Anyone looking for the key to Abba's 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 don't 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

- The 70's 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. It's upbeat and pretty good for dancing. With the release of the movie musical "Mama Mia!" ABBA's music is staging a mainstream comeback. Now my daughter (a HS senior) and my wife play this music on their… More reviews
