They are one of those groups whose songs have been to absolute death. To the point where they’ve become a parody of themselves. As much as I respect them as musicians, I couldn’t sit through a concert of it.
I can not see it happening. They have always said it would necer happen because there are not only professional differances now but also personal problems including divorce. Also i would pay a penny as i am not intrested it wacthing them sing, so thats one less person to beat in the ticket race should they reform.

Agreed. While I can see they wrote a good pop song, they are so overplayed I'm sick and tired of them.
Can't think of a single group today who's songs will still be played in 40 years time. I just missed seeing them at Wembley in 79 and would travel anywhere to see them. Have often wondered why it is that Benny & Bjorn have never managed to write songs of the caliber of Dancing Queen or The Winner Takes it All, since the group disbanded. They were prolific songwriters of continuous hits for over a decade, but haven't produced the same quality since. The voices will have deteriorated but I'd love to hear an album of fresh material.

They have indeed kept writing...Chess, Christina and many songs for Helen Sjoholm. Please take a few minutes to listen to this song from Chess.
ps. There have been reunions, but private and very low key.

I'll be the first in line.............
cant see it happe
You have to give credit where it's due & for what they were/are, they're the best.
A bit like Take That. I hate boy bands, but I can appreciate that they were/are the best boy band.
Any tour would sell out in an instant, probably even if massively overpriced.
Thought this was going to be about their years of criminality.
David Bowie
Elton John
Pete Townsend
Paul McCartney
Jagger/Richards
Just a few great songwriters who are still around but arguably haven't written anything decent in 30 years or more.

There you go Granpa
