Hmmm... That's strange. Have you seen this movie "Mamma Mia!" featuring Pierce Brosnan and Meryl Streep? It's a musical drama and all the songs were ABBA's. It's a Swedish band that was extremely popular during the 70s.

I have seen that movie.
A lot of old guys and a old women. All think that they are the father of the girl.

I love ABBA! They were probably the second band I listened to as a kid (Michael Jackson was the first). I know almost all their songs by heart. I haven't written a post on them though. And I didn't have any of their songs on my comp as it's new, but you just reminded me! Ripping their CDs right now.

Super Trouper is good... The Winer takes is all is very emotional. But I think Thanks You For The Music is my fave, it just says so much.

Swetha, what are the other good ol' bands you had in mind besides Abba?
Swetha
from Coimbatore |
Hmmm, I have heard singles by the Beatles, Mamas and the Papas, music from the 80's like Chris De Burgh's, MJ and 90's like Ace of Base. I don't like the current stuff much...

@Swetha
So it is actually a favorite of so many people. I am ashamed I never herd of it before. Will do some more research about it.

Abba is a bit girly for my tastes... but I do love Pink Floyd, the Beatles, led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Aerosmith.

Abba ofcourse, is a very feel good band... They even depict their sad songs in fast paces to not delve too much into the melancholic lyrics. Most of us bow down to The Beatles for their versatility in music. However, I personally think, Floyd, Guns'n'Roses, The Pretenders, The Eagles, The Bee Gees and Simon and Garfunkel cut a new niche in classic music. My all time favourite being Porcupine Tree.
If you do like soft music with great lyrics, tune into Damien Rice and John Mayer. One Acoustic guitar and some great tunes.
Music kept simple sounds like music. Otherwise, it just sounds like noise.
