This may be blasphemous to some, but I think Ace of Base was better than Abba. While Abba pumped out a lot of hits for a longer time, the few hits Ace of Base had were off the charts better than any of Abba's garbage.

Two Words - Dancing Queen.

And Five More Words - Take a Chance on Me

And according to my sources, it should have been "Du er den en den där er full av crap". Get it right.

What about fernando and Chiquitita. And of course, WATERLOO!

But can anyone beat Roxette's power ballad, 'It must have been love'...Swedish music is beautiful.

You are full of crap is a difficult phrase to translate literally over to Swedish...you could just say: Du har mycket skit. That doesn't truly get the point across, but american missionaries would get the point you are trying to make. It would also get you a one day suspension from cougarboard if LiveCoug was online.

I totally agree. The Sign defined 1994 for me. It opened up my eyes.

I didn't realize Roxette was Swedish. They're kind of gay though.

1994 was a bit of a blur for me. Did you see The Sign first or did you open your eyes first?

I don't know where Abba falls in the scheme of greatest groups ever, I just know they're about 10,000 spots higher than Ace of Base.

Musical composition, musicianship, singing, variety of musical influences, etc. It's not even close.

P.S. I don't own any Abba music.
