It's a shame ABBA didn't get the critical acclaim they derserve when they were active. Those two guys know how to write songs.

Yes. It's a craftmanship. To shape things in a simple way so that they are still interesting.

Like Liberace, they probably coped with it.

I read somewhere Dancing Queen was inspired by the song 'Rock me Baby' - George Mcrae

Especially the groove. However, I just listened to it, the middle 8 reminds me somehow also of DQ. Starting at 1:20. Then there's that piano..
