Tom is right again. Abba was just pop for the brain dead.

The most curious thing..
If you listen to the lyrics they are quite disturbing. Light frothy pop tunes but with lyrics about divorce, relationships breaking up, unrequired love, regret, loneliness. If you listen to all of Abba Gold it can get quite depressing.
Top group though.

The Winner Takes It All lyrics
Songwriters: Ulvaeus, Bjorn; Andersson, Benny
I don't wanna talk
About the things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's history
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny
I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules
The Gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all
(Takes it all)
The loser has to fall
(Has to fall)
It's simple and it's plain
(Yes, it's plain)
Why should I complain
But tell me does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed
The judges will decide
(Decide)
The likes of me abide
(Abide)
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
(Staying low)
The game is on again
(All again)
A lover or a friend
(Or a friend)
A big thing or a small
(Big or small)
The winner takes it all
(Takes it all)
I don't wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You've come to shake my hand
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all
Someone winner
Takes it all
And one loses
Has to fall
From a guide
From the side
Makes that feeling
Someone here
Takes it all
Has to fall
This is magic
Someone here

Abba were a fantastic pop group. Once you clear awy the hen party shit nadc that goawful mama mia atrocity, and listen to the actual songs you have to accept that what they were doing was light years ahead of anyone else producing poop music at that time.
The songs have stood up so long because they are so well written and produced. yes some are cheesy but that goes with the territory.

I have a soft spot for S.O.S., because it came out while my body was being used by Swedish (and other) students for holiday romance. It was great - when my British girlfriend that year had been trying to play head games, I simply went out and pulled a top totty beauty. She was off the richter scale of gorgeousity, and her friends were lovelies too. I told the English bird to wait because I didn't want to spoil a lass's holiday, then after Ingela had gone I dumped her anyway
