One man's attempt to listen to everything in "1000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die"

1. Abba - Gold
Well, this was a pretty easy way to start - nothing too challenging here.
Got lots of grief from several friends when Abba started to pop up in my Facebook feed via Spotify. Fortunately, I have no shame when it comes to music. As many of you know, I'm perfectly comfortable admitting I listen to Glee, Barry Manilow, Dan Fogelberg and other cheesy pop music.
That said, I don't think I've ever listened to an Abba album - my experiences have just been from the radio and that horrible Mamma Mia movie.
This stuff is FUN - great pop music. Even the songs I'd never heard before were terrific. Listen to Does Your Mother Know and tell me it doesn't sounds like a lost Nick Lowe song!
Also, I've created a playlist on Spotify for the 1000 Listens journey - after each album listen, I'll put one favorite in the playlist.
One down... many to go!
