strimmer_13 Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 They turned down a tour in the 90s for 1 billion dollors. Anyway In todays age, the youth will get bored of listening to granny's and grandads sing and they will fade away/out the charts quick enough. I'll give it 1 year of hype and -hopefully- no more.

peck Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Among the greatest singers, writers and performers of the 20th century and now going to be in the 21st century. Long live ABBA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably repeated forced over-exposure in your youth, mostly by teachers and other significant adults wistfully looking back on their youth. I can't stand most of the Beatles oeuvre for the same reason. Any artisitic merit - and Abba did have a remarkable knack to crank out ear-worms with very simple tunes - was crushed beneath hearing it on hard-rotation.

welsh1 Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Love a bit of ABBA, looking forward to a few new songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robden Posted September 3, 2021 Report Share Posted September 3, 2021 Abba produced good songs and good music, and good looking women as well. Unlike the "noise" of today. And I won't even start on the tat ridden females(?)...........what's that all about?!?? [tin hat on] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
