Thanks to Erasure and that bloody Bjorn Again thing, Abba have been increasingly ghettoised into this whole Gay thing. Very different to when I was growing up and it seemed as though every 2.4 children household had a copy of Arrival. It was as commonplace as finding white dogshit and wearing disco rollerskates back then. Now the media seem set on casting them as this Eurotrash camp thing, which wasn't the case at all, once.
Like Glice, I could never trust anyone that truly hated Abba. I'd say the same about the Bee Gees too. Forget 'Stayin' Alive', who could deny the ethereal splendour of something like 'How Deep is Your Love'. Pure sonic magic! Almost like a tone poem. Ditto Blondie's 'Heart of Glass' (still the greatest song created by humankind).
