I think anytime a band manages to dominate the entire frickin' world and do it again and again and again, like Abba or the Carpenters or even (Gulp) U2, respect must be paid. There is definite talent there that shouldn't be dismissed just because the music isn't your particular cuppa. Personally, I can't listen to the Carpenters because I find the sadness in Karen's voice just a bit too unrelenting, but I have mad respect for them. And Abba, sheesh, they
still dominate. Benny and Bjorn were pop monsters in their day. Some bands just have their fingers on the proverbial pulse.
