More vindication

Pete Townshend's A Closet ABBA Fan

The Who guitarist Pete Townshend is a secret fan of Swedish pop group ABBA, insisting their 1975 hit SOS is "the best pop song" of all time. Townshend's daughter, Emma, has fond memories of her childhood growing up surrounded by the sounds of the Dancing Queen stars...
She says, "In 1975, the house was filled with the sound of ABBA. 'SOS is the best pop song ever written,' he will still insist. (He'll say), 'It has all those Swedish folk elements that tap into whatever elemental musical self we have.'

(Editor's note: I envision a time when one won't have to be 'in the closet' about how frigging brilliant this band was.)
