I have never started a globally successful band. Does that disqualify me from having an opinion about ABBA?
I’m glad you understand that my view of ABBA is subjective, especially since I just told you that.
When did I claim to be the arbiter of music standards?
Correct, I don’t like ABBA and you don’t like the Beatles. Why is it that you’re allowed to have opinions about music and I’m not?

Wow, huge diff buddy.
I will readly admit the Beatles have/had talent, even though I am not into them.
You are most certianly entiled to your opinons of ABBA, like I have for the Beatles, but when either reach that level, it isn't a matter of bad or good from an effective standpoint, both did well. It is a matter of being a fucking dick, when some idiot argues over mushrooms or pinanpple on pizza. I've had crappy pizza for sure, but not because someone had a great pizza with mushrooms which I am not into. And there is also nothing wrong with pinapple on pizza either, but if you ask many, they'd treat you like you were security at a Nazi concentration camp.
You don't like ABBA that is your opinion. I get that. But just like I don't like caviar, or mushrooms on my stake, It isn't a matter of condemnation at that point, but merely "I don't like mushrooms".
I have no problem with someone who doesn't like ABBA, just like I don't have a problem whith someone who loves mushrooms on their pizza. I don't care that you don't like what I don't like, that is always going to happen regardless of topic. But it does become a probem with me when someone acts like it is murder that others don't buy into their tastes.
I will never get tired of this song.

No, I never said I didn't like the Beatles, I said I didn't get them. I don't hate them, I just never got the appeal.
Well, you clearly DO have a problem with me not liking ABBA, since every time I express that opinion, you go off your trolley and start lying about what I said.
