This may be blasphemous to some, but I think Ace of Base was better than Abba. While Abba pumped out a lot of hits for a longer time, the few hits Ace of Base had were off the charts better than any of Abba's garbage.

Two Words - Dancing Queen.

And Five More Words - Take a Chance on Me

And according to my sources, it should have been "Du er den en den där er full av crap". Get it right.

What about fernando and Chiquitita. And of course, WATERLOO!

But can anyone beat Roxette's power ballad, 'It must have been love'...Swedish music is beautiful.

You are full of crap is a difficult phrase to translate literally over to Swedish...you could just say: Du har mycket skit. That doesn't truly get the point across, but american missionaries would get the point you are trying to make. It would also get you a one day suspension from cougarboard if LiveCoug was online.

I didn't realize Roxette was Swedish. They're kind of gay though.

I loved their song "Rock the Cradle of Love".

As a sidenote, if you brought up the comparison between Abba and Ace of Base to a typical Swede, he would look at you like you had lost your mind to even make that comparison. There is ABBA (in terms of international exposure), then drop down many many levels and you get the rest of the bands: Ace of Base, the Cardigans, Roxette, the Hives among others.

That was Billy Idol.

Then again, I wasn't much of a fan of Roxette. Did they have a song by this title?
