AꓭBA was never quite my thing, but over time I've come to appreciate that they were very good at what they do. The two lads could pen a tune and the two ladies' voices blended very well.

I'd say it isn't about money.

ABBA's music always gets them on the dance floor

ABBA tunes are a lot easier to listen too than some of the so called music that pollutes the airwaves nowadays. A little bit late for a reunion now I feel but they should still draw the crowds.

I'd say they have more money than Mike Tyson could spend.

A𐐒BA

Type B in the INPUT box, and copy the result from the OUTPUT box.

Quote from the website:


Description

The upside down generator flips the input text horizontally and reverses it. This is done by analyzing each input character and replacing it by another Unicode character which resembles the flipped version of it.

The text generated can be used either for fun on various online web-sites and chat systems, or to create a strong password: mypassword will become pɹoʍssɐdʎɯ which is easy enough to remember and re-generate using this tool.

I would be stunned if one of them are broke, I would say they have more money than they could ever spend.

I don't see why they have to be broke to record a song, U2 record songs and they are not broke.

Seems happy-go-lucky to me. I like ABBA.

My mother used to love them, and I have loads of memories of driving to Donabate beach as a child with her singing along to the cassettes (which were kind of like streaming, except sometimes you had to use a pencil to make them work). Some really nice summer memories attached to those songs for me.

Of course, you always reject what your parents like (and in the case of their James Last obsession, this can be a good thing). But years later, when I hear an ABBA tune, not only do I know every chord change because of my immersion in it back then, but I can also appreciate that, damn, those boys could write a song. And please don't compare them to manufactured, Stock, Aitken and Waterman crap from the 80s - it's not their fault no-marks covered their catalogue.

Here is my favourite, and if anyone can find my glittered platform boots, please let me know.

I liked ABBA also. Because they were a talented group of singers and song writers and their songs are still worth listening too many decades later. How many good singers and song writers have come from pop music the last 10 years and how many of their songs will still be played and will remembered in 30 years time?

The proportion of decent stuff is probably the same. There was a lot of shite in the 70s too.

Think I read somewhere that though their music seems almost bland and simple their songs are fantastically complicated and really difficult to replicate.
