I didn’t say they’re not successful. They are, and hugely so. But they can be successful and still suck.
Not liking ABBA is EXACTLY the reason for my remarks, and I’ve never said otherwise. So, you aren’t being handed any tripe.
When did I make the claim that I’m being objective about this? My dislike of ABBA is purely subjective, and (again) I’ve never said otherwise. I’d like you to point out where I made this claim.

Yes which is why ABBA still dominates the music world and you, well, tell me, what succesfull global band did you start?
BINGO, subjective.
Leave it at that and despense with the notion you are the arbitor of standards of music.
You don't like ABBA. Got it.
Well, first off, ABBA do not dominate the music world. I suppose a case could be made that they once did (you would know better than I), but now? Nah.
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?
