Ok, I´ll be more specific.. Weeping Willows - Touch Me [img]smile.gif[/img] .

It`s such a great song! Whadda ye think?

The Weeping Willows? They're alright I guess, making nostalgic and dramatic popsongs as they do. Even though on some occasions they kinda overdo it on the dramatic part, making it melodramatic and a bit hard to stomach...
I'm familiar with their work, have most likely heard the song you mentioned, but I can't recall any exact track names apart from Broken Promise Land at this right moment however; I'll have to check first if the song you named is of the tasteful or of the melodramatic kind.

Is ABBA the greatest Swedish Band of all time?

No. I prefer Millencolin, The Hives, The Wannadies, Whale and the (International) Noise Conspiracy over Abba any day.

I heard that years ago that ABBA was Sweden's biggest export.

No doubts about that; if you see 'great' as 'sold the most records', Abba is most likely the greatest Swedish band ever. If you see 'great' as a tag someone puts on it because he/she really likes it, it's probably different from person to person. Especially as I can't name any Abba-songs I actually like. Matter of taste, nothing special.

I have decided to form a polka Abba tribute band. Would you like to be in it?
