.. though the music is not that great. Abba were very much a staple on the radio in the 70's, so they are good to listen to for nostalgia, though when I did buy an album of their greatest hits a few years ago, I found that it was nice to hear the old songs and sing along a bit, but that musically they really didn't stand up to being listened to more than once or twice. I guess Dancing Queen is probably about the best of their songs.
No matter how sophisticated the productions are, which I have no doubt of, they tend to appeal more to the musically unsophisticated who want a good tune, words you can understand, and songs that tell a story--and there's nothing wrong with that, even if it is not really my cup of tea.
That is why this cheesy group is so beloved.
