ABSTRACT
Abba, Swedish pop group. Unleashed on to an unsuspecting world by the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974, the Swedish group Abba became one of the most enduring of the 1970s pop sensations. Garbed in a glam-trash 1970s aesthetic, with a long list of eminently singable tunes, they acquired a cult following among gays and lesbians which both pre-dated and outlived their mass appeal.
