Well, what can I say? I was brought up in Sweden in the seventies so obviously I couldn't avoid Abba! There was of course a time when, even in Sweden, it was pretty uncool to even suggest you liked their music, but lets be honest, Abba are one of those bands that you are pretty much born knowing the lyrics and tunes!
The choir at the school I went to (International school stockholm)sang on Abba's "I have a dream" but unfortunately I missed that by a year, having already left the school.
Anyway, I now make a living running and playing in Abba Inferno, one of the UK's very best Abba Tribute bands and I have to stay, I still LOve the songs (well most of them, "My White Sombrero" is a bag of rubbish but fortunately doesn't feature on the greatest hits albums!). If you want the best of Abba then just get Abba Gold and More Abba Gold. You can't go wrong..
And hey, if you fancy it check my band out at www.abbainferno.co.uk
