I haven't seen it, just clips, and it looked awful. Murdered the songs. I'll stick to Muriel's wedding and ABBA:The Movie(it's even got Lou Carpenter from Neighbours in it!). |

Never really a fan..... but then.....
Well okay I was at a rave last year (don't laugh I know I am in my 40's, in my defence it was the Masked Ball, so nobody knew!!)
It was about 4am and aside from thinking "fuck I am old" the crowd was flagging, then from nowhere the DJ puts on "Lay all your love on me" (or at least a remix).... best night of my 40's so far   |

Unparalleled musicians the likes of which we will never see again.
At the age of 4 I knew how to operate my parent's turntable and put on their LP's to listen to them. Good memories  |

I like them too but I wouldn't go that far.  "
Name another quartet since where the songwriting, singing, melodies and instrumentation blended so well together. They did all the work themselves. Supposed "artists" nowadays can't hold a candle to them talent wise. |

More ABBA Gold (the one with Angeleyes and Lovelight) has been my most-listened-to album on my Spotify every year for about seven years. I listen to it whenever I need a boost, getting ready to go out, it always perks me up! |

When I was at school, I was bullied because I loved Abba. So, I pretended to love Duran Duran instead and became one of the most popular girls in my school. I also had big tits for my age.
I used this newfound popularity to my advantage and 'dated' all the hot lads (which has nothing to do with this anecdote, I just wanted to gloat) and amidst this surge in popularity, I also wrote a musical which basically was, I guess, a fan fiction thing based on Lord of the Rings with the music of Abba.
One of my favourite memories is the whole school singing 'I believe in angels' as the protagonist of my musical lay dying after being stabbed by a gulnaz.
I was also a bit weird when I was younger but I did get an A in O'Level Drama.

Well how about The Beatles for a start, or Queen, The Who and lots more. If you raise the numbers a little you get The Eagles, Pink Floyd...I could go on, but
do you get the point now?
ABBA were a great band with fab songs and I remember them first hand, but they were not the best and most talented musicians ever. That's just hyperbole. |

I lived on Skopelos for 10 years, the location for the first film.
Most of the locals had their photo with the cast and abba was blasting out all over the island |
