ABBA Collection
2001.07.30
I became ABBA fan when I saw gABBA The Movieh in 1977. I still listen to ABBAfs CD sometimes. ABBAfs sound was wonderfully clear even it was analog record. ABBAfs two female vocal was arranged very well. Those two female were also nice looking. In addition to that, ABBAfs Scandinavian unique melody was beautiful and sad, which is the main reason of attractiveness of ABBAfs music.
My best memory of ABBA is Japan Tour in 1980. ABBA sang lots of their songs, but now I know that too many concerts made Agnetha unhappy.
Both Agnethafs appearance and voice are my taste, and I like Agnetha best in the member of ABBA. Therefore, my favorite songs of ABBA are gDisillusionh, gHasta Mananah, gSOSh, gThe Winner Takes It Allh and gLay All Your Love On Meh, those lead vocal is Agnetha. Also, I purchased all of Agnethafs solo album sold after ABBAfs dissolution.
I have been waiting for a musician like ABBA for a long time, but I cannot find such a musician yet. When Ace of Base was debut, I though they may become post ABBA, but they did not succeed enough. It may be next to impossible that a musician has good appearance, good voice and many good songs like ABBA. Probably ABBA was a miracle in 100 years.

Some of the corrections were bought in Scandinavia. They pronounce ABBA as abba, not aba in Scandinavia. By the way, I want a DVD of gABBA The Movieh.
