Tonight ... all will be revealed. From their "genesis" in 1974 ... thru' to the 1980s and beyond, the Swedish group released 25 'Singles' - no fewer than nine of which reached the top of the UK's hit parade! Following a poll, the most popular of those - and possibly more - will be heard in a 90-minute Special at 8.30 on ITV.
about the rather short notice ... I've only just found out meself! So ... as they say in Perth: "See ya la'er" ...
Can't see it listed?
Thanks for the heads up Arthur.......I think I will sit and watch my finger nails grow instead
it's not on my ITV lol
oh well i will watch city go top of premier league (not)
Gotta be 'Dancing Queen'
"One of us"My fav but yes has to be dancing queen as no1
My theme song 'Winner Takes It All'
i like the "The Winner Takes It All" too! and also "Take A Chance On Me", "Mamma Mia", "I Have A Dream", and "Thank You For The Music"..
dancing queen...my life story
i have learnt to do what my wife says!
... and the winner izzz ... well ... whadaya know ... none other than 'The Winner Takes It All' ... surprise, surprise!! And it IS a surprise [to me at any rate!] ... with 'Dancing Queen', a close second. Third, was 'The Day Before You Came' (one of their few rather boring recordings - and hence never really a favourite of mine!) Nor was 'Voulez Vous', I might add. But the others were good ... during the rare occasions the "snippets" they played could actually be HEARD in between - and, over the infuriating sound of - the constant babbling that [rudely] interrupted the programme throughout.Originally Posted by Arthur Little
... I'm in mortal danger of becoming known as 'Dedworth Mark II' - whose posts I don't mind admitting to (sometimes) having a sneaking admiration for!
What would I have chosen?Difficult to say! I liked 'Fernando' ... which I think sounds best sung in Spanish (even though I'm not familiar with the language) and 'I Have A Dream' is [usually] always beautifully sung, and was a particular favourite of my late first wife's.
Nahit's not on my ITV lol... according to Google's Television and Radio Guide - which, I've noticed before, tends to be based on transmissions in London and the South - ITV1 HD was screening a sentimental drama entitled 'Come Rain, Come Shine' featuring David Jason & Alison Steadman. I had actually earmarked this particular programme ... and was really looking forward to watching it! So ... naturally, I was more than a little disappointed when I discovered it wasn't being shown in Scotland. Hence my "last minute" mention of Abba. Same thing happened yesterday evening with another interesting-looking production called 'The Attonement', I'd wanted to see also. Grr!
Their music just makes me feel old.
On the contrary, GrahamTheir music just makes me feel old.... it makes me forget my biological age

Aye, Steve ... you'd be a 16-year-old teenager at the time Abba won the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with 'Waterloo'!
Ah, remember it so well. Great song (at the time)......Abba won the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with 'Waterloo'!
Oh boy, did I have a crush on the blond (Agnetha Fältskog)
Especially in those tight blue trousers
why were you wearing tight blue trousers?Ah, remember it so well. Great song (at the time).

I liked "Paranoid".
All long hair, but no tight blue trousers on show though
It was them who did that, wasn't it?
Graham, you areTheir music just makes me feel old.
Sorry, I couldn't help myself
why were you wearing tight blue trousers?
Very crushing they were too.
Graham, you are
Sorry, I couldn't help myself
Ok, I'll post a pic from 1975 then, when funnily enough I was a Area Sales Manager for a major record label, and got all my music free of charge.
Even I was young once.
was it on ITV ?
i had not seen it , or i missed it ?
Two for me - as a musician I go for arrangement - 'Slipping through my fingers' and 'Andante Andante.'
Al.
Pressed rat and warthog closed down their shop!
"i have a dream " and the "the winner takes it all" for me
Not a fan of Abba to be honest. Favourite song?.......Probably 'Knowing Me, Knowing You' if I had to choose one.
Hard choice but "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" and "Fernando".
