I had to share this link my roommate sent me: When Tight Trousered Vikings Roamed the Countryside!

Aye, the horrors of life during ABBA but before Roxette, let alone Whale. Pick your favorite and let us all know why.

My roomie gave a special mention to the first band: "Did you know The Goodies kept inbreeding until the three of them gave birth to the five Baracudaz? It's true. Just look at how each of them is at least 5/8 Tim Brooke-Taylor, 3/8 Bill Oddie, and 7/8 Graeme Garden."

I suspect Tickies and Teddy Boys used to do battle every weekend in the fields of Sweden. They'd leave entire townships in their wake and tailors scrambling to import enough polyester to replace torn outfits.

In contrast, Hux-Flux had it right: keep it calm and focus on the collars. They also give props to the other bands on the page, as if to appease the Ghost of Hipster References Future.
