Many decent singers sing garbage, but ABBA sang pure pablum. Even their harmonies have no edge. They're so unbelievably white that only Scandanavia could unleash their abilities on the world. No comparisons with Spears or BSB are possible, because the latter pair are sex objects. It's difficult to imagine, based on their songs, that anybody in ABBA ever had sex in their entire lives, despite claims to the contrary.
