1) Amazon.com essential recording
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

Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5
1) All the Best... [Rating: 4 out of 5]
After seeing "Mamma Mia", the musical, in Las Vegas, I was hot to buy a CD of the music. This album did not disappoint. If you like ABBA, you'll love this CD. The price is right at Amazon.2) Bubble gum, but with flavor [Rating: 5 out of 5]
In the 60's and 70's, music afficionados would denigrate top 40 radio fare by calling it "bubble gum music", i.e. for the masses. Well, ABBA was a conglomeration of the best of Euro sound into the top act ever on that continent(during their short existence) for such music for the masses. They had a harmony that was haunting, and people either recoiled from the sound or gravitated to it. I found it electrifying and if you did too, then this album is for you. It has all of their greatest hits(that crossed the Atlantic to our shores) and is well worth the money.3) ABBA Gold [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Sweden's greatest pop group all but disappeared in the 1980's. Lyricist Bjorn Ulvaeus said he thought it was over, that ABBA's music would never be heard again. Then came the 1990s and a massive worldwide revival. ABBA Gold spearheaded the revival, topping the album charts in may countries. Books and TV shows about ABBA followed. Gold contains the very best of ABBA. Dancing Queen is a song recognizable all over the world. It even went to number one in the United States. Other ABBA classics on this CD are Take A Chance On Me, Knowing Me Knowing You and The Winner Takes it All. ABBA Gold deserves to be in everyone's collection. A masterpiece!4) Mega-excellent CD [Rating: 5 out of 5]
For all of you ABBA fans, this is a MUST HAVE CD. All of their best! I play it frequently.5) LOVING ABBA [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Everyone should own this. I grew up listening to Abba. Now we bought this for our little ones who love it too. Fun music for all. Great buy, especially from Amazon.SUPER PLEASED
