Apples and oranges, man. ABBA never wrote a song like "Strawberry Fields Forever" and the Beatles never wrote a song like "Dancing Queen". Neither one was better than the other. They're BOTH great, classic bands that will live forever.
We all know ABBA were very popular worldwide but they were Absolutely Idolised in The UK. I lived there during their active years and all I remember was hit after hit after hit, it just kept going. Happy times and happy memories. The world doesn't seem as warm & friendly nowadays without them.
Just the fact that everyone knew the words without even thinking proves how great ABBA are. Whether you like them or not, you probably know a lot of their lyrics off by heart.
No matter what race, creed, colour or where we come from I think i'm right in saying we all are proud of ABBA for what they have achieved & we just love you Swedes in general.
Jonathan Ros at his appauling lame best at interviewing one of the greatest musicians of our era. No wonder Benny dismissed him with the contempt he deserved.

I agree..never have to choose, all the great bands have their own unique identitity.

And those lyrics came from Bjorn.
Benny Anderson and Bjorn Ulvaeus were/ are two of the most important song-smiths, songwriters and sound-visionaries of our time!!!
Without Agnetha and Frida there would be no abba
Wish I was there its my dying wish to see ABBA perform live one more

Watched this over and over. I love ABBA. They have made lots of wonderful musics.
This makes me so proud to be swedish!
The mere fact that Benny was in the same interview episode as Emma Watson makes my patriotic side swell with pride!
