Classic Rock Music Monday

The stuff that now passes as "music", particularly rock 'n roll, leaves me cold. So, to start off the week, here's a video of a classic rock artist.   

To start this week, we're spotlighting the Swedish group ABBA, who hit big internationally in the mid-1970s. 

From Wikipedia:

ABBA (/ˈæbə/ AB-ə, Swedish: [ˈâbːa]; formerly named Björn & Benny, Agnetha & Anni-Frid or Björn & Benny, Agnetha & Frida) are a Swedish pop supergroup formed in Stockholm in 1972 by Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. The group's name is an acronym of the first letters of their first names arranged as a palindrome. They are one of the most popular and successful musical groups of all time, and are one of the best-selling music acts in the history of popular music, topping the charts worldwide from 1974 to 1982, and in 2022.

 For your viewing and listening pleasure, we have two videos:

ABBA Mulls Possible Reunion

Above, ABBA back in their heyday in the 1970s.

Next year marks the 40th anniversary of ABBA's hit, "Waterloo" and it is possible that to commemorate the anniversary, ABBA may have a reunion.

The news of a possible reunion of the Swedish pop group came from JapanToday.

They wrote:

FRANKFURT —The legendary Swedish pop group ABBA is mulling a possible reunion next year, singer Agnetha Faltskog said in a German newspaper interview Sunday. 

Next year marks the 40th anniversary of the band’s first hit “Waterloo”,  which won them the Eurovision song contest and catapulted them to fame. 

ABBA subsequently became one of the world’s best-selling pop bands with a string of number one hits. 

Is it really almost 40 years since 1974?! Yeesh! That's where age really creeps up on you.
