Just watching Satellite and never really counted myself as an Abba fan but after a few days of prolonged exposure I reckon they are superb, brings back cloudy memories of the seventies (I was very young), can remember all the songs but not sure where from.

And to end the debate, Blonde or Brunette, I reckon both would be satisfactory (at the same time), and I am talking about the women, back then not now !

what would scooby do

yay - I do like Fernando and a couple of the others..

deffo the blonde by the way..

Undoubtedly some of the most under-rated songwriters this world has ever produced - Bjorn & Benny.

I'm a big fan, but never knew that the girls had virtually F- All to do with the songwriting. They were almost classed as instruments

Also amazing how many songs they actually wrote

Blonde - her name is Agnetha Fältskog by the way.

Saw a TV program on them several years ago and apparently she'd gone into near total seclusion because she was tired of all the attention. Kinda sad really.

They certainly turned out some memorable songs.

Top group I say. The ABBA Gold cd is a good one too.

Agnetha Fältskog has just come out of hiding and released her first solo single, soon to in the charts, make way plastic pop for some real quality at last

oh and I am a real abba fan too

ScoobyDoo555

Shame the track's a cover of an old Cilla Black number

Still, ABBA with Bjorn & Benny, is like a Scooby without a turbo

(just downloading Agnetha's version now)

...interesting true fact No.848

Agnetha had a stalker at one point, and actually ended up marrying him!!!! Divorced now, but I guess a result for the stalker!!! Are there any other cases of stalking actually working?!?!

It is quite interesting how she is perceived as sad or "wierd" because she is almost a recluse. It is seclusion from the media, probably not her dearest & nearest. However, since she hid from the media, the media try to portray her as some wierdo.

Have to say, if you had spent 10 years or whatever in the VERY public limelight, and had made a fortune, etc etc.....do you not think it is quite feasible you'd get sick of being famous, and just want to retire to somewhere quiet and live a simpler life away from the spotlight?

Doesn't seem that odd when you analyse it. If I had the money, I'd probably live somewhere a lot quieter too.....and I'm not even famous

GaryK

some truly great songs that easily stand the test of time (unlike the current dross in the charts - usher with yeah will that be around in 30 years???), I always remember agnetha as being gorgeous and funny seeing the video her in tight outfits I dont remember her *** being *that* wide still nice though
