Zappa's influence was never widespread!
And f**k ABBA.
There, I said it.
He did influence a lot of musicians though, June and even when I was 12 or 13, I'd heard of him. I wasn't even into prog or music much then. I couldn't name a tune by him back then, obviously but he certainly wasn't unknown.

I had no idea who ABBA were until the Mama Mia play or movie were released. I remember hearing about how they were offered millions of dollars to reunite for 1 gig and they refused. I had no idea why anyone would offer them money to reunite. After Mama Mia came out I became aware of those couple of songs that they were famous for, and admittedly I still wondered why anyone would pay them to reunite.

Oh, that's the point I'd forgotten to add.
ABBA: a few famous songs. The Beatles: a few famous whole, complete, albums.
