Second Only to the Beatles? Not like, Michael Jackson. Or the Eagles, who have the largest selling album of all time?
Nah. Must be Abba.
or Queen, with the second most albums sold, second to the beatles
2nd, 3rd, 4th, whatever… ABBA are better than all of the above.
Actually, that’s Michael Jackson with the best sold album of all time
depends on if you are referring to US or Global sales. Globally, Thriller is the best seller, in the US, it is the Eagles Greatest Hits
Billie Jean ,he hEEE!!!
Proof that no matter how popular you are, you look a lot better if you have a competent wardrobe consultant.
Proof that the 70s were crazy.
Honestly, for a band during the 70s those clothes are not too far out there.
Exactly; The 1970s – The Decade That Taste Forgot!
Oh really? And letting one’s pants drag the ground with the undies showing is having taste? The 70s were wonderful!
No they weren’t. I should know – I was there.
I spefically said “taste”, not “style and/or standards”, which means that you have a point, just not the one I was making.
You’re lookin like a FOOL with your pants on the ground!
At least in those days many musicians could actually play instruments. today singers are auto-tuned, photoshopped etc by advertising people.
Absol-fragging-lutely, but that has nothing to do with the lack of fashion sense that was a shocking pink ruffle-front nylon mens’ dress shirt!
AMEN to that!!!!
for anyone going out in the ’70′s these clothes were not that far out there (as opposed to being far out).
I’d tap the blond chick
Strange; this is the only time I’ve seen Agnetha (the blonde) look hotter than Frida (Anna-freid) (the brunette). That silver jumpsuit really is criminally bad clothing.
Really? I’ve always thought that Agnetha was the pretty one (with the nicer outfits, especially that catprint suit and the blue eurovision one). Well, everyone is different…
Speaking of outfits though. Björn never had ANY luck with the outfits, they always put him the worst suit ever. I mean, take the catprint&eurovision suits.
Catprint. Benny ends up looking like he’s from Saturday night fever… They put Björn in some sort of suspender outfit that makes him look like an overgrown 5-year-old.
Eurovision. Benny is in a military inspired outfit that while the designer was definitely high and gay at least it was someone who was high and gay and working for Hugo Boss.
Björns jacket is at least passable, but those pants were awful.
I find it strange that you find it strange lol. The first year or so together, Frida was arguably the prettier one. But then Agnetha so far surpassed her in the looks department it wasn’t even funny. She became the face of the group; all everybody talked about was “the blonde”. By the end of their run, Frida looked like a kooky grandmother with orange spiky hair, while Agnetha was still an absolute knockout.
Honestly? A tight black bodysuit and a CAPE?? And what are those cone-things on the blonde’s knees? Are they to keep her from chewing or licking her knees?
Seriously; they’re the tops of thigh-boots, rolled down just above the knees.
They were moonlighting as Evel Knievel’s pit crew.
Like Lady GaGa!
Except ABBA is the one with the actual talent.
Now we know where she gets her outfit ideas… she must shop at my local thrift store.
using the austrian flag as a cape, wow … just wow O.o
lol those are the costumes from the ‘Waterloo’ and ‘Ring Ring’ videos.
I don’t know if they’re second to the Beatles but they’ve sold over 370 million albums, so they’re definitely way up there. And this year they finally get inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Go Abba!
Back in the seventies Abba sold more albums then queen or MJ. I had all their records. Lots of popstars looked like lady gaga: David Bowie, Gary glitter, Kiss… Those were the days…
It’s the Justice League of Sweden!
Not at all ashamed to say I LOVE ABBA!! When I was a teen I thought of them only as so-so, pure pop. Kind of gave them the *whatever* back then. I liked a few songs but never dug deeper into the music. I have a much greater appreciation for them now, esp. Benny Andersson’s writing and musicianship. Story of a Heart is a great new collection by Benny.
I love ABBA, and this pic really made my day. A lot of you take the whole who’s best, who’s got what taste, etc. waaaaay to seriously.
Besides, it’s not like the other singers/groups mentioned above didn’t have their fair share (if not more!) fashion mistakes! Not that I would call this particular ABBA moment a mistake… Our Heroic Troopers can come rescue me any day!
I know, I was pleasantly surprised to see them here too. My pick to rescue me would be Benny, who is just too darn handsome, even with a huge blue plumy feather across his chest.
Actuelly the real reason why swedish bands in the 70′s had so crazy clothes was tax reasons. if they had clothes that was deemed so crazy they couldnt be worn any other day in sweden but soley on stadge they got to deduct it on their taxes as an buisness expence.
