When ABBA made their splash in the 70s, anything beyond the borders of the U.S. or Great Britain was considered pop backwater. No longer. Sure, make fun of their accents, but since then the Euros have come up with a slew of memorable, irresistible pop songs, most of it danceable and therefore woggable. This set is pure, brisk fun.
