I like Abba but I am in the minority in that I do not like the musical Mamma Mia - I would much prefer to listen to the original of good tracks then cover versions. Generally, at 30, I like a lot of music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, definitely more so than the pop music of today.

Me! My friend called me a hippie the other day because I have songs from the 70s and the 80s on my phone. My favourite Abba song is Chiquitita.

My dad had an ABBA cd and he used to listen to it all the time. We also just watched the Mama Mia musical. It was a lot of fun and it was hard not to sing along.

This was a good decade for pop music.

One of my favorites.

I am not sure what the songs of ABBA are, but I listen to songs from the 80's.

I'm a 90's baby but I love ABBA and other music from the 70's/80's! Especially after Mamma Mia came out, I was reintroduced to ABBA and have loved them since.

ABBA is great. Do you guys know that Frida from ABBA was the product of a nazi breeding program? Disturbing and bizarre story.

You an I, tonight!
You may forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.

When you have done, pray tell me
That I my thoughts may dim;
Haste! lest while you're lagging.
I may remember him!

I simply adore 80s music. There is a lot of music trending that simply is not quality. But the 80s was the music era. The bands, lyrics, and concerts were all outstanding, and I don’t think that we will ever return to that glory. However, I have noticed a return of 80s tunes and melodies in modern music.
The answer to your question is yes, I do still listen to ABBA and other songs from the 80s.

ABBA is great. The Eighties are probably the last era of really great continuous music. Most of the so-called "artists" nowadays are struggling to release one decent studio album.
