One of Us Is Crying for an ABBA Thread.

So is McDonalds ...It doesn't make them a good restaurant, now does it!
Fallacy of popularity.... you should know better than trying that shite on us! lol.

No, I am sorry, but even with pop music, not just ABBA, but any pop music, i think that gets a bad wrap in general. 

I don't think all music has to be deep, be it rap, or country or pop or rock.

I see nothing wrong with some songs simply being pop.

As with any art, it is simply that which works, and just  because you personally don't like it, doesn't mean it isn't good. 

I have the same problem with food critics. And art critics,

If you want to say you personally don't like ABBA, I get that. But they did do something right otherwise they would not be one of the top selling bands of all time for the past 40 plus years. 

I personally do not like Bob Dylan's voice. I've liked his views sure, but I have never liked his voice. He has tons of fans and is talented.

I have the same problem with critics of pro sports. Soccer fans hate NFL football , some people hate golf. But I don't care about what sport at the pro level you like or do not like, you have to have some talent to get to that level.

I'd say when you have an entire museum dedicated to your band, and your music is still being used in movies and plays and has been covered by even rock musicians, you're doing something right.
