Swedish group most prominent throughout the Seventies. Consisted of Agnetha Faltskog, Bjorn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid (Frida) Lyngstad. Became famous after winning the Eurovision Song Contest. Songs are now used as the basis for the hit musical Mamma Mia! which has played to packed houses the world over. Most Yanks became aware of ABBA when they saw the film 'Muriel's Wedding' which proves that even in the Seventies, septics could not tell good music from the crap all over the radio. But that is another story.

Hebrew word which means "Father" and is directed toward God. It is ,literally, the basic equivilent to the word "daddy".

ABBA - A swedish pop group of four members, popular during the '70s and early '80s. The name is derived from their initials; Anni-frid (Frida) Lyngstad, Benny Andersson, Bjorn Ulvaeus, and Agnetha Faltskog.
Both Frida and Agnetha have successful solo-careers, while Benny & Bjorn have two musicals based on their work, Mamma Mia and Chess. The 1994 movie Muriel's Wedding has also helped introduce younger generations to ABBA's music.

Multitalented musical legends. They have done disco, rock & roll, and probably a few other genres as well. About 25 years later, the songs "Dancing Queen", "Fernando" and "Mamma-Mia" are still heard just about everywhere, but those aren't near their best songs. You hear one of those 3 disco songs, and don't expect them to do rock & roll, right? Well then you're WRONG, because they made rock songs like "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)", "Money, Money, Money", and "Summer Night City"...listen to one of those. Bang your head and thrash around as necessary. Then listen to their pop and disco stuff and get a different vibe. See? See how legendary they are? Most of their songs are amazing, and enjoyable by just about everyone, whether you're an adult who grew up listening to it, a teenager whose parents listened to it growing up, whatever. The power of ABBA touches all.

Anni-Fird/Bjorn/Benny/Agathina

A pop group from the seventies characterized by their incredibly catchy songs and cliched but loveable lyrics. Consists of four members. The men wrote the songs and produced, while the girls sang the songs. Anna-Frid was the truly talented one, but Aganetha got to sing most of the songs because she had sex appeal.

Swedish pop group consisting of two men and two women (who got married then divrced) who had a string of massively popular songs. Thier appeal was lessened by their terrible dress sense.
