Fleetwood Mac

ABBA? ABBA? ABBA?? They are not even the best pop band from Sweden.

Styx wasn't good, I'll give you that, but Abba? Really, Abba the best pop band ever?

Dude, plug in your copy of Mamma Mia and have another glass of whatever you are drinking.

There is this little band from Liverpool, it's in England. You should check them out.

Fleetwood Mac the best pop band ever, what have you guys been smoking?

I love this thread!!

G-Bless and Mapman, you guys are hilar-e-ous!

I hate Abba!! I hated Abba as a kid, I hated them as teenager, I hated them as a young adult, I hated them as an adult, and middle age is not changing my opinion!!

I do love all of the iterations of Fleetwood Mac, for some reason, but I won't admit in person.

Neilspeed,

Did you live in North America in the 70's or early 80's? I'm guessing you did not, because ABBA was everywhere, and I do belive that they actually sold quite a few albums.

The reason they did not do as well in North America as the rest of the world is in general we thought they sucked, as I think most of us still do.

Gawdbless, where does that number for ABBA come from?Searching the net I only come up with a Wikipedia article that looks relavant, and among the biggest selling acts, they by far have the smallest verified sales (49 mil), with a "reputed" sales number of 300 - 370.

But my point was that they were every where in the US in th 70's and 80's and did sell a lot of records in North America (12 mil), but they were not as popular here as they were overseas.

My contention is because we thought, and still do, that they sucked.

As far as the RAH in London, let's not get too excited about the musical taste of residents of the UK. Although they have produced the greatest Rock acts of all time, they don't seem to respect them. I read a few years ago that an Arctic Monkeys album was voted best of all time, with many Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin and Pink Floyd albums way down the list.

Very disturbing.

Abba still sucks.
