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

Great album - the best of Abba...would highly recommend it for all long-time Abba fans, as well as more recently, fans of the Mamma Mia movie.

When it comes to lively, easy to listen music, ABBA does the trick. For anyone who has not yet seen the film or musical "Momma Mia," this includes the best pieces from that musical. ABBA has found a universal formula to share pop music and make it enjoyable and timeless. The collection does, however, lack two or three of their other important hits.

I've so enjoyed the resurgence of Abba..the theater version of Mama Mia..and the film version. SO I had to get the CD and I love it...the styling of the songs and the words are so impressive.
