Agree it is hard to compare the two, but it is inevitable given they are both Swedish. ABBA’s body of work is smaller given the relatively short time they were together. They were a shooting star that reached commercial heights that Roxette never matched.
I prefer Roxette primarily because of their lyrics and melancholic sound. They seemed more authentic and less programmatic. I also enjoy ABBA. It is not a zero sum game. Sad day for music.
You dont understand me.
One of the weirdist videos ever.
One of my all time favourite songs.
RIP Marie.
Always loved the song “Joyride”

I became interested in Roxette after I listened to that song...Before I heard that song, I was not aware of Roxette...
‘Must Have Been Love” was based on an old Swedish Christmas song. If you listen to the structure, you could imagine it fitting the Holiday Season like a delicately jeweled glove.

Interesting...That song was in PRETTY WOMAN (1990)...With Julia Roberts and Richard Gere...
