They were four: A B B A

Abba were one of my 1st favorite music stars in the early 80s. I haven't heard their music for years. But, if they do a concert or a tour, I would love to see them live!!

Agnetha was beautiful back then, but time waits for one. It did wait a little more with the guys in the band,IMO. I remember when Debbie Harry returned I was shocked, because that young and fresh look was gone. ABBA is the same. In our minds, there's the image of them back in the days. It would be very strange to see them now reunited.

That's an advantage of the stones. They never were away long enough for people to be shocked with a sharp change in appearance due to age.

Doubt they'll reunite due to marital issues...

I liked Agnetha just because of her voice...

I don't understand Agnetha. She effectively contributes to the ABBA split in the mid eighties when they were on top (she wanted to be a housewife...).
Then plays Greta Garbo for thirty years or something. Now, in 2013, she wants to reunite the band...

Oh God no....

How can we miss them if they don't stay away?

The amount of money they could make on a full on tour would make even Mick envious.

Yes, a German soldier.

Hey, know what the difference between a Norwegian and a German is?

A Norwegian pays twice as much for a pint of beer, but doesn't realize it because he makes twice as much money.

Lol.

We are really spoiled as being the Stones fans...

Think about Abba hard-core fans, what have they missed all these years?

And the looks are still a little bit different thing for men and women, it's just a reality, Benny and Björn could perform, no problem.

Abba could have (should have!) made such massive world tours many times in 80s and in 90s and in 2000 - 2010 and I would have loved to see them, I wouldn't have minded even if Agnetha wouldn't have been so young and beautiful anymore, her voice would have been so beautiful anyway... And her voice is still in good shape I think.

I must admit though that in the 70s Agnetha was one hell of a sexy woman... One of the sexiest ever in the show business.

She hated the travelling and the hotels and all the fans screaming on streets but she has said that she always liked the actual performing on stage.

I wouldn't bother too much either, considering his bank account..

Fascinating this is such big news on a Rolling Stones-forum.

Yes, I sometimes wonder myself how can I be a hard core Stones fan and at the same time to like very much about Abba, it just doesn't make any sense but the music is not so much about sense, it's more about emotion I think!

Both the Stones and ABBA made pop music."Who the shoe fits puts him on", as we say in Holland.
