I've never quite understand why so many people hate ABBA. Perhaps someone could explain it to me. The group were huge in Europe in the 70's and combine the three most important elements in music - melody, harmony and rhythm
The last song they recorded "The Day Before You Came" is particularly poignant considering what happened to the two principle relationships. This video on You Tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIV2ZE-cf6A is over nine minutes long but has some shots of the individuals - they don't look happy.
The popularity of Mamma Mia on both the stage and the screen has no doubt done a lot to keep the music alive.
