 "In 1974 the ambitious ABBA were in their second attempt at the Eurovision Festival... The song was 'Waterloo.'"

 "If it’s true that musically ABBA brought nothing (but is it really true?), at the same time it is not explained why their star has never faded even after the break-up of '82... could it be because we are talking about Pop and not pop?"
