They are better than all the other Swedish pop rock bands.
I can’t think of any but I’m sure they are no.1.

There was actually a study of the music of ABBA vs. Mozart’s and Bach’s on Cardiovascular Effects.

It was entitled:

The Cardiovascular Effect of Musical Genres: A randomized controlled study on the effect of compositions by W. A. Mozart, J. Strauss, and ABBA

You're on safe ground if you say ABBA sold more records than any other Swedish pop band. That's an objective fact, "better" is an opinion.

Looks like they’re trying to do a TRON reboot reboot.

I love them. There are better groups overall, but their music makes me happy.

I never understood the appeal of ABBA.

When ABBA’s original music came out I was not interested in that style of music, and I suppose I am still not interested in it, but I watched Mama Mia with Mrs. Chandler, who is a fan of theirs, and enjoyed it. If anyone has a problem with that, you can go dot dot dot yourself.

Yes, they were a good group.

My favorites songs of theirs were Waterloo, Fernando, SOS, Dancing Queen.

Do you remember the parody from the Rush Limbaugh show spoofing Barney Frank, as “The Banking Queen”? It was to the tune of ABBA’s “Dancing Queen”.
