I've heard Abba so much over the years but NEVER intentionally. But I guess if I lost my virginity while Abba music was playing, they'd probably hold a special place in my memory too.<br /><br />YourZYourZenMinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08573065866540263511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064723535689191525.post-23912120066715999662010-04-11T09:11:21.975+10:002010-04-11T09:11:21.975+10:00I have mixed feelings about Abba.

Fast forward 10 or so years and I'm incredibly drunk and losing my virginity to a girl in a Zeppelin T-shirt as an Abba album plays in her flat. I can't remember intentionally listening to Abba since I hit my teens.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17045826661786741441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064723535689191525.post-58371227925974320322010-04-09T17:00:20.056+10:002010-04-09T17:00:20.056+10:00Drew, I'm glad someone does (I'm sure we&#...Drew, I'm glad someone does (I'm sure we're not alone either). I think my sister's song choice of annoyance was 'Waterloo' although it might have been 'Dancing Queen' (damn my dodgy memory). Either way, it was enough to drive any young man wild and not in a good way either.<br /><br />YourZYourZenMinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08573065866540263511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064723535689191525.post-68855234993652796342010-04-09T13:21:55.129+10:002010-04-09T13:21:55.129+10:00Yourz, I feel your pain.

I often wonder how they'd be going if they continued now. Did you hear, the boys actually said they might consider re-forming for a one-off concert to be live-streamed?<br /><br />PS I was actually in the Anni-Frid camp (what can I say, I'm a brunette)<br /><br />PS2 I forgot to tell YourZ - Strudel is Austro/German. Gravlax is Swedish, and you've had a ton of that!Minehttp://yourzenmine.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064723535689191525.post-40397932925876574932010-04-09T02:47:40.257+10:002010-04-09T02:47:40.257+10:00This album just goes to show how perverse I am.

Or most of the mid-period stuff.<br /><br />The stuff I really like is on side 4 (I'm on vinyl here) - the late stuff that no-one else likes. I think 'Day before you came' and 'Under attack' are brilliant. Trust them to call it a day just as they were producing some really good (and thus unpopular) material.<br /><br />PS Don't watch the Mama Mia movie - it is toe-curlingly awful. No really, it's so bad I mourn for Streep & Walters. What were they thinking?<br /><br />PS2 Just for the record, I'd be in the Agnetha camp too but I fear I couldn't stand the wait in the queue...music obsessivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16191742084494035205noreply@blogger.com
