    My husband and I had almost all ABBA music played at our wedding reception back in 1997. It was awesome, with a lot of dancing. :) (Edit to add): I remember the first time I heard this song. I was around 12, and was sitting in the backseat of our family's green Thunderbird, coming back from fishing with my dad and his best friend. We were just coming down the road to our house. As soon as I heard it, I was mesmerized and asked my dad to turn the volume up. Then I made dad and Major Root stay in the car until the song finished. I was hooked on ABBA at that point, and received my very first ABBA record from mom and dad that following Christmas. I am now 48 and still have that record sitting in the cabinet of our family room. :)

    I grew up on ABBA. Really like the genuine joy you seem to have listening to their music, it makes me re-appreciate the magic of their sound. Their music from around this period could be so joyful, really wonderful! They were really diverse though, depending on which period you listen from. Their last album ‘The Visitors’ was quite a departure (and a few non albums tracks after that) but absolutely stunning in a different way. The Day Before You Came is one of my favourites, pure melancholy but so fantastic! I encourage you to source everything they did, including the unreleased demos. Theirs hardly a blotch on their repertoire!

    One of the best selling and most talented bands ever. The song writing, harmonizing, production... I recommend their "darker" stuff, 'cause this is a band with a special history. Try out "Knowing me, knowing you" and "The winner takes it all". I really respect your choice of reactions. Thank you!

  • @MsLuvmusic81

  • @anthonysmith8800
    @anthonysmith8800 4 роки тому

    The Legends that are ABBA have left an indelible mark in music history. They were and still are giants of pop music. Often copied but never equalled.
    To think there are new songs from them to be released next year is simply amazing. From the few people who have heard them, they are as good as anything they've written before.

  • @tamarapadgett8300

    They got buried under the "Disco Sucks" backlash, but ABBA wasn't really "disco", it was just great pop music. Their musicality got lost in the era, and I say that as someone who hated disco -- and therefore ABBA -- but seeing them now - without the blinders of "contemporary issues" (which died around 1983) -, I can finally appreciate how amazingly talented they were. As writers(Benni)/lyricists(Björn) and performers (Agnetha [pronounced Anyetta - roughly] and Anni Frid [Frida]) - the B ,B, A, A of ABBA

  • @RonnieT44
    @RonnieT44 4 роки тому +1

    It is really special to see a young man like yourself appreciate music like ABBA. We took this for granted when they first emerged because there was an abundance of talent back in the seventies. As time goes by I realise that it was a privilege to hear this kind of music first hand. Great post!!

    You keep on doing what you're doing, and loving what you're loving, no matter what anyone says. And there's no shame in loving Abba, anyway. They were the masterclass in how to write perfect pop music back in the 'seventies and 'eighties. There's even ABBA the movie, if you ever get around to it.

    Thanks for having the appreciation for all these classic songs! Another good one to check out is "Next Time I Fall" by Peter Cetera and Amy Grant. It's a mid 80's ballad that made it to #1 for good reason! (And since we're on Abba here, Peter Cetera also did a duet with Agnetha Fältskog called "I Wasn't the One Who Said Goodbye")

    Do Gimme Gimme Gimme (A Man After Midnight) - Madonna sampled this for Hung Up (she's only the second artist to sample an ABBA song, the first were the Fugees); old songs makes more sense because you will get more people listening to songs they never heard that deserve attention

    There is so much to react to from ABBA. Their last album, The Visitors, was almost overlooked and is their most underrated album. The title track is a really brilliant political song and much darker than pretty much anything they released. Definitely worth a listen.

    In case anyone doesn't know just how big ABBA was...they sold 380 million records and earned 1.5 Billion dollars during their career and of course are still making millions from the royalties of their music being used in plays and movies as well as radio and TV "airplay". In the beginning nobody wanted them...until everybody wanted them! Check out their documentaries.

    If you haven't researched them yet .... You'll find they was #1 band for along time over many countries. But here in the US only 1 #1 song ( dancing Queen)
    Another interesting fact is the band was actually couples. They married and the girls had a off stage "feud" but once on stage they didn't show any thing but talant

  • @peterterry9594
    @peterterry9594 4 роки тому

    So many artists and so much music with so little time. The mid 70s was just very busy w/ lots of good music. Abba, Little River Band, Electric Light Orchestra, The Bee Gees are just a few of the great sounds. If you get a chance you might want to look for Wolfman Jack on youtube. You don't have to post it on a reaction video. The man was a very popular dj throughout the 70s and 80s. His view was the world is serious enough, so therefore his show and presentation of music was comical and entertaining.

  • @richardstubbs8520
    @richardstubbs8520 4 роки тому

    I like how you keep explaining on your channel that you're going to keep reacting to ABBA. I'm totally the same way with singers/groups that I stumble upon. ABBA has always been my favorite group. Each member has something that can't be replaced or duplicated. Benny and Bjorn went on to write the musical Chess with Tim Rice the year after ABBA stopped recording. They wrote a huge hit titled "I Know Him So Well" by Elaine Paige and Barbara Dickson.The song is great and the ABBA elements are still there but without Agnetha and Frida singing it it just isnt the same. I recommend you listen to "I Know Him So Well" to further experience the talents of Benny and Bjorn..only without the girls. Disclaimer: Elaine and Barbara are amazing singers so I hope I dont anger anyone reading this.

  • @sanniepstein4835

    Abba were able to come up with good, original melodies, not thew standard rock/pop material. They were not afraid to be silly, either, and put out a few duds here and there. The Piper, Soldiers, and, of course, The Winner Takes it All are worth a listen. I Do I Do I Do is like old German beer hall music.
    Most of the world loved Abba but Americans considered them uncool at the time.

    They were a world wide phenomenon. People of all ages, we're talkin' from real little kids to older folks would go to their shows. These two women's voices blended so well together and they could lay it down live. True talent. One of the biggest world wide bands of all time

    You are on the correct path brother. The classics are the way to go, modern music is generally poor.
    Also, there are sooo much amazing songs and artists still to discover. What you have already discovered is only the tip of the iceberg.

    In the 70's I was a long haired rocker kid, rock and heavy metal, ABBA was a chick band to be made fun of, fast forward 35 years later I explored ABBA and was shocked at how many songs I remembered and how great this band is, as we get older scenes and styles can be crossed without fear of getting your teeth knocked out LOL. Then I find out that a large proportion of my rock and metal gods are also big fans of ABBA. I am in a good plce now hehehe.

    ABBA is one of the great superstar groups of the 1970s and early 80s
