his most important contribution was to put Benny on track because he was always going out of reality !
Bjorn was more practical and less dreamer , and we can expect the failure of his marriage with Agnetha because of their great similitude of temper , they were both very mature and aware , while Benny and Frida were both childish and immature , this gave a good balance within the group but was and for sure , the main reason for the divorces !
Just look at the works of Benny without Bjorn , he's completely lost , composing and releasing very bad tunes within his BAO albums !
Bjorn is not more clever than Benny of course , Benny is the genuis but just like those kind of people , he wasn't aware at all of his potential and lacked pragmatism .
as a lyricists , Bjorn did improve over the years , and he only managed to write perfect lyrics with the record ABBA the Album of 1977 , before that , the lyrics were average , without any imagination nor sense of humour .
he mastered writing process with the album Super Trouper , and songs like Our last Summer or the Winner takes it all seem to prove it .
he rarely gave his opinions at the time , just like all the others , which was very honourable because an artist has to put his work for the people not his own opinions , except for great political events (Iron curtain , dictators , guerillas , prisonners camps ) .
and in recent years , he seems to get out of his mind telling assertions against religion and so on , shameful , but nobody seems to listen to him as he's not the brilliant philosopher he thinks he is !
