You can actually see and FEEL the good times - of youth, freedom and fun - of the '70's. It is incredibly good. Particularly on "Dancing Queen" you will return to the days of your youth. Let us return now to the days of bell bottoms, Farrah, disco, etc. In the song, the girl was "young and sweet, only seventeen." She was having an absolute blast on the weekends. In the field of pop, no group was greater than ABBA. It was the decade in which the most great music was created; of ALL genres. And, ABBA - Gold: Greatest Hits is really a perfect compilation of all their most famous stuff.
He is now retiring and my wife asked me to buy the cd so she could give it to him as a kind of gag but serious retirement gift. My wife is a music teacher and did a lesson plan from the song take a chance. Her principal came in to observe her and he loved the teaching plan and told other teachers about it.
It got on my nerves after sometime. I didn't know ABBA, but then i heard Dancing Queen, and i rememberd. but to each thier own. Yeah ABBA was big, but it seems to me (personal taste) it isn't something you listen to over and over. I was rebuilding my CD Collection and decided, i should check this out, i know the name. Well, it was the Disco Era and i happen to like somethings of that era, though i found myself skipping tracks when i mp3'd it.
Seeing Mamma Mia inspired me to buy the gold hits. I have always loved ABBA and this cd had all the great favorites. Listening to them makes my toes start tapping and I feel young again.That was a great era.
Was never an ABBA fan in the 70's but have a new appreciation of it.
