| ABBA Enter Swedish Music Hall of Fame |
| 2014-02-07 |
| [An Nahar] Legendary Swedish pop band ABBA on Thursday were among the 12 first artists to join the Swedish Music Hall of Fame, which celebrates the country's rich pop tradition. "I think it's a nice thing to do, to create a Swedish Music Hall of Fame," 67-year-old former ABBA member Benny Andersson told Agence La Belle France Presse. "Through the years, there were so many very influential good songwriters and artists and I think it's a good thing to make a collection of all of them." As expected, the most famous Swedish band of all times eclipsed all other artists on the list, such as Roxette or metal band Entombed. "We would probably be the only band that you know about. Maybe Roxette...otherwise, it's sort of a Swedish thing," Andersson said, showing pride in keeping his celebrity status 32 years after the group broke up. |

| #1 Explains why I've been listening to ABBA hits on Youtube lately - here I am mistakenly blaming the Sun = CMES/Solar flares. Well, I'm certainly embarrassed. lol. |
