hmmm, I can appreciate good pop music, even cheap, cheesy pop music, but this is just crap in my opinion... could never stand it much...
a guy I used to know has a U2 bootleg which has a live version of Dancing Queen that they did... funny stuff! :)

ABBA was one of the first bands I was heavily exposed to as a kid and I've never disliked them. Dancing Queen is lush!

You can't call Abba crap, even if you don't like them. I don't listen to them (too many work Christmas parties with 40 year olds bellowing along to them), but I recognise that their songwriting skills were exceptional. A parallel is the Bee Gees (early stuff) who have been similarly saturated but also had brilliant songwriting talent.

I don't know though, you talk about their song writing skills... but everything I've heard by them sounds almost the same... shrug...

Well of course their stuff mostly sounds similar, they had a distinctive style... I'm not the biggest Abba fan so I'm not going to pontificate on the direction their career went, heh. All I know is that in pop single terms some of their tracks are excellent, some of them quite subversive too, there's a darker undercurrent to Abba's stuff which belies their sparkling superficiality... ok that's enough methinks!
