would still be listened to with whatever equipment people will have a thousand years after we're gone. Classical music is still around so why not the music we grew up with.

For me it would be 1976 until 1981, Their 1977 tour costumes are one of my favourites and the cat costumes and the blue costumes from 1976.

Agnetha's hairstyle with her hair long at the back and fringe around to the side was a favourite of mine and started a trend. Nothing wrong with perms if I didn't have my hair permed it would be dead straight and greasy Yuck.

I seem to remember in the 80's The chocolate Toblerone used Honey Honey in their ad, also in the 70's Rock me was used in a deodrant ad.

Besides ABBA, I like gardening, doing Crosswords, cooking, reading, watching TV, I also go to the local community house where I play Rummy with a group of people and looking after my cat.

For me I think by the 80's the new generation of teenagers were going for the new groups like Duran Duran and Culture club, us ABBA fans were either working or doing other things, ABBA themselves wanted to do other things, It's funny but when I watch ABBA The Movie i keep thinking I wonder what the people that were screaming their name are doing now.

I remember those magazines they came out once a month and if they didn't come I used to get very upset about it. LOL. I still have them but haven't really looked at them for a long time, some of them got a bit Tatty with the pages coming out. I stopped buying them in later years.

Judy Stone who was a popular singer here in Australia in the 60's also had "Hasta Manana" as a single the only difference was she sang the second verse.

I couldn't say one was better then the other as the "ABBA" album was at the start of their career with all the songs that made us love ABBA so much. ARRIVAL was at the peak of their career, both hold good memories for me. Sadly my turntable on my stereo isn't working anymore so I have to see if I can get a new one with a Radio and CD player.

Not only Youtube but i like to watch my DVDs I love Bang a boomerang they were so happy on the clip, Mamma Mia and SOS as they were the first clips I saw of them, have to laugh when you can see people behind Agnetha while she is singing. The Name of the Game love that clip as well.

I'm not to keen on "Suzy hang around" I feel sorry for Suzy she probably wanted to have friends and they rejected her. She probably had issues later on.

Does anyone here like playing games on their computer or phone? games like Candy Crush saga, Farm heroes saga, or even Simon's Cat. Bejewelled Twist is another good game as well.

the only ones I don't listen too are "The Day Before you came" "Angel passing through my room" and "Should I laugh or Cry" I find them a bit Dreary. Sorry to those who do like those songs.

the last picture was funny, it reminded me of things I would never share with anyone. My Toothbrush, a Chocolate bar and my Ice Cream.

I don't really Like "The Day Before you came" to me it just drones on with no Melody, "Like an Angel passing through my room" and "Should I laugh or cry" aren't to my taste either, they're the ones that make me press the skip button on my stereo.

I like all the songs from "The Album" but if I was to choose what singles I would say.
Thank you for the music. The Name of the game. One man One Woman. Take A Chance on me.

Cute photo, I wonder if they posed for this as I can't imagine they would allow anyone to take a photo of them in bed.
