5 songs that sound like ABBA (but aren't)
67Miss them?
I gotta say I miss Abba. I'm not an obsessive fan or anything but there are times in your life when their songs really hit the mark. Of all the great pop music acts noone has come to close to providing such an instant moodlift as they do with their hits.
But they're long gone and won't reform. No new "Waterloo" or "Voulez Vouz" for us to enjoy. But if you are looking for the next best thing what about these 5 Abbatastic hits. I did a bit of searching around and came across 5 songs that, by accident or design, are very Abba-esque. What do you think? Do you know of any more Abba-sounding hits?
