Of course I know their names. Bjorn and Bennie wrote lyrically challenged but well orchestrated pop diddies, highly derivative with the occasional classical interlude. Agnetha had a fantastic voice and matching ass. I wish she could have worked with American writers and producers. The German version of Ring Ring sounds more natural, which makes me wish they released more songs in German.
ABBA seriously gets a bad rep outside of the fans. But if we are going to talk about music lets equate that to food tastes too. If you are going to ask me if I want caviar, or offer me grilled cheese sandwich, I will take the grilled cheese sandwich every day of the week and a billion times on Sunday.
ABBA never claimed to be deep, although a few of their songs were. All they wanted to do was be fun, and from a fan's perspective they did just that.
I hate the fight between popular music and underground or "deep" music. In all seriousness, no matter what music one may be into, the famous artists you like, are most likely to have a wide range of word wide music influences.
ABBA simply focused on pop. But in reality, in training, and in voice, they had their eye on the world.
And as far as Agnetha and Anni, Back in the late 70s, ABBA put out a "BEST OF" Album called "The Magic Of ABBA". It was advertised on TV. I bought it. And not just for the music, that album inside photo and back cover was to me, well, basically hoping my mom wouldn't knock on my bedroom door and interrupt me. TMI? You just said that Agnetha had a great ass. Funny, but Anni, between the two was my favorite.
