Amazon.com essential recording
Anyone looking for the key to Abba's enduring appeal should look no further than "Voulez Vous" and "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" for their answer. There was an innocence to the Swedish quartet, even when they were singing about one-night stands and the invitations to them. Gold establishes that the band, while appreciated as campy, were actually multifaceted in their execution. "S.O.S." has a raw urgency in its chorus, and "Does Your Mother Know" draws its energy from classic '50s rock & roll. Likewise, you don't have to be Priscilla to swoon over "Mamma Mia" or "Dancing Queen." And when it comes to drama, those soaring vocals on "The Winner Takes It All" turn the song into a bitter anthem of every relationship that has ever fallen apart. The much-covered "Lay All Your Love on Me" is practically epic. --Steve Gdula

Customer Reviews

Still a dancing queen who is tone deaf
My sisters and I loved ABBA from the day we heard their first song. Funny, our Parents did also. It is happy music and it makes me want to get up and dance (great exercise) and sing (yes, I am tone deaf but who cares!) I bought the ABBA Gold when it came out and I am still playing it, never tiring of the music. Listen to the music and you might feel the same way. Get up and dance like the dancing queen or king that you are and feel good to music that is not busy making a statement. Good fun - that is what we all need and how long has it been since you have had plain old good fun? Enjoy!

I still love Abba
ABBA - Gold: Greatest Hits
I play this CD loud in my car with the windows both up when in traffic and down when on the open road. I love Abba as much as I like my own books. Look me up. This one is about when I went to China.

I'm a kid again!!!!!!!!!
I can smell the grass, and long to bounce the ball again; ABBA makes me want to go outside and PLAY!!!

Just wonderful, joyful music. Thanks to whoever for bringing those wonderful memories back.
