Back in the 70s, even hard-bitten punks had a grudging respect for ABBA. After all it was clear that these guys could write songs. 'The Name of the Game' is a perfect example. Most bands would have squeezed 4 songs out of it, but Benny and Bjorn were on a roll. Agnetha and Anni-Frid each have solo parts. 'Dancing Queen', 'SOS' et al are great - as are lesser-known songs such as 'Angel Eyes' - but this, despite a silly if ironic video, might just be their masterpiece.
