Whatever disappointment I experienced at not having free rein in my Abba-voting was totally overshadowed by my joy at discovering Kirby's site! Thanks, Kirby! Ah'll be bock!

That is hands-down, 100% my favorite ABBA song, probably one of my favorite songs period. But not as well known as others, so I understand. Lots of good choices, but I ended up going for Thank You for the Music. That's a good spirit-lifter. (Which I need after discovering that "Does Your Mother Know" wasn't in the poll. )

Originally Posted By mawnck >>If you like ABBA, you'll probably love it<< I like ABBA very much, and found that movie excruciating. Since all the concert footage turned up again in various documentaries, there's no need to endure the tortuously illogical and unfunny rest of the movie, which ABBA themselves had almost no participation in anyway.
Originally Posted By Dabob2 Yeah, that whole reporter thing was just painful. But funny to watch in a "so bad it's good"/Spice World sort of way. I just thought a real ABBA fan would like all the concert footage. Who knew it was available elsewhere? Certainly not me.
