Synthwave... ABBA approved of synth for sure... they WERE the "wave" in the late 70s and early 80's along with many peers like Moroder and others. "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" was covered by Malmsteen and sampled in "Hung Up" by Madonna with song writing credits being given in part to Benny and Bjorn, (she wrote a letter to the boys to plead for the sample). "The Visitors" is a mysterious thumper when it gets going, and "Lay All Your Love on Me" which Erasure covered has almost a choral quality to the chorus that mesmerizes you. They also tried many styles, the prog-styled "Eagle"...incredible vocals, the complex and beautiful "The Name Of the Game", the dark and theatrical "I'm a Marionette" covered by Ghost, heavy disco "Summer Night City" covered by Therion (who made it sound like a funeral dirge!!), and there are tons of metals covers for ABBA's music. Benny and Bjorn's incredible writing and production were coupled with two incredible women who stylized precise vocals to fit each song because of their love for music! Agnetha and Frida could sing a hoagie sandwich menu and it would go gold! And that intonation... :D They did reggae, rock, folk, ballads, pop, dance, and gave each hit their own Swedish twist. Seriously, masters.
I read that the band's engineer said that he always delayed one (IDK which...) of the girls' voices for a fraction of a second so as to achieve a 'fuller' sound! I don't think you could easily find 2 voices that could blend together more perfectly than these two ladies!
@@dominiccrimmings6925 But she didn't go by Anni-Frid, she went by Frida. For the sake of the band name, Anni-Frid fit much better. ABBA is better than ABBF
Pete Townsend called 'SOS' the perfect pop song. And he was serious. He isn't one known for beating around the bush but says what he thinks. I agree, it is a perfect pop song.
John Lennon called this one of the most beautiful songs he had ever heard. And If you like their rocky stuff, check out "Hey hey Helen" and "Does your mother know"
Hole in your soul. Especially the live version. Best done with does your mother know first followed by hole in your soul as a collective live performance
This song came out in the mid 70’s when I was 20 yrs old. I used to take crap from my head banger friends for liking ABBA. But I held my ground all through the years. I was right to do so. Their music has proven to be timeless, and Benny and Bjorn are musical geniuses for writing it all and Agnetha and Frida are lovely harmonizing songbirds.
Trust me...most metal heads back in the day liked at least one ABBA song! Even if they didn't admit it, you would catch them tapping their toes or whispering the catchy lyrics!😅
You, too. That is me 1,000% although they are no longer guilty pleasures, given their individual brilliance. Vocally, Karen is truly God's angelic gift to all of us.
Abba have sold over 400 million albums and have a musical that has taken over 5 billion worldwide nd now voyage in London. They are one of the best bands ever.❤
When ABBA was inducted in the RRHOF, Benny Andersson made a speech saying that when he was growing up in Sweden in the 50s, there was no blues or R&B on Swedish radio. There was a small smattering of early rock & roll and a lot of European Schlager and Swedish folk music, both of which are strong influences in ABBA's music. Benny noted that a lot of Swedish folk music is quite melancholy, and so he regards it as kind of a Swedish equivalent to blues - he even referred to The Winner Takes It All, which is definitely one of ABBA's sadder songs, as "Swedish blues". You can hear a bit of that in SOS as well.
When Cory Taylor from Slipknot was asked about his guilty secrets with respect to music, he said “ I don’t have any, I listen to anything from Abba to Antharax, and everything else in between “
In an interview he named Take a chance on me as his Abba favest and even analyzed and praised their pop music creativity and their way of music lush production.
Björn Andersson on the piano never learned to read and write notes. Despite this he was able to come up with 20+ catchy melodies like this, a true melodic genius.
SOS is, I believe, the only hit single whose title is both an acronym and a palindrome, recorded by a band whose name is both an acronym and a palindrome. By the way: ABBA = Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny, Anni-Frid
@@hifijohn Thanks for the reply. You are correct, SOS is not an acronym, by definition, bc, unlike "ABBA", we do not pronounce it as a word, but instead pronounce each individual letter. I believe "abbreviation" is the umbrella term given to all shortenings of words or phrases. Under that abbreviation umbrella, words like "ABBA" are technically called "acronyms", but, words like "SOS" are technically called "initialisms". I learned something new today!
An amazing band that composed and integrated Classical music into Pop, combined with amazing arrangements, beautiful voices, harmonies and a great Pop sensibility. Hooks for days; one of the best Pop bands of all-time. ABBA is simply Pop pefection.
This one’s for my cuz Jay who passed recently. He was a big, hulking guy who loved everyone and was always there for you. He drove this big, black Lincoln Continental with an 8-track player in it. He’d blast ABBA every chance he got. He loved them. Here’s to you Jay! 🥰

John Lennon said SOS by ABBA was one of his his favourite songs. I know a lot of heavy metal musicians who love ABBA. They write hooks and melodies like no other, the Swedish melancholy in so much of their stuff singles them out from the pack, and the vocals by Agnetha and Frida are always utterly stellar. You should check out a TV performance of SOS and that will make you understand WHY they were such a powerful group of their time. The women are incredibly charismatic performers.
I love how Alex’s Funko Pop doll’s head was bobbing in time to the music 😂 You guys were rocking it! People made fun of people liking ABBA when these songs came out….but everyone listened to them, danced to them & can sing them word for word to this day! They were all very talented. Great reaction guys!
If anyone asked me for a band to emulate to become a success in the POP Music genre, ABBA would be the band I recommend. They were talented beyond "pop" music
I think you discovering and liking ABBA just shows your tastes have broadened. Genres can be limiting, but enjoying great music, whatever the genre just demonstrates a willingness to be surprised and discover awesome songs. So glad you enjoyed this, SOS is a banger. I'd suggest Waterloo, Voulez-vous, or for something more introspective but brilliant, The Winner Takes It All. And as others have said ABBA is the initials of the four members of the band.
ABBA is great. The song-craft, singing, production is all top-notch. They have more hooks in their catalog than just about any other group or writer. Pure enjoyable pop!
There is rock, soft rock, power rock balads, and so on. ABBA transcends genres, soft rock, power balads, euro folk music, but whatever the genre, their music is pure joy. It spawned a Broadway play, which I saw in person, and at least two films based solely on their song catalog. They are without a doubt, literally one of the most popular groups, world-wide, of all time. ABBA rules. So does Sweden.❤ As their song says, thank you for the music!
I was eleven years old when they won the Eurovision with Waterloo. My favorite band at the time was the glamrockers Sweet. But I became a big fan of Abba then and there.
So my visual when you played this is me at 11 ish years old singing with my hairbrush mic in front of my bedroom mirror, as i did with all the great songs of the 70's. And skating to them at USA skating rink! Great time for music, the 70's!! Im so happy you liked it❤❤
One of the great things about 70's music is that it was always optimistic. Even when it was a tragic song, there was always an upbeat idea, theme, message, or tempo. Now? It's so depressing (and awful) no wonder kids today are a mess.
Guys, ABBA is the acronym of their first names: Agnetha, Benny, Bjorn, Anni-frid. You can use any of the four combinations to make the word ABBA. What fun. Good times.
I think we're getting to the point in popular culture now where critical acclaim and hipster props for ABBA's music are so high that nobody needs to feel guilty about liking them anymore.
I’m a rock and roller from way back. Never even tried to discount ABBA. Guitar guy was an Ace Freely nut, so rock guy always had something to offer the song. Dancing Queen or Waterloo. According to tales told, they used to use five tracks on the girl’s vocals. Main one was left alone, the old school VSO knob was turned up or down slightly was used on the other 4, with 2 of those tracks slowed or sped up just a little more. I think they did the same on the piano for the phasey sound. Quite innovative.
Growing up with this stuff first time round, it was very easy to take ABBA for granted and familiarity breeds contempt.... especially in the era of punk, disco, prog and all the rest of the different genres that were swirling around in the 70s... its only later, decades later when you listen back to these classics and listen to them with an experienced critical ear, can you begin to understand how much effort and thought and craft went into these songs, particularly the vocal harmonies and the production values... World class.
To me, it often seemed as though ABBA -- at least here in the USA -- was kind of in that weird zone of "band that everyone secretly likes, but won't *admit* to liking because it's not 'cool' to like them for some reason." So they got no respect -- but they sure sold an awful lot of records for a band no one would admit that they listened to... 😛
You put together the ear candy of their amazing songs, plus the eye candy of those 2 beautiful ladies and you get ABBA. Timeless music that this 60-year-old will enjoy till he can't anymore. Always love to see the younger generation appreciate great music. FYI: "Mamma Mia" is still my all-time ABBA song...
Metallica covered "Dancing Queen" at their 2018 concert appearance in Stockholm, Sweden (ABBA's native country), & the crowd loved it. 'Nuff said! Thanks for your reaction.
My favorite part of any ABBA song is the part you are raving over. I don't know what it's called musically, but it almost feels like the music drops into a beat. I get a similar sensation with the Beatles' No Reply and a few other songs I can't think of right now
Love that you guys are lovin' ABBA! Have you checked out "Waterloo"? It's the the song that made them famous when it won the 1974 Eurovision song contest... real good banger! Cheers!
No need to feel guilty gents! This is one of the greatest pop songs ever written! John Lennon and Pete Townshend also said so! One of my favorite quotes…..”there are people who like ABBA, and there are people who can’t admit they like ABBA.”
Andy & Alex, expert rock witnesses
"This rocks, your honor."
“Bullied into ABBA” 😂😂😂👏🏻👏🏻
Or, "rocknesses".

NAME OF THE GAME.
NAME OF THE GAME
NAME OF THE GAME
Is Pop Rock Perfection!
They laughed at me in middle school when I said this song kicks ass and now A&A have me feeling VINDICATED!!!
Agnetha and Frida had some of the best blended voices in history. I was so in love with Agnetha, I could hardly sleep back in the day.
I read that the band's engineer said that he always delayed one (IDK which...) of the girls' voices for a fraction of a second so as to achieve a 'fuller' sound! I don't think you could easily find 2 voices that could blend together more perfectly than these two ladies!
Many a teenage boys wet dream
Except her name was Anni-Frid, else the ABBA moniker would work, it would be "FBBA" or "ABBF" depending on where you put the girls.
You and me both Abe.

I agree with him. To this day this one is in my top 5 of all ABBA songs. And meeting Benny was one of the best moments in my life.❤
John Lennon as well
ABBA: masters of the ear worm ... Their songs will be with you for all eternity.
There’s no way to hate on ABBA. They are just too good.
ABBA had the formula down cold. Every one of their songs is loaded with "hooks."
More hooks in one song than most artists have on their best albums
lol.Well said!Even the sonic transition before the chorus could stand as a unique offering to be sampled piece by piece.
'SOS' is regarded by many as the greatest pop single of all time, including Peter Townsend of the Who, and Ray Davies of the Kinks.
And John Lennon.
Ray Davies also said that if he couldn’t have a kinks song playing in his funeral, then he wanted it to be SOS.
John Lennon called this one of the most beautiful songs he had ever heard. And If you like their rocky stuff, check out "Hey hey Helen" and "Does your mother know"
Hole in your soul. Especially the live version. Best done with does your mother know first followed by hole in your soul as a collective live performance
@@Tom_McMurtry I think studio versions are totally superior.
How does anyone write a series of three minute pop songs that are amazing forevermore
This is one of ABBA’s all time great songs. Many more were to follow.

Yep! Guilty as charged!
Had the hots for those girls something fierce. Regards from a 63 year old metal head.
ABBA essentially created their own genre.
Abba and the Carpenters were guilty pleasures for all of us headbangers.
Good music is good music❤
💯 guilt free!
For sure.
You, too. That is me 1,000% although they are no longer guilty pleasures, given their individual brilliance. Vocally, Karen is truly God's angelic gift to all of us.

Abba have sold over 400 million albums and have a musical that has taken over 5 billion worldwide nd now voyage in London. They are one of the best bands ever.❤
oh shut up
They have about a dozen S Tier songs, and this is one of them. Pop music perfection.
The vocal harmonies are epic.
One of the best ever, they blended as almost one voice
That bridge section DOES rock. It completely elevates an already pretty damned good song.

ABBA was an take on the group's first names. One of my favorite ABBA songs was Fernando and you have already done my most favorite Dancing Queen.
Some consider SOS by ABBA to be the perfect pop song. 💥
And I'm one of them ! 👍👍👍
ABBA - Knowing Me Knowing You - The Winner Takes it all - Gimme Gimme Gimme - Take a Chance on me ....... and hundreds more.....

Your response is fully justified. This song is pure pop/rock brilliance.
ABBA is definitely one of Europe's greatest. Even though their career was short, their music will forever be impeccable. Revolutionary even.
46 years is short? You know they came out with a new album a couple years ago…
