The Definitive Collection»rank: 660by: ABBA
: :ls there anything that simply screams the 1970s' most indelible pop cultural clichés--the sunny romanticism, perfect vocal hooks, feathered hair, stacked heels, and flared sateen britches--more than the Swedish pop phenomenon Abba? And while many a pundit snootily dismissed them during their prime as some sort of prefabricated aberration, their worldwide popularity peaked somewhere just south of Beatlesmania. lndeed, Abba's music was as finely tooled and crafted as anything to come from a Volvo or lKEA factory--if occasionally more economically potent. This double-disc, ... |

There's enough variety to ensure that it doesn't become wallpaper, and very little filler. 'Left of Center' by Suzanne Vega, with Joe Jackson on piano, is tremendous and ... |

Number Ones»rank: 1766by: ABBA
: :Abba are following in the footsteps of The Beatles, Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson with the Number 0nes concept, and we're assuming that the designation applies to charts from around the world. There are 18 songs on the album, but no Abba song ever hit #1 in Canada, 'Dancing Queen' was the only one to do it in the U.S., and seven singles did it in the U.K. So the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest winners must have made a major impact in ... |
