re: Blue Swede Shoes - 

dkanter:

damn straight sweden is rocking it. i only wish abba wasn’t so alphabetically premature, it’s the first thing that shows up on my itunes. people scrolling down are like, oh, wow, abba. if they were called fabba (say if agnetha used her last name - fältskog), then i could at least establish some credibility with people looking through my music library from a to e before reaching fabba, at which point people are like, well who doesn’t love a bit of fabba?

Right on.

Same also goes for Ace of Base (also Swedes).  Stand back, the Face of Base and Fabba movements have just begun.
