Pop group Abba will never reform, one of the Swedish band's songwriters and former members has said. Bjorn Ulvaeus said the band would not follow other acts by regrouping, as their "creativity" together had gone.

#4 Takes some class to admit that its time to move on. All those 50 or 60 something 'rockers' trying for that flashback is all too often sad.

#5 I knew they would never reform when five years ago they were offered 30 million each for a summer tour and they declined.

Crap, give the money to charity you cheap bastards. I could tour with michael moore for a summer for 30 million.

#8 Sung to "Dancing Queen"

You can know, when to quit, and have the time of your life.
See those folks, on the beach, no more strife.

Friday night someone else's turn,
Going out - get a pizza to go.
Making sure that the cook will not let the thing burn,
Take it home, and rent a new video.
It's now someone else's song line.
Night is young and the pizza's cold.
With a bit of microwave, everything is fine
You just are getting too old
And when you get the chance...

You are ABBA of old, no longer, only seventeen,
In your mind, feel the beat from the tambourine,
You still dance, you still jive, but it's time to get on with your life.
See new folks, watch that scene, digging new Dancing Queens

Agreed, but I have to cut ABBA some slack as they were a more early '80's ~~abortion~~ phenomenon.

Check out Rush's 30 year anniversary concert in Germany (released on DVD two weeks ago); what a freakin' contrast to this CRAP. They even did some cover tunes - the Who's 'The Seeker' and 'Summertime Blues' and Cream's 'Crossroads', all well done. They've not done any covers to my recollection up to this point.

OK, I know what I'm doing for the next few hours...

#10 Actually, Rush's last album, Feedback, was all covers and includes the songs you just listed.
