Actually, I think you're right about Graham. I imagine he'd be far more starry-eyed and enthusiastic. But as for it being uncool to diss ABBA since the 80s? There were a few talking head "contributions" to the shoddy documentaries we've endured over the 90s/noughties period that might have missed that memo.

Maybe I’ve just forgotten. In parts of the 1980s it was cool just to not mention ABBA at all (the one that sticks in my head is I Know Him So Well being introduced on Top of the Pops as a “Tim Rice song” with no mention whatsoever of Björn and Benny or ABBA).
And the one really horrifying talking head comment from the 1990s or later that I remember is Frida being described as looking like Agnetha’s grandmother. Who was that? A female but I can’t place her.

I may have mentioned this before elsewhere but I recently watched the entire 1974 contest on You Tube.
You know that they’re going to appear at some point, and you know what the outcome is going to be.
But it’s still somewhat exhilarating seeing this ‘unknown’ Swedish glam-rock group appear on stage. I still got nervous as the scores came in!
