Also, I remember growing tired pretty quickly of even the then acknowledged hits of the 1980s. But apart from the hits per se, when I tried listening to other songs by these artists, I realized rather to my dismay that none of them really appealed to me. Post ABBA’s breakup, there were the hits by other artists of the 1980s that would occupy my pop music listening time.

I remember rushing madly to watch ABBA – The Movie in nearby Chanakya theatre on its release.

Songs like As Good As New, Voulez Vous, Eagle and the wonderful Gimme Gimme Gimme took hold in equal proportion along with Vivid Bharati’s Jaymala Karyakram, Binaca Geet Mala and Sangam Karyakram, plus Carnatic music of course. Growing up in New Delhi, India in the 1970s, listening to ABBA was very much a part of my life then. This was especially evident in songs like When All Is Said And Done and in their last 1980s hit single One Of Us. Their song lyrics in their last album The Visitors unequivocally reflected the end of the group. And oh boy, how they really RULED the pop world for the next ten years! The ABBA-mania, for instance, that they generated in Australia leaves one gasping and totally stunned when we watch the video footages available now on YouTube. It’s common knowledge that this Swedish-based group took the popular music world by storm in the 1970s. Cover of the beautifully and incredibly detailed ABBA biography by Carl Magnus Palm
