You have some great taste in music. The carpenters and Abba, nice to see a young lad appreciating all music genres. Bless ya.

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

They ARE amazing! Glad you found enjoyment in them... I know plenty of metalheads Who secretly listened to them, top, lol

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.

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.

Your family is so on target with their recommendations!

ABBA is one of the great superstar groups of the 1970s and early 80s

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

It's so catchy of a song that it is IMPOSSIBLE not to sing along!

PS: I second "SOS" by ABBA, it is my most favorite song by them.

Sex Pistols's Glenn Matlock was a huge fan of this song. "Submission" is somehow based on it.

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 :)

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.

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.

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!!

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!

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. :)

I just love the way your face lights up when you watching these great artist's..

And this ABBA group like singing in various language , swedish , english , spanish and deutsche . Very beautiful angelic voices , wonderful music and songs ever .

Please react to ''Thank you for the music''

Such a good feeling to see you smile like that! Thanks James!

@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)

Thank you for listening to your auntie!! Smart lady!!

Another great ABBA song! Don't pay attention to the IDIOTS! Keep on doing what you are doing!

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.

Oooh ooh ooh, and if you want tears in your eyes, check out Abba - The winner takes it all.

"The Way Old Friends Do" by ABBA.

As a swede and ABBA fan since childhood I recommend ABBA- When all is said and done.

Love it. Try "Dancing Queen"

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 😂

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.

Dancing Queen by ABBA, to me, is the absolute best

‘The Sound of Silence’ by Simon and Garfunkel!!!!

ABBA are one heck of a group. Very high level of musicality, musicianship and professionalism. Their entire catalogue is quality.

There are two movies, Muriel's Wedding and Mamma Mia! (and Mamma Mia! 2) where all of the music is ABBA songs.

I love Frieda she's just grooving and so full of life. I love her dancing

The joy on your face is priceless! That’s how I feel

A big part of the charm was the lack of corporate polish on their act, it was totally authentic and endearing.

They were 👌..... nobody can replicate their music just abba that’s how good they were .... luv your channel your such a sweet guy 👍

More ABBA!! Please check out knowing me knowing you.

Dude. You are killin it. ABBA is my 2nd favorite group after Journey

Yeah ABBA is a great band and right up there with the legends. Keep rockin' bro!

My favourite band ever! So much beautiful music.

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.

Whoohoo!! ABBA is a phenomenal band. There's nothing like ABBA and ever will be.

The choreography of ABBA's videos are outstanding. This music is just incredible.

This has always been one of my favorite songs by ABBA. The video is still cute & charming after all these years.

One of their greatest!!! ❤️

Lay All Your Love On Me is my favorite ABBA song. It's phenomenal.

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

"Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end!"😃😄😁

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

ABBA really grows on you, and it never goes away...

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!

This shit go so hard. Great harmonies. Great synthesizers. Straight dope!

Pitch Perfect Ever...Agnetha and Frida...I Love this group since 1975 till today...Iam glad that they are back #WelcomeBackABBA #ABBAForevermoreEternity #ILoveABBA

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

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.

Real musicians...Genius artists

I love that you appreciate this group so much. Yup, listen to all their hits. They were awesome! Real 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

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!!

Wonderful production! On all of their stuff! This one always reminded me of Disneyland!

Out of all their ABBA songs, this is my favorite song from them. I'm a huge ABBA fan. 👍

Hello everybody from Russia.Moscow. My favorite song "One of us" and many many others. ABBA my love .

Tropical Loveland or mebbe King Kong Song, Rock Me, Why Did it Have to be Me? The list goes on and on....

ABBA are such a joy! Thank you for choosing to react to them. 🤗

Yes, I agree with you that they were great. This was my favorite one.

I have various KZread 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.

Your auntie was right, ABBA is legendary!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Think I was like 10 when this was out. Listening on a tiny AM radio up past bed time. :)

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.

Their voices are soooo beautiful!!!!

ABBA had more songs in the top ten , and more number one hits than the Beatles had . At one time ABBA was likely the biggest band in the world . They had every age group loving them. There downfall was being married to each other, go figure that was never going to last. Great band

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.

Your auntie was right. I love ABBA and your reactions are priceless. 😊

I’m loving your ABBA-fest today, so thank you!!! I bought all their albums back in the day and their music is still as fresh as it was back then. ❤️

It's about time somebody is recognizing ABBA. Thank you.

Music is great when it makes you that happy!!!

ABBA songs are very difficult to sing the way their voicez harmonised together it is very hard to do, I love them 💞

LOVE that you LOVE ABBA! Been a fan since 1974!

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🙂

Your reactions are the best! You're so adorable! CAN I ADOPT YOU. 😊

My favourite Abba songs: The Day Before You Came, The Winner Takes It All, The Visitors. A lot of their later music is amazing! :)

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.

I really like your reactions!! So honest 🍑

I have a similar response when I Pavarotti sing Mess in Dorma. I love this piece. Tears stain my face as I write this post. Even when I hum it something happens to me. It touches my soul and soars to the Heavens. I am a person of colour who did not have a whole lot of experience with classical music early in my life, yet I appreciate it now so very much. I can definitely relate.

Your smile and reactions are genuine... ABBA is a great band. Glad you are opening up and taking it in!!

ABBA was unbelievable!!! Loved them!!!

This is pure gold!

This song got me into ABBA. It makes me wanna dance.

Loving the ABBA!!!!!
