Holy shit does this have ABBA stampped all over it.

That has Chiquititia, Fernando, and Knowing Me Knowing You DNA all over it.

You mean it sucks?

I agree with you - a straight rip-off of Abba's style, sound mix, and musical phrasing and parts of their melodies.  Actually not bad, in a retro way.

You are so cute when you don't have anything positive to say.

When you have the Foo Fighters, rap artists, Yngwie Malmsteen cover or admit to you being an influence to their music. And believe me, ABBA is only second to the Beatles to the influence of modern rock. 

Your distaste for their music is your own personal bugaboo. But the fact that we are talking about ABBA now, says far more about their talent than staying power, than your own lack of simply admitting you are not into them. 

If ABBA sucked so bad, then why are you still railing against them?

I don't have any of those, and your comment about the influence of ABBA is simply wrong.

I happily admit that I am not into ABBA.

I'm not railing against ABBA. Whatever gave you that idea?

Then why did you imply they sucked?

ABBA disbanded in 1982, and since have still had multiple "best of" albums that went platnum and two movies based on their work. And it is 2021 and you and I are still still talking about them.

Funny thing, I have never been into the Beatles. I could go without listening to them. I don't hate them, but I didn't grow up with them either. I'd take Pat Benatar or Queen and even the Beach Boys over the Beatles. It just seems to me, you don't like ABBA. Fine. I get that. But don't hand me any tripe about you not liking ABBA isn't the reason for your remarks. Just say you are not into them. I get that. But no, sorry, not buying your claim you are being objective.

I didn’t imply they sucked. I said they sucked. But even that doesn’t qualify as railing against them.

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.
