    Abba Gold is a gem of a CD.  I wish I wouldn't have been so
    close-minded when I was a kid - this band roolz!
1113.5Excellent best ofTPLAB::VLASIUSorin Vlasiu - Brussels, BelgiumWed Dec 06 1995 04:135
They were great and the Gold CD's (the black and the white) are among my
favourites. Their albums were fine in general.
Apparently "Chess", an album released by Bjorn and Benny is also very good.

1113.21EDWIN::HOOKERWed Dec 06 1995 12:1012
    are they one of those bands that was popular at the same time
    as leisure suits and big gold necklaces ?  like who was it...oh 
    like the Bee Gees ?  Thank god I missed the whole disco era...
    although I did suffer for many years living at home in Virginia
    and being subjected to my dad's love for country music.  And back
    then they didn't have this new country rock stuff.  Everything was
    played with a steel guitar and slides and was about some guys wife
    leaving him and his dog dying and stuff....well I guess country hasn't
    diverted too much from that....but I digress...tell me more of this

    Shane,
    
    Go rent the movie "Muriel's Wedding".  In it you will hear more ABBA
    music on the soundtrack that you though humanly possible.  Also, you
    will see the influence of listening to TOO much ABBA music on a young 
    woman!  :^)

1113.26POLAR::RENAUDPLOOK ALIVE! Buzzards R Circling!Wed Dec 06 1995 13:4718
    Next you'll all be saying that Saturday Night Fever was a GREAT
    movie.....and that John Travolta's singing in Grease was
    terrific......and that bellbottoms are COOL!
    
    The recent snow must have frozen some brains down there!!  Tell you
    what.....lock yourself in a room and listen to ABBA for a few hours! 
    Maybe that will wake you all up again.
    
    And as for you Davey, you Fernando lovin', bleached demin jacket
    wearing fool............all your Slayer and Anthrax CD's are throwing
    themselves off the rack right now!  You TURNCOAT!!
    
    And I'm not in denial........I actually prefered Cheap Trick's Dream
    Police in the 70's.  Now I will admit that I got caught up in some
    rather embarassing trends in the early 80's, but ABBA was never a part
    of my life!

    Another movie with a soundtrack heavy on the ABBA is The Adventures of
    Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
    
    
    FYI for those kids of the 90s --
    
    An *excellent* ABBA cover band, which still tours worldwide, is called
    "Bjorn Again".  Check em out if they come to your area -- they're HOT!

1113.30WHAT?!?! Bell bottoms are out?!?!?POLAR::LYLEThe Earth is Banana-shapedWed Dec 06 1995 14:589
    re:.26
    Paully, learn to like the 70's era of music. ABBA was a very popular
    band in that time. They had quite a few hits, I personally like
    Fernado. Nothing wrong with that. I remember skating to that tune in
    Manitoba when I was a wee lad. They played music on a P.A. system and
    ABBA was played a lot since it was VERY popular music.

1113.31a true story from the annals of ABBAPOWDML::BUCKLEYReason for the SeasonWed Dec 06 1995 15:0430
    I have a funny ABBA story I'd like to share with y'all.  Although this
    sounds like something right out of the Ramones' movie "Rock n Roll High
    School" (with PJ Harvey), this is a TRUE story.
    
    Now, while ABBA enjoyed sparse moments of stardom here in the U.S.,
    they were absolutely HUGE over in the U.K. and in Australia.  One has
    to realize that at the time, they were like the Pearl Jam or Led
    Zeppelin of their days -- concert tickets were NOT to be had, period!
    
    I have this friend of mine who lives in Sydney, Australia, who is 
    completely MAD about ABBA!  We're talking WAY over-the-top here!!
    When ABBA toured Australia on their farewell tour, he took a weeks
    vacation from work to "camp out" for tickets at the stadium box office!
    Needless to say, his preserverance paid off, landing him with front row
    center seats for the show!
    
    The evening of the show arrives, and the atmosphere in the concert hall
    has escalated to dizzying proportions!  The lights go out and the crowd
    goes berzerk!  The lights go up, the stage curtain opens, and my friend
    finds that Her Royal Majesty, Agnetha, is standing DIRECTLY in front of
    him!  Now, out of the two women in the band, he was insanely in lust
    with Agnetha.  Dumbfounded by the sight of her only feet away, he
    begins to hyperventalate, goes into convulsions, passes out and hits
    his head on the metal rimmed chairs on the stadium floor.  Bleeding and
    unconscious, he is wisked out of the concert hall by security and
    rushed to Sydney Hospital.
    
    He never heard one single note played by the band!

    I wouldn't want Judy to take away all your fun of buying me the ABBA
    cd for Christmas so instead you can get me Fair Warning by Van
    Halen to complete my collection.  Thanks.
    
    Shane, who knows you all agree that Van Halen is really the best band
    ever ;)

    Shane,
    
    I have gone all of my life without plunking down the green for a Van
    Headache CD, and I do not wish to break this tradition, even if it 
    means a gift for you!  ;')

1113.38EDWIN::HOOKERWed Dec 06 1995 17:039
    Re: Buck
    
      Yeh DT is awesome.  Their drummer is very creative and does some
    very cool double bass stuff.  I have heard an older album, the one
    with Pull Me Under on it, before but I don't have any DT cds myself.
    So yes a DT cd would make a lovely gift too.  Thanks. ;)
    
    Shane, who wonders who actually thinks that the 'garden weasel' makes
    the perfect gift.

    I must admit the Duran comments were a bit off, as that was the drivel
    I was caught up in during the early eighties......before Vince and the
    boys dragged me to the dark side with "Shout at The Devil".
    
    Band together "SHOVE EM" people and we can defeat these acoustically
    challenged people!!

    They're not acoustically challenged, just plurally challenged.   We
    could easily defeat them if we just admitted to being schitzophrenic.

    no I feel that it is my duty to give them a chance.  This is a great
    responsibility which has been placed upon me and I must act without
    prejudice.  I will however state for the record that the only music
    I consider to be great that came from the 70's was VanHalen, Jimi
    Hendrix (well from the late 60's...but 69 is just too cool a year
    to ignore), Eagles, Aerosmith, and probably a few others that 
    I forgot to mention here.  The Partridge Family I am convinced was
    inbred and hence produced crappy inbred music.  I will attest to the
    fact that I got into the Brady Bunch music but only if was on tv
    so I could see Marsha bending over in her tight little polyester
    outfit...hey whatya expect I was a 7 yo boy.  ;)

    tune; whether it be on Compact Disc, Vinyl, Tape or even 8-Track. Find
    a huge open field and practice some SKEET SHOOTING!!! This band does
    nothing but remind me of bell bottom pants, loud plaid shirts with

    anything else that could turn your stomach from the '70s.

    	Hosted by that guy who starred on the Partridge Family,
    	David Cassidy.
    
    	Last month they featured ABBA, a reader's digest version
    	of the band's history. Quite fascinating.

    the mental picture I get from that one is scary.
    You'd have some trouble throwing a woman out of a home she considers
    "hers",   even if you are moving.
    
    Case in point: My wife can't carry in groceries by herself or open a
    jar of baby food, but mess with her house, and you've got a fight you
    wish you hadn't started!
    
    BTW: the picture was one of *your* ear hitting the concrete.... :-)

G'day

 Could be, I'm not used to these exotic names, in OZ all the girls are called 
either Kylie, Sharon or Tracy.... they are the only names I learned to spell 
properly ;-)

    I'd still take ABBA over many "respectable" bands that seemed to endear
    themselves to the heart of Rock Nation:
    
       Foreigner
       Loverboy
       Journey
       Asia
    
    Now those bands were about as insincere as you get.  You guys just
    gotta get out from under your pretense about what rock and roll should
    be and have some fun.
    
    After all, KISS = ABBA, just with different tunes.

    You mean they changed one of the best lines in the film to cater for
    the uneducated American film goers?  Let's hope they didn't touch the
    film title!

The agony of it all.  I rented Muriel's Wedding forgetting completely (until it
started) that it was an Abba-fest.   Eyaaah!  Then I found myselft liking the
movie and even tolerating the music...
