I don't get it, I think the whole Abba resurgence or reappraisal is based on nothing. They are worse than cheesy, all their songs that I know anyway are bland, sterile, uninteresting, no humor, wit or swing, and don't rock at all! I am no hipster or musical snob by any means, although I try to listen to a lot of fairly eclectic stuff, I love good pop and also have soft-spots for a lot of guilty-pleasure 70's stuff that a lot of people would call cheesy, but I just have never gotten much pleasure, guilty or innocent, from Abba songs, and I don't see what the jubilation is about. They are certainly no Raspberries or Badfinger, that is for absolute sure.
