Amazon.com essential recording
Anyone looking for the key to Abbas enduring appeal should look no further than "Voulez Vous" and "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)" for their answer. There was an innocence to the Swedish quartet, even when they were singing about one-night stands and the invitations to them. Gold establishes that the band, while appreciated as campy, were actually multifaceted in their execution. "S.O.S." has a raw urgency in its chorus, and "Does Your Mother Know" draws its energy from classic 50s rock & roll. Likewise, you dont have to be Priscilla to swoon over "Mamma Mia" or "Dancing Queen." And when it comes to drama, those soaring vocals on "The Winner Takes It All" turn the song into a bitter anthem of every relationship that has ever fallen apart. The much-covered "Lay All Your Love on Me" is practically epic. --Steve Gdula

When it comes to lively, easy to listen music, ABBA does the trick. For anyone who has not yet seen the film or musical "Momma Mia," this includes the best pieces from that musical. ABBA has found a universal formula to share pop music and make it enjoyable and timeless. The collection does, however, lack two or three of their other important hits.
The 70s live again.

I graduated from HS in 1977 and was in college through the early 1980s, and that means that I lived this music the first time around. Its upbeat and pretty good for dancing. With the release of the movie musical "Mama Mia!" ABBAs music is staging a mainstream comeback. Now my daughter (a HS senior) and my wife play this music on their own. Ive been a below-the-radar ABBA listener for at least the past 20 years, with ABBA tracks finding their way onto exercise playlists on my iPod.
The collection on ABBA GOLD is probably the best single-disc collection of ABBAs greatest hits that has been released to date:
1. Dancing Queen
2. Knowing Me, Knowing You
3. Take a Chance on Me
4. Mamma Mia
5. Lay All Your Love on Me
6. Super Trouper
7. I Have a Dream
8. The Winner Takes It All
9. Money, Money, Money
10. S.O.S.
11. Chiquitita
12. Fernando
13. Voulez-Vous
14. Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)
15. Does Your Mother Know
16. One of Us
17. The Name of the Game
18. Thank You for the Music
19. Waterloo
Most of these tracks were international hits, many of them reaching high on the charts in the USA during ABBAs heyday.
I remember hearing and dancing to many of these tunes in discos (oooh, thats a happy and painful memory).
If you havent listened to this music for a while, be prepared for a series of triggers to all kinds of memories. If you are just starting to listen to ABBA, get ready for memories in the making.
This is a 5-star flashback to the age of disco.
I love Abba

Ive so enjoyed the resurgence of Abba..the theater version of Mama Mia..and the film version. SO I had to get the CD and I love it...the styling of the songs and the words are so impressive.
