So with the massive success of rock groups reuniting (Eagles,Van Halen) it only makes me wish that ABBA would reunite.
The super group is more popular today then it was in the 1970's when there first hit was herd on the radio.
Just check out the net now. There is lots of ABBA tribute bands and they all are very popular. As for the original band itself the group was not a critical darling. It was also written off my people as some sort of disco group. Now the test of time has proved to all ABBA fans (from the 1970's) that the group was great and lots of their songs were instant classics.
Such songs that were released then will still be hits today. "Dancing Queen", & "Fernando" are such gems that day does not go by where I do not here one of those songs somewhere.
Now next Summer the movie MAMA MIA will hit the movie screens. Its a simple little story that uses all songs from ABBA. I saw the play and it was a blast. SO the time has come to see these 4 people re-unite. Rumors have floated around that they were going too however they were just rumors. In fact the rumor was they did turn down huge $$$$ it was upwards of $800,000,000. (split between the group)
Well look the Spice Girls are re-uniting and there concerts are sell outs. Can you imagine an ABBA reunion?
It would be an event of the decade. It would break concert records. It would be great. I just hope I live long enough to see this group in person.
