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.

Boru

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?

Boru

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.

I DON'T have a problem with you not liking ABBA, I do have a problem with you claiming they suck.

This thread is supposed to be a playlist. How about we go back to that?

A bit before my decade of the 80s, but I did like "Do You Think I'm Sexy" and "Hot Legs" and "Some Guys Have All The Luck".

A high school boyfriend turned me on to Fleetwood Mac with the Bare Trees album.  But when Buckingham/Nicks came in...I became (and am) a diehard fan.
