I secretly played music from my phone her last 30 days cuz I finally had to put her under 24 hr care. She previously went to daycare while I worked.

    It's hard to imagine the global phenomenon that was ABBA. They appealed to people in every nation. I remember watching the Eurovision song contest in 1974 and as soon as I heard Waterloo by them, I knew it would win. Completely different to the norm for that contest. From then on, it was etched into history.

    ABBA consists of 2 married couples. I can no longer say who was married to whom, but they were married until the early 80's. ABBA was invited to a German show in the 1970s. They had to cancel after receiving ransom notes threatening their children to be kidnapped. So they made a live broadcast, which was something very special back then. ABBA is as well known in Europe as Michael Jackson is. Just so you have a relationship. And even in Japan ABBA is a big name. I recommend ABBA's songs "The day before you came", "San Fernando" and "Thank you for the music". Warning: you may need a handkerchief.

    I think you have mostly reacted to songs where Agnetha sings lead. To get more of the many sides of the group, a song with Frida singing lead would be good. I suggest "Fernando" or "Knowing Me, Knowing You". Both ladies have amazing voices but as you have commented, it is when they sing together - that's the best. Fans call it the "third voice" because you're right, they do sound like one person. After you hear a Frida lead song, then move on to one of the songs which is all "third voice". That should be "Dancing Queen".

Abba never allowed their music to be sampled, that is until Madonna approached them with a demo, they listened, approved and so Hung Up was recorded by Madonna. She included the intro/hook you liked so much, and did it great justice. It's very well worth looking into 💜

    Does Your Mother Know followed by Hole In Your Soul at Wembley in 1979. Probably their best performance ever. Agnetha hitting that high note...absolutely incredible.

    I would recommend Waterloo as your next Abba reaction. The blonde is Agnetha; Anni-Frid is the brunette. Bjorn Ulvaeus is the guitarist. BTW, Bjorn translates to "bear" in English.

He knew Madonna song Hung Up...... was shocked to find out she sampled this ABBA song! I love ABBA!!!! And this is one of my favorite song of theirs! The vocals are always amazing, but the music is phenomenal!!!! That bass line, the exchanges the whole thing!

    This was from Abba’s disco album. It features the only track they ever recorded outside of Sweden - in USA, with American session musicians. (Ultimately they weren’t happy with the result and returned home for the rest).
    The fluty synth hook was sampled by Madonna for her ”Hung Up” - the only time they ever gave the green light for a sample.
    In terms of sales, Abba are up there with your Beatles and Elvis Presleys. In terms of impact and influence on pop music they are also up there. They were ridiculed by the critics at the time, but these days they are given their due. In the US too, although they only had one number one there, (Dancing Queen). Rock'n'roll Hall of Famers.
    Required listening: Dancing Queen, The Winner Takes It All, Summer Night City, When All Is Said And Done, Take A Chance On Me, Does Your Mother Know, SOS, Mamma Mia, Slipping Through My Fingers, The Visitors, Head Over Heels, Waterloo, One Of Us, Super Trouper. For starters.

      The Beatles comparisons is overblown. Truth is Ringo Starr, as a solo artist, had twice the number of top 10 hits as Abba. Abba had 4, Ringo had 8. Paul had 22, btw.

      @@sloebone7399Yes indeed In the USA Abba had 4 top 10 from 1974-1981/82 and quite enough top 20/40 hit singles.Songs that people still remember sing and dance even there.In there the music press had a quite hostile face against those Swedish outsiders. But rest of the world had countless No1's top 5 and top 10's.Their record sales raised eyebrows cause were "phenomenal" as lots of non predjudiced critics were also reporting at the time.And all this achievement without being such a household name in the States,cause of less touring and different culture.So that was ok by them and for all of us living in the rest of the world that were buiyng their records in huge amounts ,and turned them out to be massive and for a very long time,until their unofficial break up.
