ABBA is a Alternative rock and Disco act. Their catalogue also touches Pop. Their sound grew out of Offer Nissim, Don't Shut Me Down, You Win My Love, Belanova and Rock Your Baby. Those roots explain a lot about how ABBA arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Agnetha Fältskog, Frida, Boney M., Bee Gees and Gloria Gaynor, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Ronika, The Vaccines, Texas Lightning, Black Country, New Road and Who Owns My Heart, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 133 connections around ABBA, reaching back through Offer Nissim and forward to Ronika.
