I think Abba would have eventually shone through even if they hadn't have won. Unless of course they had split up as a band, which I think would have been unlikely in the 70's.
They were extremely popular for older people of that time, but for us kids they were terribly uncool once Punk and then New Wave came along. They never got the respect they deserved really from kids of that age (especially boys), possibly not until they released their Gold greatest hits compilation many years later. Even in 1996/97 I can remember everyone laughing at my mate for putting Abba on the jukebox in the pub one night.
But brilliant songs really, and the girls always looked sensational even if Benny and Bjorn looked like they should've been on Rainbow alongside Zippy, Bungle and George.
on the same B&W television Noel & Mike have in the background on Talking Pictures Tv Cannel on Sundays.
It used to be a family thing back then.
Not the gay lbgt monster it’s turned into today.
Australia Whats that all about?
I haven watched in decades.
I remember reading an interview with Elvis Costello when he was one of the most respected of the New Wave artists, saying that Knowing Me Knowing You (which he covered) was one of the great divorce songs, and he was absolutely right… more people should have paid attention .

If you've not watched it in decades then I'm not sure how you've decided it's turned into an LGBT monster - it hasn't, though if LGBT is a problem for you maybe don't watch - they do let people enter without asking about their sexual/gender preferences.

As are drag and Pride parades.

My Eurovision questions are:
1) wtf is Israel doing in the contest?
2) Why haven't all the other countries boycotted the event?
There are certainly some novelty acts, and the staging and performance is a significant part of the event, but there's still a majority of good standard pop.
However, in the interests of social harmony, continued learning and personal development, please do feel free to share these views with me face to face sometime.
I believe the modern idiom is - fuck around and find out.

I could never understand how they got be away with "how does it feel to pee on the wall". Different times....
I guess people read what they want and filter parts to suite there thoughts on subjects.
Firstly it used to be a family watched TV Saturday night light entertainment show when we only had two and three channels on tv to choose from in the UK during the 50s 60s 70s 80s.
Like Sunday night at the London Palladium .
Factoid it has become the biggest watched Gay LBGT music annual television program on television today.
You don’t now just get the live competition anymore You get weeks of build up programs all over the world.
Australia was not in Europe the last time I looked but they have a massive LGBGT population and that’s why they are in it and TV distribution sales .
Im not against Heterosexual LGBGT and the still not sure contingent in anyway .
Just stated a fact .
Pretty much all the TV presenters of Eurovision now are gay so flame me for that factoid if you must.
