ABBA was a constant vinyl at my Ma's best friend's house. I'd be in the front room grooving around with my child self and they'd be in the back playing Yahtzee with the Budweiser and Marlboros. We were all having fun. I really appreciate your sincerity and openness. Keep making this pretty hard world better.
You are spoiling us tonight JB!! Love Abba. Great reactions and reviews. I've said it before, the joy you find in experiencing music is wonderful to behold. My favourite Abba track is Fernando. Even if you don't get the chance to react/review it , at least try and listen to it in your free time if you can. It's a great song. Keep up the good work JB and may your channel continue to grow in the way you want it to :)
They were a world wide phenomenon. People of all ages, we're talkin' from real little kids to older folks would go to their shows. These two women's voices blended so well together and they could lay it down live. True talent. One of the biggest world wide bands of all time
Been a lifelong, unapologetic ABBA fan (I'm 54) If you want more suggestions- my favorite is The Name of the Game. Some serious, some fun, a great video. Thanks for the reactions.
I GREW UP IN THE 70s and your right everyone loved to hate on ABBA but truthfully MOST PEOPLE LOVED THE MUSIC, THEY JUST DIDN'T THINK IT WAS COOL TO SAY YOU LIKED ABBA!! ABBA was a wonderful Swedish group!!
My husband and I had almost all ABBA music played at our wedding reception back in 1997. It was awesome, with a lot of dancing. :) (Edit to add): I remember the first time I heard this song. I was around 12, and was sitting in the backseat of our family's green Thunderbird, coming back from fishing with my dad and his best friend. We were just coming down the road to our house. As soon as I heard it, I was mesmerized and asked my dad to turn the volume up. Then I made dad and Major Root stay in the car until the song finished. I was hooked on ABBA at that point, and received my very first ABBA record from mom and dad that following Christmas. I am now 48 and still have that record sitting in the cabinet of our family room. :)
In the 70's I was a long haired rocker kid, rock and heavy metal, ABBA was a chick band to be made fun of, fast forward 35 years later I explored ABBA and was shocked at how many songs I remembered and how great this band is, as we get older scenes and styles can be crossed without fear of getting your teeth knocked out LOL. Then I find out that a large proportion of my rock and metal gods are also big fans of ABBA. I am in a good plce now hehehe.
what a time to be ALIVE....the music had so much more SOUL.....what happened??? this is beautiful in every way.... the natural beauty of people in the day
@Cobb Knobbler Indeed, ora awesome... but Sinead O'Connor made the best cover of that song I ever heard, sometimes I even like it more than the original (I know, it seems very sacrilegious to me too, but trust me)
And this ABBA group like singing in various language , swedish , english , spanish and deutsche . Very beautiful angelic voices , wonderful music and songs ever .
Your channel is going to skyrocket because you are following your heart and it shows in your reactions. The best songwriters and artists in the world will tell you ABBA is amazing. Never let negative people affect what you want to listen to.
You are on the correct path brother. The classics are the way to go, modern music is generally poor. Also, there are sooo much amazing songs and artists still to discover. What you have already discovered is only the tip of the iceberg.
THAT smile crossing your face is what ABBA does to people listening to their music. Put you to the test. How did the group's name come about? 1st song I heard S.O.S, in the way back 1975 and I was hooked. Biggest surprise? The guys vocals are very good. Fave album (not greatest hits) Voulez Vous.
I love most of their songs - think they actually did a song called “Thankyou for the music” 🤓 Great reaction... can see ur genuine and ur definitely down that rabbit hole haha 😂
It is really special to see a young man like yourself appreciate music like ABBA. We took this for granted when they first emerged because there was an abundance of talent back in the seventies. As time goes by I realise that it was a privilege to hear this kind of music first hand. Great post!!
I grew up on ABBA. Really like the genuine joy you seem to have listening to their music, it makes me re-appreciate the magic of their sound. Their music from around this period could be so joyful, really wonderful! They were really diverse though, depending on which period you listen from. Their last album ‘The Visitors’ was quite a departure (and a few non albums tracks after that) but absolutely stunning in a different way. The Day Before You Came is one of my favourites, pure melancholy but so fantastic! I encourage you to source everything they did, including the unreleased demos. Theirs hardly a blotch on their repertoire!
Yes another GREAT ABBA song..my 2nd favorite or maybe tied for #1 with Lay All Your Love On Me....you can't be down and here this song...it's so uplifting and Frida is really getting down dancing.
Talking about ABBA's popularity this is taken from Wikipedia: With sales of 5.5 million copies, Gold: Greatest Hits is the second-highest selling album of all time in the United Kingdom, after Queen's Greatest Hits (1981, 6.1 million units).[4] In August, 2019, Gold: Greatest Hits became the longest-running top 100 album of all time, spending 900 weeks on the UK Albums Chart. The album spent 62 (non-consecutive) weeks in the top 10 and topped the British chart seven times, most recently for two weeks in 2008 following release of the motion picture Mamma Mia!.[5] The Beatles' Sgt Pepper album is the third highest selling album of all time in the UK and they are from the UK.
Pitch Perfect Ever...Agnetha and Frida...I Love this group since 1975 till today...Iam glad that they are back #WelcomeBackABBA #ABBAForevermoreEternity #ILoveABBA
I have various TH-cam accounts. Came across you using another but have logged in as ABBADiego, so you now have an admirer. I absolutely love your passion for the group I grew up with. I "met" them on various occasions, they were superstars but never went around as primadonnas, always humble and great with their fans. There is an ABBA song for every human emotion. You are a great guy, I love this group, always have, always will and love that you are moved by their genius music.
Thanks for having the appreciation for all these classic songs! Another good one to check out is "Next Time I Fall" by Peter Cetera and Amy Grant. It's a mid 80's ballad that made it to #1 for good reason! (And since we're on Abba here, Peter Cetera also did a duet with Agnetha Fältskog called "I Wasn't the One Who Said Goodbye")
Awesome! " I dont care what anyone says..." What ever anyone has to say about ABBA, one thing for sure is that their music was just so FUN and mostly cheerful. My first memory of this song is in the early 80's my tiny baby cousin standing in front of the TV in just a diaper, dancing to this music. She is 39 this year lol.
The Legends that are ABBA have left an indelible mark in music history. They were and still are giants of pop music. Often copied but never equalled. To think there are new songs from them to be released next year is simply amazing. From the few people who have heard them, they are as good as anything they've written before.
Love Abba, they are like a guilty pleasure because you don't hear a lot of people admit they like them. But I feel like they got even bigger after the 80s especially with the movies Muriel's Wedding and Mama Mia
I agree with you and the classics! 😊 If you want a few "newer" songs that channel the classics though: *Mika* - "Grace Kelly" "Relax, Take It Easy" "Love Today" *OK Go* - "A Million Ways" "Here It Goes Again" (definitely watch OK Go in that prefer though). *Franz Ferdinand* - "Dark of the Matinee" "Take Me Out" "Walk Away" "Jacqueline" "The Fallen" "Call Me (Blondie Cover) "No You Girls" You will *not* be disappointed!
My Moms, God rest her soul, ABBA was her favorite band I have her albums. Your Auntie is right they were super popular. And sounds like your Mom and me have alot in common. The 70's were great!
Love love your channel. So uplifting to see this music appreciated. Trust your amazing good music sense. You know good music when you hear it and your sharing of it is a joy.
Please don't ever listen to others telling you what you should do with your channel -- you follow your heart and spirit, my friend. It's called following your BLISS.... and it is how you stay happy in life. You seem like such a happy and joyous person with a true love for what you are experiencing and a love for sharing that experience -- not just trying to get the most subscriptions by saying what you think people want to hear, and that (and what you choose to react to) makes you unique and a joy to watch... which will continue to bring you subscribers; or, at least the subscribers that I think you will always enjoy interacting with. You will know if and when it's time to move on to something different. :)
They got buried under the "Disco Sucks" backlash, but ABBA wasn't really "disco", it was just great pop music. Their musicality got lost in the era, and I say that as someone who hated disco -- and therefore ABBA -- but seeing them now - without the blinders of "contemporary issues" (which died around 1983) -, I can finally appreciate how amazingly talented they were. As writers(Benni)/lyricists(Björn) and performers (Agnetha [pronounced Anyetta - roughly] and Anni Frid [Frida]) - the B ,B, A, A of ABBA

Most of the hardest mofos in the 1970s had a hidden Abba record collection.
they are a guilty pleasure lol
Butch Brewer , that's true, im from the Philippines.
So true! Even Lemmy from Motorhead loved ABBA...may he rest in peace.
ABBA and Carpenters. Two that always had to be kept a secret amount metalheads and rockers. Silly because they are both amazing.
Haa. So true!
Awe man, if you want to experience a really beautoful abba song, you should do "knowing me knowing you".
A-Ha!!!!!!!
@@cl4re4d4ms Damn....beat me to it 🤣
jay willingham Yes, yes, yes!
jay willingham yes for sure!
I just adore your 😁 when you're truly enjoying yourself 😁
You have some great taste in music.
The carpenters and Abba, nice to see a young lad appreciating all music genres. Bless ya.
ABBA was a constant vinyl at my Ma's best friend's house. I'd be in the front room grooving around with my child self and they'd be in the back playing Yahtzee with the Budweiser and Marlboros.

I forgot about that one.
Fernando is my favorite, too.
My 1st ABBA song was Fernando. I still remember clearly that moment.
Best Swedish important since the pocket knife.
@@drakawinkle584 I wish you understand swedish. The swedish version is even better.
@@nisse7399 me, too.
They were a world wide phenomenon. People of all ages, we're talkin' from real little kids to older folks would go to their shows. These two women's voices blended so well together and they could lay it down live. True talent. One of the biggest world wide bands of all time
Please react to Fernando and SOS. Both are by Abba and the songs are amazing
When I was younger in the mid to late eighties I didn't like Fernando but now it's one of my favorites.
They ARE amazing! Glad you found enjoyment in them... I know plenty of metalheads Who secretly listened to them, top, lol
PS: I second "SOS" by ABBA, it is my most favorite song by them.
SOS is like Prog Pop
Yep, I will third it. One of my faves.
Sex Pistols's Glenn Matlock was a huge fan of this song. "Submission" is somehow based on it.
Been a lifelong, unapologetic ABBA fan (I'm 54) If you want more suggestions- my favorite is The Name of the Game. Some serious, some fun, a great video. Thanks for the reactions.

Your family is so on target with their recommendations!

what a time to be ALIVE....the music had so much more SOUL.....what happened??? this is beautiful in every way.... the natural beauty of people in the day
That's a true smile if I've ever seen one. 😊 🇸🇪
Since you’re on the ABBA train you gotta out Fernando , & Waterloo in the list. All their songs are great! Welcome to the 70’s. 💋💕
Julie Ford Fernando!! I haven't thought of that in years!
Chiquitita gets far too little attention, please react to it.
@Cobb Knobbler Indeed, ora awesome... but Sinead O'Connor made the best cover of that song I ever heard, sometimes I even like it more than the original (I know, it seems very sacrilegious to me too, but trust me)
It's so catchy of a song that it is IMPOSSIBLE not to sing along!
Thank you for listening to your auntie!! Smart lady!!
And this ABBA group like singing in various language , swedish , english , spanish and deutsche . Very beautiful angelic voices , wonderful music and songs ever .
Another great ABBA song! Don't pay attention to the IDIOTS! Keep on doing what you are doing!
Such a good feeling to see you smile like that! Thanks James!
Love it. Try "Dancing Queen"
According to my phone, I watched it🙃
ABSOLUTELY!
Love ABBA. You're awesome for loving them, too!!!

You are on the correct path brother. The classics are the way to go, modern music is generally poor.
Also, there are sooo much amazing songs and artists still to discover. What you have already discovered is only the tip of the iceberg.
As a swede and ABBA fan since childhood I recommend ABBA- When all is said and done.
I just love the way your face lights up when you watching these great artist's..
THAT smile crossing your face is what ABBA does to people listening to their music. Put you to the test. How did the group's name come about? 1st song I heard S.O.S, in the way back 1975 and I was hooked. Biggest surprise? The guys vocals are very good. Fave album (not greatest hits) Voulez Vous.
Oooh ooh ooh, and if you want tears in your eyes, check out Abba - The winner takes it all.
ABBA are one heck of a group. Very high level of musicality, musicianship and professionalism.
Their entire catalogue is quality.
The joy on your face is priceless! That’s how I feel
They were 👌..... nobody can replicate their music just abba that’s how good they were .... luv your channel your such a sweet guy 👍
There are two movies, Muriel's Wedding and Mamma Mia! (and Mamma Mia! 2) where all of the music is ABBA songs.
I love most of their songs - think they actually did a song called “Thankyou for the music” 🤓 Great reaction... can see ur genuine and ur definitely down that rabbit hole haha 😂
I love Frieda she's just grooving and so full of life. I love her dancing
It is really special to see a young man like yourself appreciate music like ABBA. We took this for granted when they first emerged because there was an abundance of talent back in the seventies. As time goes by I realise that it was a privilege to hear this kind of music first hand. Great post!!
Please react to ''Thank you for the music''
This has always been one of my favorite songs by ABBA. The video is still cute & charming after all these years.
The choreography of ABBA's videos are outstanding. This music is just incredible.
Dude. You are killin it. ABBA is my 2nd favorite group after Journey
It's great isn't it? I could easily compile a list of 50 ABBA songs of this quality. It's amazing what they produced in less than 10 years.
The smile on your face give us a very heavy clue: YOU ARE REACTING TO ABBA
More ABBA!! Please check out knowing me knowing you.
Dancing Queen by ABBA, to me, is the absolute best
Super trooper for me.

Lay All Your Love On Me is my favorite ABBA song. It's phenomenal.
My favourite band ever! So much beautiful music.
The good old days where music was just nice! Me and my sister used to sing ABBA to our family when we were kids - thanks, man, for the memories xx
Yeah ABBA is a great band and right up there with the legends. Keep rockin' bro!
ABBA are such a joy! Thank you for choosing to react to them. 🤗
Yes another GREAT ABBA song..my 2nd favorite or maybe tied for #1 with Lay All Your Love On Me....you can't be down and here this song...it's so uplifting and Frida is really getting down dancing.
Tropical Loveland or mebbe King Kong Song, Rock Me, Why Did it Have to be Me? The list goes on and on....
A big part of the charm was the lack of corporate polish on their act, it was totally authentic and endearing.
Whoohoo!! ABBA is a phenomenal band. There's nothing like ABBA and ever will be.
Your smile and reactions are genuine... ABBA is a great band. Glad you are opening up and taking it in!!
"The Way Old Friends Do" by ABBA.
Out of all their ABBA songs, this is my favorite song from them. I'm a huge ABBA fan. 👍
This shit go so hard. Great harmonies. Great synthesizers. Straight dope!
Their voices are soooo beautiful!!!!

Pitch Perfect Ever...Agnetha and Frida...I Love this group since 1975 till today...Iam glad that they are back #WelcomeBackABBA #ABBAForevermoreEternity #ILoveABBA
Welcome to ABBA!! You just cannot be in a bad mood listening to them!!🎉🎉
I think some “Bee Gees” soon!
Yes!!!
Yes! And Beach Boys!
Head definitely and back to some of their early stuff,that will be a hard rabbit hole to get out of lol
Good memories of nights at the Roller Rink!

Wonderful production! On all of their stuff! This one always reminded me of Disneyland!
LOVE that you LOVE ABBA! Been a fan since 1974!
My favourite Abba songs: The Day Before You Came, The Winner Takes It All, The Visitors. A lot of their later music is amazing! :)
ABBA really grows on you, and it never goes away...
I've heard & enjoyed this song hundreds of times, but somehow I enjoy it more when watching YOU enjoy it for the first time! Keep it up!
‘The Sound of Silence’ by Simon and Garfunkel!!!!
All These Abba video’s are from lasse hallstrom. Back a young movie director. Now a famous Hollywood movie director
I love your reaction when they dance. You made me smile!! Please keep your channel going. You're great because you are genuine.

I love your unfiltered reaction. This is one of the reasons I watch your videos.
"Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end!"😃😄😁
ABBA was unbelievable!!! Loved them!!!

Love Abba, they are like a guilty pleasure because you don't hear a lot of people admit they like them. But I feel like they got even bigger after the 80s especially with the movies Muriel's Wedding and Mama Mia
Did you listen to "Does Your Mother Know?". By ABBA
...
I agree with you and the classics! 😊 If you want a few "newer" songs that channel the classics though:
*Mika* - "Grace Kelly" "Relax, Take It Easy" "Love Today"
*OK Go* - "A Million Ways" "Here It Goes Again" (definitely watch OK Go in that prefer though).
*Franz Ferdinand* - "Dark of the Matinee" "Take Me Out" "Walk Away" "Jacqueline" "The Fallen" "Call Me (Blondie Cover) "No You Girls"
You will *not* be disappointed!
Hello everybody from Russia.Moscow. My favorite song "One of us" and many many others. ABBA my love .
It's about time somebody is recognizing ABBA. Thank you.
My Moms, God rest her soul, ABBA was her favorite band I have her albums. Your Auntie is right they were super popular. And sounds like your Mom and me have alot in common. The 70's were great!
You cracked me up when you saw her dancing towards the end and I could see your face trying to copy and memorize her dancing! ☺👍
Love love your channel. So uplifting to see this music appreciated. Trust your amazing good music sense. You know good music when you hear it and your sharing of it is a joy.
If you think about how a lot of singers dress now in videos, it's so sweet seeing them dance around in their thick winter sweaters and boots🙂
I love your reactions! I LOVE younger people appreciating older music! Because current music is a huge step down from that era.
This song got me into ABBA. It makes me wanna dance.
I'm digging these reactions because I never knew some of these songs had videos! Lots of fun.

Music is great when it makes you that happy!!!
Please don't ever listen to others telling you what you should do with your channel -- you follow your heart and spirit, my friend.
