Yes I completely agree with you that ABBA were great singers,and their voices harmonised with each other really well.Apart from that their musical arrangements for their songs were brilliant.Take A Chance On me,Knowing Me Knowing You are among my favourites

Oh yeah! I've been listening to many genres of music for years now and none of them sounded like ABBA. =) They really are one of a kind. =)

ABBA were mostly famous on the 70s mate. Anyway their music is immortal. Many many groups were born thanks to them and even the hardest metal bands have covered some of their songs, especially in Sweden, their country, where they are almost a religion lol.
My favourite song by them is their first big success, Dancing Queen, even though they have a handful of great classics.

Thanks for the info. I wasn't even born during the 70's so I thought they were popular in the 80's. Their songs really are immortal classics. =)

I am familiar with their songs but I can hardly remember their titles. Although I am not fond of their music but my parents used to listen to their music.
Abba, as far I remeber is composed of two men and two women. My dad has a collection of their greatest hits and they usually listen to it and other classical during weekends and family day.

Ahaha. I actually listened to ABBA a lot when I was a kid. I was like 7 when I was first exposed to ABBA's music. =) They have great music. Dancing Queen is one of their popular songs. =) Maybe you knew them by their music and not by how they look. =)

Abba was popular through the 70's & 80's The two couples harmonised ever so well too.. I love Take a Chance on Me and Knowing me Knowing You too! Brilliant songs, but then they was a good all round vocal group

Yeah! I got to listen to their songs when I was still very young. Then lately, I longed for their songs but I couldn't remember the name of their group. Some research later, and there! ABBA!
