If I listen to Led Zeppelin, I may like or dislike some songs, or have times when I do or don't want to listen to them: but I know WHY.  I can describe what it is about the instrumentation, the lyrics, the personality of Robert Plant, etc. that makes me want to hear that music.

But what about Abba?  What makes them stand out as a band worth mentioning as anything more than a historical sidenote?  What grabs their attention more than, say, elevator music?  I just don't see the attraction.

Um they are extremely talented, just say you are not into them.
