Although Abba aint my thing , I do respect the fact that despite all the offers ( and its far more
than the Sex Pistols will ever get ) , they have refused to reform.

If they did then it would be down to Stone Roses and The Smiths to carry the flag.

I have never been one for reforming I always think it stinks tbh !

just think, back in November/December we were getting excited about the rumour of Led Zeppelin reforming, and now a lot of the same crew are doing the same for....Abba

There are certain musical events not to be missed, and while i've never been a fan of Abba, i do love music enough to appreciate the historical magnitude that these 2 hrs would represent, and so understand the crime it would be to miss this if it ever panned out.

Ray Davies into Abba into Stevie on the pyramid on sunday would be brilliant. now if we can just get Jack Johnson to f**k off somewhere else...

People have been bashing Abba quite a lot, but they're actually very traditional. A lot of their stuff is inspired by Swedish folk music and folk music was the first style to put lyrics to music. Without that we wouldn't have any of this! So don't be too harsh with the "crime to music" jibes
