Hi,
Yes, I can understand the hesitance in your approval of Abba. However, as the mid-70s passed the greatest rock music of that decade was in decline. Sadly it was being usurped by disco music and other lame styles of music (ie Chicago, Boz Scags, etc).
As I age I now look fondly upon Abba (and ELO) and thank them quietly for not sucummbing to disco style crap music. Although their music wasn't in the same genre of the earlier rock bands, it had a style and distinct appeal that pleases me.
Furthermore, anyone who is into playing an instrument should appreciate that Abba, like the Beatles, had excellent chord progressions and a fine talent for generating good songs with structure.
Not sure how to comment regarding Draven's appeal for Bowie in his tights. But I think Bowie and (more so) Marc Bolan (TRex) started the glam rock phase of the 70's which directly influenced groups like Kiss. We used to do Bowie, Slade and TRex covers when I was in a band, oh so many years ago. Then along came the 80's and I got a job, began drinking and started chasing molls and left the band behind.
