I Am So Old

 
40 years ago today, ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest. I so remember watching that on German TV. I had no idea what the announcer was saying but a lot of the songs were in English so it was fun to watch. 'Waterloo' was the song that put this group on the map. I have many, many ABBA albums in my record collection.

Waterloo is STILL one of my most favourite songs! I have the ABBA Gold collection but that's it. Every song a winner!

I surprise folks with this, but I'm actually a HUGE fan of ABBA, especially in their production style, nice song structure, great hooks and a very clean polished, pop production. Can't stand Seattle grunge.

I don't own any CDs but the wife has a few.

Simply awesome music, and they had great shows.

Yup, they still hold up after all these years. I have many mixed tapes with 'Knowing Me Knowing You' on it.
