I went through an ABBA phase a few summers ago. Their cheese is a given, but those melodies make up for everything.
I don't think any of their big hits are cheesy (maybe I'm too familiar with them), but possibly the album fillers were. SMH over those lyrics for Dum Dum Diddle.

but you're right that the melody (and their harmony) to make up for it.

ABBA : Dum Dum Diddle
